Thomson’s bike products division, long known for their storied seat posts and stems, has now launched a new “Elite” line of Titanium bikes as well!
Thomson will eventually be offering 3 Elite series bikes. For now, the Elite 275 and the Elite 29 are available with the Elite Gravel to follow.
The Elite 275, as the name implies, offers a 27.5″ wheel set. Additionally, it will also offer a Dropper post with a WTB Silverado created for Thomson. Rounding out the 275 are:
Shimano XTR Drivetrain and brakes.
DT Swiss Spline Wheels, set up tubeless.
WTB Tires.
MRP Loop TR 120 Fork. Boulder, CO
Cane Creek 110 Series Zero Stack headset. Asheville, NC
Oury Grip. Imboden, AR
The Elite 29 is a 29″ wheeled single speed that is convertible to geared via a swappable sliding dropout. Industry 9 wheels and Thomson drive components round out the Elite 29.
The Elite Gravel will feature a Thomson Pave seat post and is said to be road-suited.
Given Thomson’s reputation with components, you have to imagine the new Titanium frames are going to be tough as nails!
*UPDATE: The Elite 275 lists at $6799.
