Merit Sterk Ti 1.1 E1 XPLR AXS titanium gravel bike

If you want comfortable gravel, go to titanium! Our newly developed bike combines the elegance of round tubes, hidden internal cable routing, a great combination of materials and high-quality modern fittings. 

Material
By combining 6AL-4V and 3AL-2.5V titanium, we have succeeded in producing an indestructible gravel with optimal stiffness of the main parts and a fair weight.

Internal cable routing
The wiring runs completely inside the frame. It looks great while keeping everything covered from bouncing rocks. Everything comes out of the frame under the stem, so the bike can also be reasonably serviced and perhaps a suspension stem can be used.

Bottom bracket
We chose the T47. The massive threaded bottom bracket transmits forces well and doesn't cause problems.

Solid axles
No need to mention that here :)

Head tube
A simple round tube with large 52mm bearings top and bottom. An elegant and functional solution for internal routing.

Chain stays
We used the shortest chainstay that can be made without bending the tubes, so as not to compromise the look of the bike or the distribution of forces in the frame.

Bolts for perches and accessories
There are no unnecessary bolts on the frame for racks and fenders. Just for the bidons and one pannier on the top frame. 
(If you want a quality fender, use an AssSavers Winwing and a Gravelhugger up front)
