Reilly Cycleworks has lifted the curtains on its latest titanium gravel bike called the Reflex, touting full integration and the British brand’s sleek investment cast aero shaping.
“The Reflex is fully integrated, with internal frame routing for brake hoses, Di2 cables, dynamo cabling for front and rear lights and a hydraulic dropper seat post via the T47 bottom bracket shell. This integration not only enhances the Reflex’s clean lines, but protects hoses and cables, and offers a clutter-free cockpit and maximum hanging space for bikepacking kit,” boasts Reilly Cycleworks.
Clearance also played an important role when developing the Reflex, which can accommodate tires up a hefty 700c x 55mm, giving it plenty of rubber to take on virtually any off-road pursuit.
Additionally, the Reflex’s 6AL-4V Ti headtube is compatible with FSA ACR and Deda DCR bar / stem options, which can be fitted with a short-travel suspension forks for hardcore off-road use.
“With the Reflex,” says Reilly co-founder Neil FitzGerald, “we wanted to meld the responsive handling and comfort of the Gradient with the speed and agility of the Fusion to create a fresh-looking titanium gravel race winner. This weekend we’re presenting our initial prototype, but we’re thrilled with the result.”
“With its chunky tires, striking investment cast lines and integrated simplicity, bundled with Reilly’s lifetime warranty on the frameset, the Reflex is a guaranteed head-turner and a solid investment in your gravel riding future,” FitzGerald adds.
All in, Reilly Cycleworks says a fully-loaded Reflex with dynamo lights and a dropper seatpost tips the scales at under 22 pounds (10kg), but a more minimal “race build” should weigh in at under 19 pounds (8.5kg).
Pricing for the Reflex frameset starts at £7,149.00, with a number of full-builds to be offered.
