Today we launch the Cotic Tonic, our titanium gravel bike. Ever since we launched the Escapade back in 2014 we have had requests for a ti version. Well, wait no longer! Using the same proven geometry as the Escapade, but rendered in gorgeous polished 3Al/2.5V butted titanium, the Tonic really is our drop bar dream bike.

The Tonic is based on the Escapade, which has been a gravel bike since before there were gravel bikes. Our drop bar bikes have always had big clearances and discs, but we think that works just as well on road as off it. Sure you can speed it up on something like a 700x28c, but we supply the bikes with big volume 37c slicks. They roll really fast, but float over the potholes in the road and bumps in the trail. With the improved clearance provided by the latest Wide Chainline gravel cranks, you can run up to 700x44 or 650x50 Road Plus.

The frame weighs just 1,647 grams, which saves over 600 grams compared to the Escapade.

We have just 32 of these, and they're the only Tonics we are getting in 2021. The framesets are in stock right now for £2,199 including a Hope seatclamp and UK delivery.

At time of writing, the frames and forks are in stock. and if you want a frameset, we can ship this week.
