[Music] We’ve landed in Dresden where Bespoke has taken over the whole airport. We’ve got aluminium full suspension bikes. We’ve got titanium full suspension bikes. We’ve got carbon 32s and much much more. [Music] Actto [Music] 5 are an innovative German brand and they’re actually from 10 minutes away from where we are here in the airport in Dresden and they’ve got some amazing bikes. Yeah, you’ve got a trail bike here that’s well a default sort of mountain bike setting. But what’s really special and it’s not just the color is this XC build 120 mil of travel front and rear. And this purple hopefully it comes through in technic color to you on your phone or on your computer. It is incredible. A beautiful deep plum. The frame is as you’d expect from Actto 5. So we’ve got a two-piece aluminium frame construction that’s then bonded together. Really unique, really special one piece link. We’ve also got a flip chip down here that’s adjustable and then the chain stays are adjustable as well. It is beautiful. Really incredible stuff. Some booths are a little bit more relaxed than others, but it doesn’t mean that their bikes are no less serious. This is an award-winning mountain bike, actually from Bespoked in Manchester. Still worth a look, though, isn’t it? We’ve got beautiful Philip Ray details that have been finely finished. We’ve got a single pivot with a link activated shock. And well, actually, the back end has got a flex day. There’s a lot going on there beling its simple looks. Lots of brzons for bottles and bags and lots of mounts, including this rather nice front rack ensemble. You might be wondering where’s the bag? Probably on an adventure somewhere. But if you’ve got a sleep roll or something like that, that’ll stop it crashing into the cables nicely. And it’s actually got a dusting of red underneath the clear coat. Lovely. Here’s a rad adventure bike from Don Sebastiano with loads of fun. It’s got a mid drive motor. It’s got little wheels. It’s got a wonderful linkage fork and it’s got full suspension. Lots of innovation for a fun bike. What do you think? Very interesting bike. Aluminium full suspension, but there’s a lot going on. We’ve got a rising pivot. So, we’ve got a high pivot here, but it’s actually on a sliding rail. Really fascinating stuff. And that means that whilst it’s got 160 mil of vertical travel, actually the rear wheel axle path is moving back around 45 mil. That’s around double everybody else’s, how this bike will track is going to be really impressive cuz all that rear wheel traction. On the other side, there’s lots of pivots for the chain. And that means that they can tune and balance how the high pivot works all the way through that sliding rail suspension. Clever stuff. Really fun bike here from Ralph. She’s part of the Stram Scholarship where Stram sponsor some of the builders to build bikes for the show. This one isn’t quite Strammed up, but it’s still a really fun bike. Got twin top tubes which morph into the seat stays. Then we’ve got this wonderful fork with, well, lots of legs. The logic is that it can be flexible in some ways, so it gives you a really comfy ride. Offer lots of tire clearance, a low stack height, but then also be stiff in the right directions. And we’ve got all important lots of bosses here for extra load. One extra thing on this bike. It’s really good to see a head tube designed with porpers. Bespoked is amazing because around every corner, there’s more amazing bikes like the one just here. It’s made to measure, made in Italy. It’s a custom full carbon soft tail. Wow. full suspension racer. It’s impressive. We’ve got Zerbal shifters on there as well. Loads of trick little details. Impressive machine. Alute German brand. We feature them actually at Eurobike, but they’re here at Bespoke because, well, they hand make them. And they’ve got a one-off special of a bike here. This one is a one-off. It was made of two CNCed halves which they’ve welded together, but you can’t tell. It’s been polished and machined to well, just perfection. Also interesting is we’ve got number one editions of the intend shock, the intend fork, and the intend brakes. A very special bike. Curve bikes are out of Australia and they do a lot of really amazing gravel bikes, but got some new things that should get man bikers excited. This is the GMX Plus, which is their well plusish big fat tire bike designed originally with big drop bars, but goes well with big flat bars. Lots of attention to detail. We’ve got loads of accessory mounts, lots of adjustment, and with the dropouts, there’s a lot going on. There’s different dropouts for boost, non-boost, type, regular, there’s a rolloff version. Sure, there’s probably a single speed. There’s flat mount and post mount. Loads of great options. Maybe I’m biased, but of all the bikes I’ve seen so far, I think this one is my favorite. [Music] Very interesting bike. This is very new, still sort of in prototype form. It’s an EMTB, but with a very fresh approach. This is a shovel. We’ve got a midish highish pivot. We’ve got lots of chain control there just to keep it nice and quiet. We’ve got a moto inspired front end. And well, you can see the battery and that’s actually on purpose because the battery is external. You can easily get to it. You can easily change it. The motor again, there’s lots of space around it. And there’s a lot of modularity and future proofing. So, it means that yeah, at the moment it’s got a Bosch motor, but you might be able to put something else in the future if there’s something improved. It’s a really fresh approach to an ebike. At the moment it’s 1701 170s at a big and burly bike, hence these really gnarly tires, these shredders. Lovely Schwelby tire. I think Jonesy likes them. But yeah, really interesting thing. It’ll be interesting to see how it develops. