Presentation
The RAAVE 2025 frameset is for demanding cyclists looking for pure performance-oriented gravel. Designed for sportive rides, gravel racing, and long, fast-paced distances, this grade 9 titanium frame incorporates exclusive innovations developed in-house. Intended for riders who want to switch from carbon to titanium without compromising on performance, or titanium purists seeking technical excellence. The RAAVE 2025 excels on the road, fast trails, gravel racing, and lightweight bikepacking thanks to its redesigned geometry and revolutionary technical innovations.
Exclusive technical advantages
3D Printed Rear Base: Exclusive technological innovation that brings 15% additional rigidity to the transmission while reducing the weight by 80g compared to the 2024 version. This CYKL revolution optimizes power transfer on all terrains.
Slimmer, bridgeless seatstays: Redesigned architecture improves vibration filtration by 25% over long distances. The thinner seatstays eliminate unwanted resonances for unmatched comfort, even on the most demanding trails.
Optimized curved seat tube: Exclusive geometry allows the use of tires up to 700x50 without compromising frame stiffness. This major development opens up new horizons of use, from gravel racing to bikepacking adventures.
CNC-machined yoke: As with all our high-end frames, the rear yoke is CNC-machined from solid for optimal rigidity and precision. No welding in this critical area.
Revised geometry for 2025: Redesigned Stack/Reach for a more aggressive stance and more precise handling. Optimized wheelbase for high-speed stability while maintaining agility in technical terrain.
Minimalist, race-oriented approach: Only 4 attachment points (2 on the seat tube, 2 on the down tube) save weight and specialize the RAAVE towards pure performance. Fork variants with eyelets are available for specific needs.
Compatibility and scalability
The RAAVE 2025 incorporates all modern CYKL standards: T47 bottom bracket, UDH dropouts, integrated headset and internal routing. Compatible with all electronic and mechanical groupsets on the market. Available with carbon or titanium fork according to your preferences.

CYKL Team Council
“The RAAVE 2025 represents 1 year of intensive R&D. This 3D-printed rear chainstay is a real game-changer: we gain stiffness without losing the legendary comfort of titanium. It’s the perfect frame for riders who want a no-compromise gravel racer. The choice to reduce the attachment points was strategic: every gram counts on a performance-oriented bike.”
