Terlingua Titanium Gravel Bike (Archived Model)

The Terlingua Titanium was a ti version of our steel model. Over the years we introduced minor changes such as slightly taller head tube lengths and a dropper port. In late 2022, we launched the new Terlingua SL Titanium which is a more race minded version of the Terlingua platform using a different tubing spec as well.

The Terlingua Titanium represents the pinnacle combination of gravel geometry, component compatibility, and tire clearance. A lightweight frame with a team tested tube-set the Terlingua is focused on all road race performance. Features like: Sliding Paragon Machine Works dropout inserts, industry leading compatibility for tire clearance (up to 700c x 50mm or 650b x 2.1”) and big chainring clearances for 1x and 2x drivetrain styles mean the Terlingua will find a home in your bike stable for years of service. The titanium frame’s brushed finish is extremely durable and is easy keep looking new for the life of the bike, custom finishes are also available. The Terlingua Titanium comes in a range of sizes from 52-60cm designed to fit true to size. - MADE IN USA

Ride Quality

  • The titanium tube-set is tuned for responsiveness that accelerates fast with stable handling

  • Inspired by our steel Terlingua we chose titanium tube dimensions for comfort from the seat-stay through the top tube junction

  • Compared to our steel Terlingua this Titanium version has similar dampening capabilities, but returns to its original position faster resulting in a lively feel

  • This balance of strength and suppleness paired to the Terlingua’s geometry is designed track through rough gravel grinding conditions

  • Size specific bottom bracket heights fine tune the balance point for cornering to maximize fit performance

  • The Terlingua titanium is designed to perform on long endurance gravel rides and races across varied terrain
