Splitfire:
Everything Bigger

The Splitfire is a titanium gravel bike built for riders who want more room, more speed, and more versatility from one frame. With clearance for up to 700 x 57mm tires, short 419mm chainstays, UDH compatibility, and clearance for oversized chainrings, Splitfire blends backcountry capability with fast-gravel efficiency.

57mm Maximum listed 700c tire clearance for rough gravel, mixed terrain, and adventure setups.
419mm Short chainstays keep the bike lively and responsive despite the massive tire clearance.
45/50 Adjustable fork offset options allow riders to tune trail and steering feel.
Tire Clearance

700 x 57mm or 29 x 2.25 capability.

Splitfire was created for riders who want the freedom to run big, confidence-inspiring tires without giving up the speed and fit of a performance gravel bike. Larger tires add comfort, traction, and stability on rough roads, loose gravel, and long backcountry routes.

More Traction A larger contact patch improves grip on loose, wet, and uneven surfaces.
More Comfort Higher tire volume allows lower pressure and helps reduce fatigue on long rides.
More Control Big tires add stability when descending, cornering, and riding loaded.
More Versatility Run fast gravel tires, monster-cross tires, or bikepacking-ready setups.
Why Splitfire Exists

Short stays. Big tires. Big chainrings.

The elevated driveside chainstay gives the Splitfire its defining advantage: room for large tires and large chainrings while keeping the rear end compact. That combination makes it equally at home on fast gravel rides, rough mixed-surface routes, and road-wheel swaps.

Elevated Chainstay

The driveside E-stay opens space at the tire and chainring junction, allowing a rare mix of tire volume, gearing clearance, and short chainstay handling.

UDH Compatible

A modern universal derailleur hanger platform simplifies replacement, improves drivetrain compatibility, and keeps the frame ready for current and future drivetrain standards.

T47 Threaded BB

The T47 threaded bottom bracket combines the serviceability of a threaded system with a larger shell diameter for stiffness, alignment, bearing support, and easy maintenance.

Geometry

Progressive gravel fit with tunable handling.

Splitfire geometry is designed around stability at speed, responsive acceleration, and multiple tire configurations. The result is a titanium gravel platform that can be built for fast mixed-surface riding, rough gravel, or long-distance adventure use.

Not indestructible, but the best I’ve found
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable, Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
This thing is unexpectedly heavy for its size. My 18 month old Giant Schnauzer is obsessed with fetch but destroys every ball she gets. The other brands marketed for extreme chewers tend to last about a day or two before they’re totally shredded. She’s had this one for about 2 weeks and it’s looking rough, but still holding together for the most part. I appreciate that as it comes apart it does so in little pieces rather than large chunks. While it’s far from indestructible, it’s the strongest I’ve found so far.

Great product!
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
Great product! Quickly became my Pit Princess's favorite toy! The size, weight, and material is perfect for a big dog. Now we have fetch ball that has proven itself to be worthy!

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!
