A gravel bike has to be something you can count on, whether you’re out on rough tracks or smooth backroads. That’s why we build our frames from titanium. It won’t rust, it doesn’t wear out easily, and it keeps its comfortable feel no matter how many miles you put on it.
Because we’re confident in the way our frames are made, every PILOT titanium gravel frames comes with a 25-year guarantee. It’s our way of saying that a bike should be something you can trust for the long haul, not something you replace every few seasons. With a titanium gravel bike from PILOT, you’re investing in a frame that’s built to stay with you for decades of riding.
An all enduring gravel bike with electronic shifting has been a lifelong dream of many riders and the Pilot team alike. Now the time has finally come to step into the future of gravel cycling with the Scram Pinion Smart.Shift.
The Carmenta is our lightest and fastest gravel bike ever. Born from competition, built for performance. With an aggressive geometry, stiff frame, and optimal control, the Carmenta is made for speed on any terrain. From gravel races to long rides on rough roads – this bike won’t be held back.

The latest addition to our Pilot clan! The Scram Classified is the first titanium gravel bike equipped with a Classified shifting system. Pilot Cycles and Classified Cycling have joined forces by creating a bike that has a single chainring set-up, but has all the benefits of a double chainring set-up.
Now you can eat your bowl of gravel with a side of cappuccino. Because our beloved SCRAM is now available with the next-generation 1x13 gravel drivetrain: Ekar by Campagnolo! The Scram frame, equipped with the feather light Ekar group set is one of the lightest titanium gravel bikes that is out there.
The SCRAM is designed for the titans that eat a bowl of gravel for breakfast. We have tried to offer you the best of both worlds by creating a gravel bike that is as fast as a racer and as agile as a MTB. Pieter van der Marel, designer of the SCRAM, has spared no expense in showing off the elegant titanium look. All brake and shifter cables are nicely concealed and run internally through the frame. Another striking point of this gravel racer are the wishbone seat stays. This not only gives a unique appearance, but also brings more stability to the rear part of the bike.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TITANIUM GRAVEL BIKES?
If you’re wondering why titanium gravel bikes have such a good reputation, this FAQ covers the essentials. Titanium holds up incredibly well and has a smooth, steady feel on rough or mixed terrain. Whether you’re riding long gravel stretches, quiet roads, or the odd trail, a titanium frame keeps the ride comfortable and dependable without making a fuss.
What makes a titanium gravel bike better than aluminum or carbon?
Titanium sits in a sweet spot. It has the smooth, forgiving feel you get from steel, but without the extra weight. It also doesn’t rust, and it doesn’t wear out the way aluminum and carbon eventually can. The result is a frame that stays strong for decades. Many riders like titanium because it feels calm and steady on rough surfaces, yet still lively enough for long rides.
What is the advantage of a Pinion gearbox on a titan gravel bike?
A Pinion gearbox keeps all the gears sealed inside the frame, which means far less upkeep and reliable shifting in any weather. You get a wide, evenly spaced gear range, and it shifts cleanly—even when you’re not moving. When paired with a Gates belt, the setup runs quietly and stays clean, making it a great option for riders who just want to get on the bike and go without fuss.
Are titanium gravel bikes suitable for long-distance bikepacking?
Yes. Titanium handles weight and rough terrain really well, and its smooth ride makes long days more comfortable. It’s a material that’s built for multi-day trips.
Are titan gravel bikes stiff enough for efficient power transfer?
They are. Good titanium frames strike a nice balance: stiff enough for solid power transfer, but still comfortable over long distances.
How does titanium perform on rough gravel compared to other materials?
Titanium takes the sting out of bumps and vibrations. On rough or washboard gravel, it generally feels a bit smoother and less tiring than many other frame materials.
Is a titanium gravel bike worth the investment?
If you want a bike that stays comfortable, won’t wear out quickly, and feels good on mixed terrain, titanium is a strong choice. It’s something you can keep riding for many years without worrying about it.
