We collaborated closely with Kinesis ambassador Emma Osenton to develop a bike-packing MTB frame capable of enduring the most challenging of adventure rides. The result is the Fernweh.

A truly versatile frameset, the Fernweh is constructed from lightweight cold-drawn seamless 3Al/2.5V titanium tubing, offering both exceptional strength and rider comfort.

In 2018, Emma completed the demanding Grenzsteintrophy along the former East-West German border patrol track, an experience that significantly influenced this project. Emma played a crucial role in refining the frame design to ensure an optimal fit for the rider along with all the necessary gear. She also coined the name Fernweh, a German word that conveys 'a longing for far-off places.'

Our goal was to create a unique frameset that is rugged and dependable, yet as comfortable, efficient, and lightweight as possible. If the Fernweh were a car, it would be comparable to a Paris-Dakar rally car - capable of going anywhere, in any way. How far will you take yours?
