Lisa’s been a gravel and MTB ambassador with us for years, always giving us room to make some creative colorways for her builds. She asked us to really bring some wild anodizing colors into this Yaupon Titanium Dropbar bike which she is using for long distance gravel and endurance events/rides.
In addition to Lvl4 Ti-Dye Anodized graphics we also added custom details at the seatstays, top tube and head tube!
Her build features in-house pro build custom Chris King hubs laced to ENVE M525 Carbon rims, and AXS Force/XO1 mullet wireless drivetrain and a 120mm Fox Factory SC fork. Shallow drop bars from Ritchey, the Beacon’s, make for great ergonomics in the drops for offroad handling and a stable platform. The short 40mm A318 Industry Nine stem makes changes through travel feel really natural whether in the drops or the hoods. Key to the Yaupon’s ability to run both dropbars and suspension forks is a geometry laid out for fitment with a short stem/wider bar.
