LANDYACHTZ
Vancuver, Canada
Landyachtz Bikes, based in Vancouver, Canada, is widely recognized for its skateboards. Whether it's four wheels or two, the company shares a deep passion for motion and a commitment to crafting high-quality products that enhance people's lives.
The concept of a Drop Bar MTB initially seemed unconventional, but once Landyachtz embraced it, the idea took off. In this year’s Tour Divide, three of their bikes are part of the pack, ridden by Alexia Molina, Corey Wallace, and Svein Tuft. All three athletes are off to a strong start. Svein Tuft, in particular, may be a familiar name due to his professional cycling career, which included stage victories in prestigious events such as the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia.
For the 2025 Grodeo, Landyachtz developed a build that mirrors the geometry and design created for Svein Tuft, while adding a playful touch of Canadiana to the aesthetic. Eschewing electronic components, the team chose to run traditional cables. Fortunately, SRAM offers a setup that enables a 12-speed drivetrain with Eagle range, perfectly aligning with their vision.
LITESPEED
Chattanooga, TN, USA
Coll dels Reis
With the Coll dels Reis, Litespeed set out with a singular mission: to build the world’s lightest titanium climbing bike. The medium frame weighs just 1,049 grams, making it the lightest production titanium disc-brake frame ever created. Despite its featherweight status, the frame remains thoroughly modern, featuring a 44mm headtube, a T47 bottom bracket, a UDH rear dropout, internal cable routing, and clearance for 35 mm tires. For those seeking to reduce weight even further, selecting the BSA Superlight bottom bracket and machined titanium dropouts lowers the frame weight to an astonishing 948 grams.
The Coll dels Reis is constructed using Litespeed’s lightest Superform FW tubeset, which is fully custom, hand-formed, and tailored to each frame size. Every tube incorporates variable wall thickness and cold-worked 3D shaping along its entire length. The result is a frame that is not only exceptionally light but also delivers the signature ride quality that makes titanium bikes feel truly magical.
This particular build includes an ENVE Road IN-Route fork, SES AR One-Piece handlebar, SES 2.3 wheels, a SRAM RED AXS groupset, a Litespeed titanium seatpost, and a striking Balearic blue anodized finish
MOOTS
Steamboat Springs, CO, USA
Blackbird
The Blackbird is a bold, high-gloss showpiece designed to turn heads and defy convention. Built on the chassis of Moots’ renowned titanium Routt CRD (pronounced “r-out”), it features fully internal cable routing, a SRAM Red XPLR AXS groupset, and a premium selection of ENVE components, including the Gravel IN-Route fork, AR One-Piece handlebar, SES 4.5 wheels, and Hex tires for confident grip across varied terrain.
Crafted exclusively for Grodeo, the Blackbird blends high-performance heritage with the precision of hand-built titanium from Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Departing from Moots’ signature anodized finish, the company collaborated with Black Magic Paint to create a jet-black frame accented with gold detailing—an audacious aesthetic that demands attention. Like the iconic automobile it honors, the Moots Blackbird stands as a modern American classic and embodies the brand’s relentless pursuit of the perfect ride.
MOSAIC
Boulder, CO, USA
Mosaic GT-1 i45
The Mosaic GT-1 i45 from the Nebula Artist Series represents a singular fusion of performance, craftsmanship, and artistic collaboration. Handbuilt in Boulder, Colorado, this titanium gravel bike is engineered for high-performance riding, featuring oversized tubing, progressive geometry, and clearance for 45mm tires to deliver speed and stability across diverse terrain.
This limited-edition build is the result of a special partnership between Mosaic and Velosmith Bicycle Studio in Chicago, one of the nation’s premier custom bike retailers. The collaboration brings together two passionate forces in bespoke cycling.
The GT-1 i45 is equipped with a complete ENVE Composites package, including carbon wheels, cockpit, and fork, ensuring a seamless blend of lightweight precision and all-terrain capability. Its Nebula paint finish—part of the Artist Series—evokes the swirling drama of deep space through rich gradients, cosmic shimmer, and shifting tones that transform with the light. More than just a gravel bike, it stands as a functional work of art, crafted for riders who demand the extraordinary.
NO22 BICYCLES
Johnstown, NY, USA
Drifter X All-Road Bike
No. 22 introduced a variation of its Drifter X all-road bike, evolving from the brand’s award-winning Drifter model. Designed for riders who split their time between pavement and gravel, the Drifter X offers a versatile platform with updated tire clearance of 42mm, making it equally capable on-road and off.
This particular build features No. 22’s Cobalt Cerakote and Rose anodized finish, with design details carried through the No.6 Composites gravel fork, which includes a signature titanium nameplate. The bike is outfitted with No. 22’s own titanium bottle cages, a bespoke fully internal 3D-printed titanium stem, a matching titanium headset, and the brand’s signature titanium fenders. A SRAM Force drivetrain, ENVE G23 wheels, and an ENVE AR SES handlebar complete the build with precision and style.
RIZZO
Madrid, Spain
Handmade in Madrid using Columbus Hyperion titanium tubing, Rizzo Cycles’ all-road bike is a masterclass in modern framebuilding. The frame showcases a full suite of custom 3D-printed components, including the dropouts, seat cluster, and upper section of the headtube. By blending CNC machining with 3D printing technology, the size-specific head tubes create a clean, distinctive front end tailored to each build. Paired with a custom Chris King AeroSet headset, the result is a sleek, contemporary aesthetic that remains timeless in both durability and design.
