U.S. Built Custom Bicycles in Titanium and Titanium-Carbon Mix
One of the central challenges of making custom bikes is taking the inherent complexity of each project and simplifying it in a way that the rider can digest the important ideas and participate in the design with us. The same applies to new model or feature releases. The normal arc of that process flows from complex to simple over time.
Our new XX bikes are a prime, recent example.
Initially, we offered XX as an upgrade package that could be applied to SL or SLX frames to make them lighter. It was comprised of a fairly easy-to-understand set of features that shops and riders responded to enthusiastically.
But they were still confused. Should they order the SLX or the XX? What was the difference between and SL with XX upgrade and SLX? Would an SLX with XX upgrade be even lighter? Etc. Etc.
To reduce that confusion we merged the SLX (ultrabutted) bikes with the XX upgrade bikes into a single model (e.g. Axiom XX, Sola XX) that represents the best titanium bike we can build in every category.
With this one model we can deliver maximally compliant models (like the SLX) AND supremely lightweight bikes that retain real performance-oriented stiffness. We do this through careful design of geometry, judicious tubing choices, and advanced butting techniques.
The best Ti road bike we can build, with tubing optimized for you, your body, and how you like to ride. Whether you want to maximize comfort or performance, maximized is what XX is about. Pair it with SRAM's new Force AXS drivetrain for a clean aesthetic and precise ride experience.
Upgrades and substitutions on these bikes are available as part of the normal order process. Ask us during your design interview.
A shockingly light trail bike that's still tough as nails. Sola XX takes the Sola pedigree, a line of bikes ridden in multiple Olympics, and updates it with every trick in our arsenal. The result is today's best possible hardtail.

Seven didn't invent the gravel bike, but few companies have pushed gravel bike technology farther, faster than we have. The Evergreen XX delivers on the XX promise for lightweight, high performance bikes, and the Ultegra drivetrain gives you a super reliable, super accurate buildout for all your gravel adventures.
