WHY?
The LYCOS is the answer for those looking for a tough, singletrack-worthy gravel bike that absolutely rips on dirt, but still excels on pavement. The Alchemy premium carbon frame is laterally stiff and snappy, with an extra tough layup that's insanely light. The gravel specific geo will have you comfortable and smiling after hours in the backcountry or on hardpack. Our custom carbon layup will outlast and outperform vs other single-mold monocoque frames, with a ride that is both faster and more comfortable.
HOW?
The LYCOS adds dramatically increased off-road capability, thanks to a slacker head tube angle, super-wide tire clearance, and updated geometry that's highly effective at absorbing chatter and bumps. The new LYCOS yearns to take you further afield, where gravel roads become doubletrack and even semi-technical singletrack. Bonus features like beautiful paintjobs, extra braze-ons, and SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger promise added versatility, range and durability.
