The ultimate versatility monster built for borderless adventure. Between aggressive gravel and MTB, the AARNY offers total titanium freedom and XXL traction to turn every trail, no matter how technical, into your playground.
CYKL AARNY Titanium Monster Gravel Frameset - Carbon Fork
Forget the textbook definition of gravel. The AARNY isn't made for smooth fire roads; it is designed to crush singletrack. It is the missing link between aggressive gravel and a hardtail MTB. This is a radical, playful titanium machine, built for the thrill of underbiking—riding drop bars on lines where others bring full-suspension rigs. It connects you directly to the trail with a raw sense of freedom.
In this version with a rigid carbon fork (490mm), the AARNY is a surgical weapon. It combines the snap of a cyclocross bike with the rollover capability of a mountain bike. It is the ideal configuration for fast flowy trails, technical challenges, and committed bikepacking where weight is the enemy. And if the terrain gets too hostile? The geometry is "Suspension Ready" to welcome a 100-120mm fork.
Key Points
Singletrack Geometry: With a slack head angle (69°), a low bottom bracket, and an extended reach, the AARNY is piloted with body language. It remains stable in steep chutes and playful in tight corners.
Pure MTB Standards (Boost): No "hybrid" compromises. Boost axles (15x110mm / 12x148mm) ensure maximum wheel stiffness, and native Post Mount 180mm braking provides the stopping power needed to halt a loaded bike on steep technical descents.
29" x 2.4 Clearance: Mount real MTB tires (up to 700x65C). The massive air volume offers the grip and passive suspension needed to ride without a rear shock while maintaining insane traction.
Evolutionary DNA: Rigid and light today with its carbon fork, Hardtail tomorrow with a suspension fork. The frame is engineered to accept both without ruining the geometry.
Dropper Post Compatible: The 31.6mm seat tube with internal routing is an explicit invitation to install a dropper post and attack the descents with confidence.
Compatibility
The AARNY is a mechanical chameleon. It excels with "Mullet" drivetrains (Gravel shifters + MTB Eagle/T-Type derailleur) to combine drop-bar ergonomics with a massive MTB gear range (10-52T). It accepts both single and double chainring setups.
Integration is total (internal routing) yet rational (Threaded T47 BB). Bikepacking mounts are present but discreet, preserving the clean lines of the titanium.