What distinguishes this bike is its remarkable balance and adaptability. It’s aggressive enough for fast road miles, yet confidently built to handle dirt detours thanks to a geometry designed for stability and reactivity, along with clearance for 40c tires. The frame is compatible with both 1x and 2x drivetrains, though the builder’s personal preference leans toward a 1x13 setup. Fully integrated cable routing enhances the bike’s clean lines, while in-house anodizing highlights every weld and fabrication detail—embracing the complexities of the process rather than concealing them, resulting in consistent color without spotting or stains.
This all-road build is more than custom—it’s a cohesive vision realized through craftsmanship, innovation, and a deep understanding of what makes a titanium bike truly exceptional.
SAGE TITANIUM
Beaverton, OR
Droptimator
Here’s the proofread and third-person version of your text, with all specifications integrated into the narrative and no bullet points:
The Sage Titanium Droptimator stands as the first fully modern, purpose-built drop-bar mountain bike, offering riders a high-performance machine for tackling rough, technical gravel courses and marathon MTB races. Designed with custom geometry, it accommodates aggressive mountain bike tires and gearing while optimizing rider position for speed and aerodynamics.
This hybrid build begins with a 100mm RockShox SID SL Ultimate Flight Attendant fork paired with a SRAM XX SL drivetrain. It rolls on 29x2.4” tires mounted to ENVE Pro XC wheels and is equipped with 4-piston Level brakes for confident control. To bridge the gap between gravel and MTB, the setup incorporates SRAM Red levers, ENVE’s SES AR handlebars, and a -17º Aero stem—creating a genre-defying configuration that reimagines what a “monster gravel” bike can be. The result is a bold, boundary-pushing ride that’s as capable as it is exhilarating.
SCARAB
El Ritiro, Colombia
Páramo
Scarab Cycles proudly unveils an update to its celebrated Páramo, a modern gravel bike designed for the rugged roads, mountainous terrain, and expansive páramo landscapes of Colombia. Built for riders seeking the perfect balance between all-road speed and off-road capability, the new Páramo reflects Scarab’s ongoing commitment to craftsmanship, fit, and ride quality.
Engineered around 40–50mm tires, depending on the rider’s preferred handling characteristics, the Páramo offers a harmonious blend of fast-rolling efficiency and off-road compliance. It sits between Scarab’s Apüna, an all-road platform optimized for up to 40mm tires, and the Páramo Ultra, an expedition-ready machine with sliding dropouts and clearance for up to 55mm tires. Each model features a unique blend of tubing to deliver a distinct ride feel. The updated Páramo now accommodates 50mm tires, thanks to a redesigned rear triangle with new chainstays and seatstays that allow for wider clearance while maintaining space for larger chainrings.
Riders can choose between a fully integrated front end for a clean, modern aesthetic or a more traditional cockpit setup. Additional frame features include a T47 bottom bracket and UDH dropouts, ensuring compatibility with modern drivetrains. The frame is also compatible with Scarab’s Colibrí Damping System—an optional integrated carbon seatmast designed to smooth out rough terrain on longer rides. Constructed from a specially selected mix of Columbus Spirit and Columbus Life steel tubing, the Páramo delivers Scarab’s signature ride quality across all frame sizes, offering a responsive and comfortable experience tailored to each rider.
To mark the launch, Scarab introduces a new paint scheme called Tropical Cliché—a vibrant reinterpretation of its Jungla design. This version adds more white space to the pattern and incorporates camouflaged flora and fauna among bold colors. Inspired by the Chocó Jungle, where Colombia’s mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, Tropical Cliché pays tribute to one of the most biologically diverse regions on Earth. The paintwork invites viewers to explore its playful depictions of wildlife and discover the intricate details hidden within.
The launch Páramo, finished in Tropical Cliché, features ENVE 3.4 wheels, an ENVE SES AR IN-Route One-Piece handlebar, a SRAM Force XPLR AXS drivetrain, a Wolf Tooth Premium EC44 Aero headset for ENVE IN-Route integration, and Vittoria Terreno T50 Mixed Gravel 50mm tires—each component selected to complement the bike’s performance and aesthetic vision.
WEIS MFG
Brooklyn, NY
Hammer Gravel Ti Plus
The Hammer Gravel Ti Plus debuts in its first iteration as a groundbreaking entry into the gravel category. Built specifically for team rider Max Hoffman, this titanium frame is the first of its kind, designed to push the boundaries of what a gravel race bike can be. With clearance for 57mm tires, fully internal cable routing, and integrated bosses on the fork and top tube for long-haul versatility, the bike is equipped with the newly released frame-mounted Red XPLR 13-speed groupset and finished in a striking, space-inspired paint scheme.
To accommodate such wide tires, the design team reimagined several core elements of their frame architecture. The chainstays were extended to 425mm, and the drive-side yoke angle was steepened to maintain clearance for a race-ready chainring without compromising performance. ENVE’s Adventure fork was selected for its generous tire clearance and rake geometry, which delivers precise, balanced handling. Paired with the ENVE IN-Route headset system, the result is a sleek, futuristic race rig that blends innovation, capability, and clean aesthetics into one cohesive machine.
