The frame.

The Raven frame is designed for bikepacking. With well thought out features created from real world bikepacking experiences, along with the advantages gained by basing it around a Fatbike. More about this below.

The Raven is handcrafted in Grade 9 - 3Al/2.5V Titanium, offering a lifetime of pure comfort and longevity. With all the features you could need.

Now available with either a tradition drivetrain, or a Pinion gearbox.

Features.

As the Raven is designed primarily for Bikepacking, you will find plenty of fixings for bottles, bags as well as rear rack mounts. Rack mounts have become almost the norm now, getting rid of the wagging high up seatpack. It also allows you to run a dropper post, offering even more offroad capability.

One thing you will notice is the fact the frame is designed to be run with a flat, or riser bar. This is again to meet the demands of the offroad bikepacker and especially the trails in the UK.

The Raven also allows for multi wheel sizes, making it very versatile and lessening the need for another bike. ( I know, we all need another bike). Sliding rear dropouts help get your wheel in the perfect position.

Why a fatbike?

So why a Fabike? Well its simple really, width! Now we know a Fatbike is the last bike on your wish list but bare with us.

Fatbikes, like all bikes come in various designed and abilities, The Raven is designed to offer the feel of a trail bike but with the surefootedness of the wider rubber, whilst retaining amazing handling and, wait for it, no increased drag. As for weight, theres nothing in it with the right spec.

Another feature that comes with extra width is tyre clearance! How many times have you ground to a halt in muddy conditions, or just wanted to fit a larger more comfortable tyre. A fatbike gives you loads of room for any conditions.

The extra width also means more space in the front triangle, allowing you to carry such things as cookers, larger bottles and all low down in the frame, where the weight needs to be.

And finally… the obvious ability to ride over anything.

Options.

Because all of our frames are made to order we can alter things to suit you needs, and normally at no extra cost.

Things such as tweaked the sizing, internal, or external cable routing, sliding or fixed dropouts, pinion or a traditional drivetrain can all be catered for.

Should you go for a pinion setup the frame comes with a splitter to allow for the fitment of a Gates belt drive system.
