Truckee, California’s BlackHeart Cycle Co has released its latest titanium offering. The new Gravel Ti takes its DNA from Blackheart’s Road Ti and Gravel AL, blended together to make a modern gravel bike with the timeless aesthetics of titanium.
The new Gravel Ti is fabricated using 3/2.5 double-butted titanium tubing. It sports elegantly curved seat stays designed to smooth out the ride. A Kammtail downtube with a tapered, ovalized top tube, and internal routing, makes for a super clean look.
The Gravel Ti is ready for a 1x or 2x drivetrain using electronic drivetrains and 1x only for mechanical drivetrains.
The frame comes with a UDH rear derailleur hanger, a T47 bottom bracket, and a round 31.6mm seat post, to maximize parts options.
The frameset will come with an ENVE In-route Gravel carbon fork, along with an FSA ACR headset. This gives the customer the option to select a standard non-integrated stem and bar combo. Or they can upgrade to the BlackHeart one-piece carbon bar/stem, or ENVE in-route headset and bar/stem combo to match the fork.
Titanium will never rust or corrode making it a “lifetime” frame material. Furthermore, it’s also highly recyclable, if that time ever comes.
According to BlackHeart, these frames are manufactured in a “premiere Asian titanium factory” and carry a lifetime warranty for the original owner against manufacturing defects.