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments. We’re on the Tail fin booth and they’ve got a really interesting adventure mountain bike. This is an Allen Nucus. It’s a brand I’ve not heard of before, but it’s got loads of wonderful 3D printed sections just at key points. So in the bottom bracket around here, it’s actually the kind of lug between the chain stays and the bottom bracket and then up by this seat clamp and seat stay ensemble. So designed for ultra racing. So it’s designed to have bags on it. It’s designed around a shorter travel suspension fork or a rigid fork. And yeah, it looks like a really good go far mountain bike. Fun beast. Out of this world build here from UFO Labs. I’d never heard of them, but it’s actually someone from Stram, which is why it’s dripping in a wonderful 1987 group set. Really fun single pivot with a link activated shock. And the link is really nice and detailed. A fun downount bike. Or is that just cross country? Let me know in the comments. Bike ahead composites are famous for lots of composite parts. This year, they’ve already released their frame, a sub 800 g mountain bike frame that’s tested to really high standards. One of the lightest on the market. It’s really impressive. And just here they’re going to the next level because they’re experimenting with well 32s. That’s why it looks so vast above me. This isn’t the normal frame. These aren’t 29iners. No, no. You’ve got here the new Maxis Aspen in a 32 tour. There’s rumors of more tires coming out and Bike ahead composites are already there. They’ve got these amazing spoked wheels which they do in 29iner. They’ve got them here in 32 and they’ve also got rims available. I just can’t get over how big they are and how far away this rear mech is from the ground. 32s, they’re big. Amazing cargo bike by Sentient. And we’ve also got a full suspension one, too, because why not? Zoelli bikes we’ve featured on the tech show before. And actually, this model in particular we featured because it’s got well a clever drivetrain. Have a look at that. Lots of clever building in here. Lots of clever gussets. A wonderful bike that’s well actually available to buy. Well, like quite a lot of the custom bikes here, but this one is very special. Curved bikes uprock 2. So, this is one of their first models. It’s been updated. We’ve got modular dropouts with lots and lots of adjustments. Got titanium frame under this Cerakote, this ceramic coating that’s all murdered out. It’s lovely. modernized geometry to suit well either a suspension fork that’s around 120 but they do a rigid fork if you want to set it up as a well rigid bike packing sort of mountain bike lots of options I’ve got to say it does look stunning and underneath this as mentioned it is tie magic basket bikes are lots of fun even off-road uh Mangville make make the baskets they make the racks as well often you get a bag to go in it or you could just get some straps but they are lots of fun as is the rest of This custom bike got these wonderful twin parallels here that actually end up being the seat stays. It is a beautiful bike and a great rack and available well to buy. So if you’re asked for a basket jammer, here’s a good example. Funky bars too. Here are some beautiful bikes from French artisan August. First we’ve got like a dedicated trail hard tail with loads of wonderful details. So tube and tube construction. We’ve got a twin top tube, big and burly setup at the moment, but it’s got adjustable dropouts, too. Yeah, a really nice looking bike and steel and wonderfully artisal. And then we’ve got this bike. I mean, it’s full suspension. It’s steel. There’s so much going on with this bike. Just looks rad. This is an Oakland Cycle Works. And well, there’s a lot going on. We’ve got a lovely steel front triangle and then we’ve got a lot of links. Gary at Oakland is designing a bike that has very, very different characteristics to what we’ve got used to in terms of anti-quat and anti-rise. And I’ve had chats with people who’ve ridden it, and it’s meant to ride in a really different way. Potentially better than the trail bike you might be on at the moment. There’s quite a lot of links. We’ve not just got one pulley. We’ve actually got two. Yeah, high pivot, but it’s actually a multi-link bike. A lot going on. Pretty special, though. Let me know what you think. Wow. Again, my brain and brain at is tingling from all the creativity that all these wonderful frame builders, these bespoke builders are able to do here at the bespoke show. I know I’ve got my favorites because, well, we’ve seen those aluminium full suspension bikes. We’ve seen steel full suspension bikes with hidden gears within them. We’ve seen amazing titanium hard tails. We’ve seen 32 tour bikes. I know what my favorites are going to be, but well, let me know what yours are. Let me know in the comments down below.
