Top performance, fantastic comfort, and raw strength - all of which you can expect from our new 22TiTAN. The highly developed titanium frame has been designed to perform and deliver a riding experience unlike any other, whether you’re new to gravel or an experienced rider.
We have refined every detail on the 22TiTAN, and it can be both felt and seen. The geometry of the frame has been tested on the Danish gravel paths and forests to ensure a perfect balance between comfort and performance. At the same time, the design is classic, raw, and eye-catching.
The new 22TiTAN is a bike in a league of its own, delivering a premium performance from top to bottom. 22TiTAN is built and adjusted by our skillful mechanics. Choose between different groupsets, wheelsets, and forks.
As is known from our Gravel Carbon series, it is possible to choose between different groupsets from both SRAM and Shimano. The groupsets are also available as 1-by and 2-by setups with the option of both mechanical and electronic shifting.
Raw titanium, and raw strength
Never compromise
As the name indicates, 22TiTAN is based on our newly developed titanium frame, which has been put through multiple tests on single tracks and gravel roads. This meant that we could create a frame with the perfect balance between comfort and speed, even on the most challenging terrain. On the frame you will find many details such as the minimalistic decal and an engraved Principia "P" on the head tube. We have kept the frame color in raw titanium, which complements and finishes the gravel-look. If you specify your 22TiTAN with a set of carbon wheels, an electronic groupset and a suspension fork, you quite possibly have the coolest looking bike on your local gravel roads.

GROUPSETS
Shimano or SRAM - mechanical or electronic
There is a 22TiTAN for any type of gravel rider. We have designed the frame to be compatible with both mechanical and electronic groupsets. Whether you want a 1-by or 2-by setup, 22TiTAN allows you to make the choice.
FORKS
Rigid or HiRide Suspension
Choose between a full carbon fork as either rigid or with suspension. We have entered a partnership with HiRide Suspension to fulfill 22TiTAN’s absolute potential. The ground-breaking suspension front fork enables the 22TiTAN to handle challenging terrain in an excellent manner. The front fork absorbs on average +46.7% of the vibrations from the ground compared to a standard gravel front fork, which i.a. measures 20 mm. travel. This means increased comfort, increased speed, and more fun. If, on the other hand, you have to ride on a completely smooth tarmac, the front fork is equipped with a hydraulic lock-out.
WHEELSETS
ALUMINIUM OR CARBON
The 22TiTAN can be fitted with either the durable Lite Gravel aluminium wheels or the highly specified OHR Cycling G45 carbon wheels. The G45 wheel has a 24 mm inner rim width providing plenty of room for your gravel tires. At the same time, the rim height of 45 mm ensures fantastic aerodynamics on straight roads. The G45 is equipped with specially designed hubs that ensure years of durability and unmatched performance. The wheelset is handmade in the Netherlands.
Tires
PANARACER GRAVELKING SK
We have fitted 22TiTAN with Panaracer GravelKing SK tires, which are made for speed on even the roughest of terrains. A combination of an aggressive tread, natural rubber compound, and puncture resistance creates the base for a high-quality tire. GravelKing SK has a very strong grip on loose gravel, but the comfort remains. Despite hardcore offroad properties, GravelKing SK handles asphalt easily with minimal tire noise.
