The devil's in the details
Our designs
Cyber Zebra
Project: LOCA
Paintwork: LOCA
Project
A bold zebra pattern, freely scattered speckles and the translucent structure of the carbon fiber. Cyber Zebra combines the expression of street art with the beauty of a carbon frame. From a distance, it catches the eye with its strong contrast. Up close, it reveals details that give each individual frame its own character.
Execution
The speckles vary in size, density and distribution, creating a unique composition on the surface. Small splashes, irregular edges and subtle differences in the flow of the stripes are natural traces of the work that goes into each individual frame. The carbon remains visible beneath the paint in the zebra stripes – its structure gives the pattern additional depth.
Ivory Shard
Project: LOCA
Paintwork: Velo Kolor
Project
Pearl white, classic black and a unique gold-copper effect with an irregular pattern reminiscent of natural minerals. We knew it was going to be a strong design, but when we saw the final result in person, we simply had to pick our jaws up off the floor.
Execution
The sharp, clearly defined color transitions required exceptional precision from the paint shop. The white paint was enriched with a shimmering pearl effect, creating a fantastic impression in sunlight. When it comes to the marble effect, we leave some room for imagination – the process behind its creation remains our secret.
Mercury Pulse
Project: Loca
Paintwork: Velo Kolor
Project
We planned the angles of the color transitions in this design so that the lines would be as dynamic as possible and converge towards the front of the bike. The color selection is classic: black, red and silver. The final effect, however, comes from the last detail: an almost mirror-like platinum finish that gives the entire paintwork a truly striking character.
Execution
The color transitions, similar to those used in Ivory Shard, were quite a challenge – they require enormous precision to ensure that all the angles line up perfectly between the individual tubes. Our paint shop, of course, handled the task brilliantly! The silver paint with its almost mirror-like finish is even more impressive. We managed to develop a coating that looks fantastic while also maintaining high durability.
Abyss
Project: Loca
Paintwork: Loca
Project
This design draws inspiration from the deep colors of water and the silence of places worth reaching under your own power.
Execution
The rich, ocean-inspired shade at the front of the frame gradually transitions into black. Light brings out hints of green and blue, highlighting the lines of the carbon construction. In the shade, the paintwork becomes dark and calm. In sunlight, it reveals its depth and a subtle metallic glow. The gold logos add warmth to the overall design, standing out clearly against the dark surface. Every frame is painted by hand. Subtle differences in the tonal transitions and distribution of color give each individual frame its own character.
Purple Deep
Project: Loca
Paintwork: Loca
Project
A paintwork that never repeats itself. Every frame catches the color differently. Every transition, reflection and detail creates a slightly different result.
Execution
PURPLE DEEP is created using a water transfer technique. The paint floats on the surface of the water in a special tank and is then transferred onto the frame through the precise and skilful process of dipping and carefully pulling the frame out of the water. The entire process requires experience, a good eye and careful handwork.

Geometry
Our carbon gravel frames accommodate tyres up to 50 mm wide. Combined with a tall head tube, long wheelbase,
and generous reach, this geometry allows for confident descending on rough terrain – and comfort during long bikepacking journeys.

Our frames are tested
in EFBE lab, in Germany
We build every bike according to a single principle: it must be good enough that we'd want to ride it ourselves. The frames undergo rigorous strength tests in accordance with the European ISO standard, and are additionally tested at the leading EFBE laboratory in Germany.
This is complemented by a multi-stage quality control process: upon receipt of the frames, after painting, and after assembly. Thanks to this, we are confident that the Libre will withstand years of intensive riding on the most demanding routes.
Your perfect adventure machine
There's a reason it's called “Libre” – freedom is built into every line of this bike. Libre CF gives you the confidence to choose any route: from long-distance bikepacking to high-speed gravel races. Thoughtful geometry and fine-tuned specs make it ready for anything.
Carbon
Lightweight, stiff, and durable – our carbon delivers excellent vibration damping, razor-sharp handling, and all-day comfort, even on demanding terrain.
SRAM Force E1 AXS
Wireless levers mean a clean cockpit and precise shifting. Tight gear steps and a wide range give you an advantage on climbs and fast sections alike. HS2 rotors dissipate heat better and boost braking power by up to 7% – brake with confidence even in extreme conditions. The carbon crank and derailleur cage bring greater stiffness and lower weight, while the extra buttons on the levers let you control your navigation more easily while riding.
From 8.2 kg
The ultra-light construction makes climbs easier to conquer, even the ones that once felt out of reach. And when you need to carry the bike, it will not be a problem.
700x50c
Clearance in line with modern standards opens up huge tyre options – letting you run the best gravel tyres on the market.
Key features
Zero cables.
Zero compromise.
Thanks to FSA ACR technology and wireless drivetrains, all cables are fully hidden inside the cockpit and frame.
The result? A clean, minimalist look, easy cleaning, and full compatibility with handlebar-mounted bags. No cable damage. No complex setups. No spacers.
Ready for bikepacking and ultradistance races
Thanks to cleverly thought-out details, our gravel bike is a fantastic partner for long journeys. Multiple mounting points for bottle cages, a top-tube bag and mudguards open the door to bikepacking and countless cycling adventures. In the new model, we introduced an innovative down tube storage compartment with a very large opening and a magnetic Fidlock closure – you can pull out all the essentials with one hand, even while riding.
Ride fast. Ride comfortably.
Carefully selected components deliver reliability and comfort on every kilometre.
Drivetrain built
for any condition
We use advanced wireless SRAM AXS groupsets in most of our gravel builds. Why? Set it once and forget it. Flawless shifting no matter the conditions, massive gear range, long battery life, low weight, great stiffness and a clean look. What more could you ask for?
Wheels that carry you
From the legendary ZIPP 303 XPLR S carbon wheels, through boutique Dandy Horse builds, to bombproof Mavics – we rely only on proven solutions that we have been riding ourselves for years. Tyres are just as important. We chose the Czech Tufo Thundero HD – one of the fastest gravel tyres on the market, with a reinforced casing that stands up brilliantly to cuts.
