The frame.

The Raven 148 frame is a non-fatbike (Boost) version of the Raven, designed for bikepacking. With well thought out features created from real world bikepacking experiences. More about this below.

The Raven 148 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.

Why Boost?

So why a Boost version? Well its simple really, demand!

As with our fatbike version, tyre clearance matters, so making sure you can fit tyres up to 29x2.6 and still have plenty of room is a priority.

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.

We are happy to discuss anything should you need any further information
