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.

For work or casual wear, this polo is a great choice.
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Port Stripe, Size: X-Large
I really like this polo. I've been wearing it once a week or every other week since November. Its very comfortable and breathable. This polo feels like it should last a while. The fit is good. I typcally wear XL and this XL fits great. I've pruchased it in both burgundy and black so far. I definitely recommend this shirt. For work or casual wear, this will look good.

Great value: These are my go-to work from home shirt
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by these shirts and wear them weekly for Zoom calls, since I’m still working from home these days. I figured at the price point it was worth trying them out, and now I’ve bought several in different colors. They aren’t super soft, but they are comfy and look nice. I’m 6’1” ~220 pounds, and the XL slim fit still has plenty of room. I imagine the regular cut is incredibly boxy and oversized. The difference between polyester vs recycled polyester is inconsequential. I typically buy expensive golf shirts, and these definitely aren’t as nice. They are a fraction of the cost though and a great “beater” work shirt / hang out shirt. It’s nice wearing something that looks and feels decent, but if something happens to it, you can toss and it and pick up another for the cost of a chipotle burrito.

Great price, not great quality
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Black, Size: Small
Simple, straight forward all black polo. I am a size medium woman (with some room since I don't like form-fitting) and bought a men's small. Fits perfectly for my frame. Long enough to tuck in for my part-time extra weekend job uniform. Also suitable for the golf course. A little thin, and if you hold it up to light you can sort of see through it. *Not* flowy, soft and smooth fabric like a rash guard/sun shirt - more structured than that. But it's cool and does the job for the price under $10.

Fantastic polo shirt. Size was true to fit. Color is amazing. It’s soft and it has held up through washes since Christmas.
