The RAAVE is CYKL's racy titanium gravel bike, designed for fast riding on trails with precise and aggressive handling. Available as a frameset with a carbon fork, it offers a modern and widely compatible platform for designing a custom titanium gravel bike that perfectly suits your riding style and performance requirements. All CYKL titanium frames and components come with a lifetime warranty.
The RAAVE frameset is the definition of race gravel at CYKL. Designed for speed and offense, it trades passive comfort for torsional stiffness and immediate responsiveness. It is a platform cut for performance, hard accelerations, and fast gravel.
In this configuration with a carbon fork, the RAAVE optimizes its weight and front-end precision. The marriage of Grade 9 titanium and carbon stiffness offers incisive handling, ideal for placing the bike with millimeter precision in technical lines or maintaining a high average speed over time.
Key Points
Race Design: An aggressive Stack/Reach ratio that favors an aerodynamic position and pedaling efficiency.
3D Printed Chainstays: The use of 3D-printed junctions on the rear triangle allows for shorter chainstays (420-425mm) while increasing lateral stiffness by 15% for direct power transfer.
Incisive Front End: The 385mm carbon fork lowers the center of gravity and livens up the steering compared to standard gravel geometry.
Bridgeless Seatstays: A clean architecture allowing slight vertical flex (+25% compliance) to preserve the rider without sacrificing efficiency.
Compatibility
The RAAVE integrates current performance standards: T47 bottom bracket for crank stiffness, UDH hanger for derailleur universality (including SRAM T-Type), and Flat Mount braking. Cable routing is fully internal for a clean line.
This frame is specifically designed for a 385mm fork height. The kit includes a carbon fork respecting these dimensions to guarantee the bike's liveliness. Doubt about your component compatibility? Contact us to validate your build.
