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.

Great size for tiny dogs!
Color: Skull With Spiders, Color: Skull With Spiders
We got this for our grand-dog, a tiny Havanese! It's a great size for her. It was challenging to find things she could carry around with her tiny mouth when she was a puppy and we liked the added bonus of her pulling them out of the skull. Another activity in her day.... It was the perfect seasonal item to add to the toy box. It's her favorite thing to carry around. The squeakers are still going strong. It got a little crusty after she played with them for a while, but they washed great! Still holding up! Would recommend.

My little dog's favorite toy
Color: Skull With Spiders
These spiders are small and not for big dogs. But my little one loves them so much and it is hard to find good durable toys small enough for her. I love these spiders so much I wish I could buy just the spiders. the ones they sell alone are too big for her. If some one from the company could help a sister out on how to buy the spiders without the skull I would be for ever grateful.

Small, below-average hide and seek-toy
Color: Skull With Spiders
This toy is not as large nor as well-made as the 6 other hide and seek-toys our dog has. The small size of the skull makes the dog disinterested in it. For the size, the price should be half what it is.
