All Gravel Titanium / SRAM Apex AXS (GX Mullet) / DT Swiss Wheelset

The Gloria All Gravel Titanium / SRAM Apex AXS (GX Mullet) / DT Swiss Wheelset is a handcrafted, multi-terrain explorer designed to blend the timeless aesthetic and damped ride quality of custom-butted 3Al/2.5V Grade 9 titanium with modern off-road capability. Engineered with a progressive 71-degree head angle, generous stack figures, and a forgiving geometry, the frame absorbs high-frequency trail chatter to keep fatigue at bay on multi-day endurance rides. Clean welds, an industrial sandblasted finish, a universal derailleur hanger (UDH), and full rack and fender mounts make it as practical as it is striking.

The highlight of this build is its ultra-versatile "mullet" drivetrain, pairing electronic SRAM Apex AXS road shifters with a heavy-duty SRAM GX Eagle AXS rear derailleur and a massive 10-52T cassette. Combined with a bulletproof DT Swiss gravel wheelset and cavernous tire clearance for up to 700x53mm (2.1") rubber, this bike is built to conquer anything from fast fire-road epics to steep, technical singletrack and fully loaded bikepacking ultras.

Key Highlights

• Custom 3Al/2.5V Titanium Frame: Heat-treated and custom-butted tubing provides that coveted "titanium spring" feel. It neutralizes high-frequency vibrations from washboard gravel roads while remaining impervious to rust and trail impact damage.

• Wireless "Mullet" Drivetrain: Combining Apex AXS brake-shifter hoods with a GX Eagle AXS rear mech gives you crisp electronic button-shifting paired with a wall-climbing 520% gear range (10-52T).

• DT Swiss Gravel Durability: Known for robust star-ratchet engagement and bomber rim builds, the DT Swiss wheels provide high lateral stiffness under load and effortless tubeless setup for running low tire pressures.

• Massive 2.1" Tire Clearance: While rolling stock comes in versatile 45c rubber, the rear stays and front fork accommodate up to 2.1-inch (53mm) 29er tires, effectively turning this into a rigid drop-bar mountain bike for rough singletrack.

• Modern Standardization & UDH: Featuring a standard threaded BSA bottom bracket, 31.6mm dropper post routing, and a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH), finding replacement parts on remote long-distance tours is hassle-free.
