Reviews

Cory Benson

Bikerumor

...in my book for modern gravel bikes, plenty of key future-proof standards. A T47 threaded bottom bracket, a UDH universal derailleur hanger, flat mount disc brakes, 12mm thru-axles, and a 31.6mm seatpost with internal routing for a dropper.

Frame Details

Nothing Compares to the Timeless Titanium Frame

Steel is real, carbon is light, but titanium is eternal. Our frames, crafted from butted seamless tubes, are made of aerospace-grade 3Al-2.5V titanium alloy.
Thanks to its vibration-damping properties, titanium offers more comfort than steel, yet it’s lighter and doesn’t rust. It boasts the strength of carbon but can withstand rough handling unlike its counterpart. We’ve created a frame that will last you a lifetime.
A frame that adapts to your current conditions and demands.

Fully Internal Cable Routing

Unlike our gravel bikes, where service needs must be considered, Raiden is a pure racing machine and features fully hidden cable routing. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also saves precious watts.
We offer the cockpit in two options: our titanium stem with partially exposed cables for flexible fit adjustments, or we can equip it with the Deda Vinci or Superbox systems for completely hidden routing.

The Benefits of Titanium Without Its Drawbacks

Titanium is an exceptionally durable material that doesn’t corrode, resists mechanical wear, and is extremely comfortable thanks to its vibration-damping properties. However, its potential drawback—excessive flex—has been addressed with a robust hydroformed down tube, a horizontally ovalized top tube, and a finely tuned rear triangle.
Everything is held together by a massive T47 bottom bracket, a seamlessly integrated 3D-printed head tube, and a 3D-printed seat stay junction.
The result is a comfortable road bike that retains its uncompromising racing character.

3D-Printed Parts Where They Make Sense

We 3D print dropouts because they look soo good. The bottom bracket because, the way we’ve designed it, machining it would be impossible. The head tube because it seamlessly connects to the ovalized top tube and shaped down tube. And we also print the seat stay junction for a more elegant transition.

Equator Road Carbon Fork

Raiden comes factory-equipped with the high-quality Equator carbon fork featuring a reflective logo that complements the bike’s design beautifully. We have extensive experience with this model and fully stand by its quality, backed by ultrasonic defectoscopy.

Ovalized Top Tube

Beyond its sleek appearance, the ovalized top tube enhances ride comfort by allowing greater vertical compliance. At the same time, it stabilizes the frame against unwanted lateral flex.

27.2 mm Seatpost

Unlike our gravel bikes, Raiden is compatible with a thinner seatpost, offering optimal comfort in line with the frame’s design.

T47 Bottom Bracket

T47 is an emerging bottom bracket standard originally developed by Chris King. It uses a traditional threaded system, eliminating the unwanted noises often associated with press-fit systems. Thanks to its larger diameter, the entire joint is more durable, reliable, and creates a stronger connection between the frame tubes.
With 3D printing, we’ve managed to separate the cable routing from the bottom bracket while also creating space to insert an AirTag.

Zipp Handlebars or Anything You Choose

Raiden comes with ZIPP Service Course SL 80 Ergonomic handlebars, as we have excellent experience with their shape and quality.
However, since handlebars, like the saddle, are a strictly personal choice, we’ll equip your Raiden with whatever you prefer.

SRAM UDH Hanger

The UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) is a global frame hanger standard from SRAM. This means you can find the hanger in any reputable shop, as it’s not specific to just our brand. It’s easy to replace and, in the event of a chain jam, it will rotate rather than bend.
Thanks to this, the frame is also ready for the new SRAM T-type derailleur mounting standard, although road groupsets have yet to fully embrace it.
Raiden is prepared for the future.

Take a Good Look at It

Although Petr Bureš took stunning photos, the bike is best appreciated in person—and especially when you ride it.
Visit our showroom in Zlín, and we’ll be happy to dedicate time to you, even for several hours. We truly believe you’ll fall in love with the Raiden.
