The RAAVE is CYKL's sporty titanium gravel bike, designed for fast riding on trails with precise and aggressive handling. Available as a frame kit with titanium fork, it is a consistent and robust full titanium platform, designed for performance-oriented gravel builds. All CYKL titanium frames and components come with a lifetime warranty.
CYKL RAAVE Titanium Gravel Frameset - Titanium Fork
This "Full Titanium" version of the RAAVE is a marvel: it marries the offensive geometry and stiff chainstays of a race bike with the organic damping of a titanium fork. It is the choice of ultra-cyclists seeking the RAAVE's efficiency but wanting absolute reliability and superior filtration for long-haul events. The secret weapon? The titanium fork is stiffer than the carbon fork, offering more precise braking. A formidable advantage in racing.
The rear triangle with 3D-printed chainstays ensures power transfer, while the titanium fork brings a steering "smoothness" that carbon cannot equal. The result is a responsive, indestructible bike, capable of crossing continents without fearing impacts during transport.
Key Points
The best of both worlds: The lateral stiffness of the "Race" rear triangle (3D Chainstays) combined with the vertical compliance of the titanium front end.
Organic damping: The titanium fork dissipates high-frequency vibrations far better than a rigid carbon fork, reducing arm fatigue over extreme distances.
Total durability: A setup immune to scratches, stone impacts, and travel stresses (plane, train, loading).
Race Geometry: We retain the RAAVE's aggressive Stack/Reach ratio for an aerodynamic position, even if the overall behavior is slightly softened by the fork.
Aesthetic coherence: The timeless elegance of brushed titanium from end to end.
Compatibility
The RAAVE maintains its high-performance standards: T47 bottom bracket (68mm) for stiffness, UDH hanger for total compatibility (SRAM Transmission T-Type, Shimano GRX, etc.), and Flat Mount braking. Cable routing is fully internal.
