Titanium Gravel & Allroad Bikes
A HILITE titanium gravel or allroad bike is planned for the surfaces, distances and luggage it will actually carry. Geometry, tyre clearance, drivetrain, mounting points and riding position form one system—from a fast allroad bike to a robust bikepacking build.
Gravel or allroad: where is the difference?
An allroad build stays close to a road bike but adds comfort, wider tyres and confidence on unpaved sections. A gravel build usually provides more tyre clearance, more mounting options and calmer handling on rough ground. HILITE adjusts the balance to the rider instead of forcing every use into one category.
Drivetrain options
- Derailleur: low weight, direct shifting and a broad choice of components.
- Pinion: a centrally mounted, enclosed gearbox for gravel, bikepacking and mixed terrain.
- Rohloff: 14 evenly spaced hub gears for everyday use, touring and demanding allroad builds.
- Gates belt: a clean, quiet option with compatible Pinion or Rohloff configurations.

Frequently considered questions
How much tyre clearance is useful?
That depends on the surfaces, mud clearance, wheel format and whether mudguards are planned. HILITE defines the clearance with the complete use case.
Do I need a custom frame?
A standard HILITE geometry is suitable when body dimensions, position and technical requirements fit the model. A custom frame becomes useful when geometry, load, handling or equipment require an individual solution.
