The Titanium Dad-Bike (With 2.4” Clearance)
Curve’s Big Kev V2 clears 29 x 2.4” tires and adds dropper routing. A titanium monster gravel bike built for real terrain.
Curve Big Kev V2: Built for Bigger Days 🚲
Confidence starts where traction meets terrain. The Curve Big Kev V2 leans hard into that equation with clearance for a 29 x 2.4” tire (2.6” if you’re willing to gamble on mud). That’s not a vanity metric—it’s a capability shift.
More tire means lower pressures, more control, and fewer line-choice compromises when your “gravel ride” quietly turns into underbiked singletrack. For the busy dad sneaking in 90 minutes before sunset, that margin matters. You don’t get many second chances in a week.
Titanium, Tweaked — Not Reinvented 🧠
Curve didn’t overhaul the platform. They refined it. Slightly more upright geometry, dropper routing, UDH + T-Type compatibility, and a redesigned 3D-printed yoke—all layered onto the proven titanium chassis.
The other quiet upgrade? The new Ride 415 VGM fork rated to carry 8kg per side. That’s real cargo capacity, not marketing copy. Think water, layers, or overnight kit without torquing your steering into a shopping cart.
The One Spec That Actually Matters ⚡️
29 x 2.4” clearance.
Why? Because tire volume changes fatigue. Lower pressures reduce vibration. Reduced vibration lowers neuromuscular load. Lower load means you finish strong instead of surviving the last hour.
That’s not lifestyle branding. That’s physiology.
At $3,540 USD for the frameset, this isn’t impulse-buy territory. It’s the kind of bike you build around a decade of riding. Big main triangle for frame bags, standard Q-factor, no weird crank constraints. Practical decisions for people who actually ride their equipment.
Why It Matters
- More tire = more control on unpredictable terrain
- Dropper compatibility future-proofs technical gravel riding
- UDH + T-Type ready keeps drivetrain options modern
- Real cargo capacity for actual long rides
- Titanium durability for riders who don’t baby their bikes
