Kinesis XC 120

Kinesis XC 120

Vivid Blue paintjob for updated XC 120

For 2008 Kinesis has updated its long-time popular XC 120 hardtail frame with tweaked geometry and given it a lick of fresh new paint.

Made from an Easton tubeset, the Maxlight XC 120 has been continually updated with the passing years to keep it fresh and relevant. The frame features a hydroformed Kinesium top tube, Kinesium down tube with a new 3D down tube gusset, new forged dropouts and a new ZeroStack head tube. Other changes include that of the geometry, with a lower bottom bracket and revised head angle.

For 2008 Kinesis has added two new colour options, Vivid Blue and Tungest Silver alongside Mocha Metallic, Diamond Black and RC Red.
