Terlingua SL Titanium Gravel Bike
The Terlingua Titanium SL is our race focused titanium gravel/all-road bike. The frame features the highest caliber of titanium tubing materials and a custom S-bend rear triangle with double butted oval chainstays and a threaded T47 bottom bracket. It can be configured with 1x or 2x, electronic or mechanical drivetrains, or set up singlespeed.
Compared to our other Terlingua models the SL geometry trends towards a more aggressive geo create a responsive race focused geometry. Spirited group ride? Gravel race? That’s what we are after here. Our handmade titanium 3/2.5 tubing frame is a smooth ride. A little comfort equals more endurance on race day. Compliance in the frame keeps you connected to the terrain letting you track through rough corners and descents. Oval chainstays transfer more power through the drivetrain.
We’ve maximized compatibility with tires up to 700x50 and 1x and 2x cranksets. Our sliding dropouts offer a solid platform for adapting your ride feel whether geared or set up singlespeed.

The Terlingua titanium is designed to perform on long endurance gravel rides and races across varied terrain.
Reach, head tube and seat tube angles place the rider in an effective position to attack climbs and sprint.
The titanium tube-set is tuned for weight savings and responsiveness that accelerates fast with stable handling both climbing and descending.
Compared to our steel Terlingua the Titanium frame has similar dampening capabilities, but returns to its original position faster resulting in a responsive feel.
This balance of strength and suppleness paired to the Terlingua’s geometry is designed track through rough gravel grinding conditions.
Size specific geometry changes and bottom bracket heights fine tune the balance point for cornering to maximize fit performance.
