In the cycling world, trends change almost every season, but there are materials that remain beyond fashion and seasonality. Titanium, which is what we're talking about, has been treated for years as a niche choice, reserved for the most conscious cyclists.
Today, thanks to manufactures like Koloride, it ceases to be a curiosity and becomes a real alternative to aluminum and carbon – especially in the world of bikepacking and ultra-distances.
If you are looking for a bicycle designed for decades of use, offering exceptional riding comfort and resistance to harsh conditions, the Ti-Koloride line will naturally appear on your radar.
Why titanium? Properties that make a difference
Choosing titanium is not a matter of prestige, but of function. It's a material with a unique set of physical features that are particularly appreciated off-road.
A titanium frame is light, extremely durable and, crucially, perfectly dampens vibrations in off-road riding. In practice, this means that where rigid carbon begins to tire the hands after a few hours, and aluminum transfers the impact against a stone, titanium works under the rider, smoothing out unevenness instead of amplifying it.
The natural elasticity of the material clearly reduces body fatigue over long distances. Especially during many hours of riding on gravel, cobblestones or uneven asphalt.
Resistance to external conditions is also significant. Titanium does not corrode, is not afraid of moisture, salt or difficult transport, making it the perfect partner for bikepacking trips – from coastal routes to muddy, mountain trails.
DISCOVER Ti and RANGE Ti – 3D technologies and different faces of titanium
At Koloride, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, designing frames for specific riding scenarios.
DISCOVER Ti-Koloride is the most performance-oriented version of our gravel bike. In the design, we use 3D printing to produce the titanium frame nodes, which allows us to precisely control stiffness and handling characteristics. It's a structure created for ultramarathons, long-distance races and non-stop riding. Where efficiency and stability at high speed are crucial.
The RANGE Ti-Koloride, on the other hand, represents an all-road approach. This is a bicycle designed for people who want to move smoothly between asphalt and gravel, without having to choose a single surface. A compact geometry, tire clearance up to 40 mm and balanced riding characteristics make RANGE perfectly suited for long, mixed routes. The T47 bottom bracket standard and internal cable routing enhance the visual simplicity and aesthetics of the structure.
Personalization above all – Your bike, your rules
In our manufacture, we don't recognize catalog bikes. Personalization is the foundation of Koloride's design – we build each bicycle for a specific cyclist, their riding style, distances and the terrain in which it will be used.
GRAIN Ti-Koloride is a classic, versatile gravel bike with comfortable geometry, derived directly from the aluminum KRASKA platform – the model that started the history of Koloride gravel bikes. It's a proven, balanced geometry designed for long routes, everyday riding and universal bikepacking.
The LOOP Ti-Koloride was built on the same platform – a model using identical geometry, but designed for a belt drive. The split frame design allows the use of the Gates Carbon Drive system, making LOOP the ideal choice for multi-week trips away from service.
Configuration without limits
A key feature of all Koloride models is the ability to freely shape the bicycle's configuration while maintaining their classic, versatile gravel identity.
The configurator allows, among other things, to:
- change the drop handlebar to a flat bar,
- choose a fork: rigid carbon or suspended (e.g., RockShox Rudy)
- choose a chain drive based on SRAM or Shimano groupsets
- use a Gates Carbon Drive belt drive with Alfine 11 or Alfine Di2 hub
- wheels on Dt-Swiss, Evanlite, Zipp or Dandy Horse rims.
Importantly, personalization doesn't end with key components. We also adjust each bike in terms of:
- design: fork painting, anodizing and frame finishes
- stem length, crank length, type of seatpost
- handlebar width
- saddle type
- appropriate accessories. Thanks to this, the bike is ready to ride from the moment of pickup — without the need to replace brand new components.
Our Ti-Koloride models: DISCOVER, RANGE, GRAIN and LOOP can function both as light expedition gravel bikes, everyday bikes, and platforms for long-distance bikepacking — without changing their base geometry.
Ready for expeditions – bikepacking functionality
When designing expected Koloride titanium gravel bikes, we assume that the bike should not only be fast, but above all self-sufficient in the field.
That's why models from the Ti-Koloride line are equipped with numerous mounting holes and attachment points, enabling the installation of additional bottle cages, cargo cages, frame bags, top tube bags or light expedition racks.
This allows you to configure the bike exactly for the nature of the expedition — from minimalist ultra setups to full bikepacking configurations with camping gear. Combined with the comfortable characteristics of titanium and maintenance-free solutions like the belt drive in the LOOP model, this creates a platform ready for multi-day routes without service support.
Who is the titanium Koloride for?
A titanium bike is a choice for people who have stopped chasing seasonal novelties and started building their ultimate equipment — for their own experiences.
Regardless of whether you are planning dynamic one-day trips, ultramarathons or multi-week tours with panniers, titanium Koloride is designed according to one rule:
one bike, endless experiences.
