Mule Rohloff Frame

Designed as a bike packing frame capable of carrying all the gear you need for an extended adventure, the Mule is still a very agile bike. Sharing much of the geometry of the Pilgrim frame the Mule is our 27.5 model designed to be used with the drover rigid fork, using either a Rohloff hub gear or derailleur With enough room for 2.6 tyres, things are kept light at the front end, but still giving a smooth enough ride to keep you moving all day long. With the option to add custom racks front and rear the Mule will carry your kit how and where you like it. Each Mule frame is truly bespoke. The process starts with a bike fit and discussion as to the sort adventures you have in mind. Sizing and geometry are then tweaked to give you a bike that is moulded to fit you, as opposed to a bike that you adapt to. Fillet brazed tubing is a mixture of Reynolds 853 and Columbus Zona.

The  extremely tough ceramic coating will keep your frame looking great for years to come.
