RAAVE 2025 – Gravel riding in attack mode

For 2025, the RAAVE evolves: its new 3D-printed rear triangle offers unprecedented lateral stiffness, ensuring every watt is transferred to the rear wheel. You pedal, it takes off. The innovation doesn't stop there: the elimination of the bridge at the seat stays allows for 5 to 10 mm of vertical flex, absorbing vibrations without ever sacrificing responsiveness. You get the best of both worlds: formidable efficiency and dynamic comfort.

With its curved seat tube , the RAAVE 2025 opens up new possibilities by accepting tires up to 700x47c , offering increased versatility for the most demanding terrain. Its compact geometry puts you in a controlled, sporty position: perfect for pushing hard without ending up hunched over. It excels in ultra-distance races like BikingMan, the Race Across Series, or any other adventure where performance counts as much as endurance. In competition, it takes no prisoners. You'll reach your limits long before the RAAVE's (but you can always try!).

Titanium, an exceptional material

Thanks to modern processes (hydroforming, CNC machining, 3D printing, forging), titanium now offers an excellent weight-to-stiffness ratio without sacrificing comfort. We use an aerospace-grade Ti-3Al-2.5V alloy (Grade 9) for the tubes and 6Al-4V in critical areas.

The result: a lightweight, highly dynamic and extremely durable frame, impervious to corrosion and UV rays, guaranteed for life and repairable via our network of titanium frame builders in France .

With these advances, titanium is rapidly closing the gap with carbon and shaking up its status as the benchmark for ultra-lightweight materials, while offering significantly greater durability and comfort.

A gravel bike designed to win

Designed for racing and long distances, the RAAVE 2025 embodies the perfect blend of power, comfort, and durability. Its new 3D-printed rear triangle provides exceptional lateral stiffness: every watt is transferred to the wheel. The eliminated bridge on the seat stays allows for 5 to 10 mm of vertical flex, absorbing vibrations without compromising responsiveness. Its curved seat tube now accommodates tires up to 700x47c , opening the door to unprecedented versatility.

Fast today, fast in 10 years

The RAAVE is built to last without ever losing its responsiveness. Where a carbon frame wears out season after season—fibers fatigue, stiffness erodes, forgiveness disappears—titanium remains true to its original character. Kilometer after kilometer, it maintains the same precision, the same acceleration, the same eagerness to compete. It's a bike that ages well, like a tool that's refined through use, not replaced. A bike built for racing, but designed to last for decades.

Leave your mark

Do you love raw titanium? Perfect, its beauty speaks for itself. But if you like to think outside the box, why not try anodizing? Each finish is handcrafted in our workshop: unique, vibrant, and true to your style.

Between anodizing and laser engraving, no two CYKL bikes are alike. Each one tells its own story… and why not yours?
