Sage Bicycles is a semi-custom, titanium bike builder based in Beaverton, Oregon. The company just revealed a new made-in-the-USA gravel bike, the Storm King, and it’s a stunner. The bike is named after a singletrack trail near Bend, Oregon. The Storm King features clearance for 700c x 50mm or 650 x 2.4″ tires and had four pairs of bottle mounts.

This is not another gravel bike. The Sage Titanium Storm King is a catalyst to new adventures. It’s a drop-bar beast designed to fuel your exploration, taking you deeper while getting increasingly more remote with every pedal stroke. The Storm King is not only designed for the bike packer who tackles multi-day adventures like the Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder, but also for the gravel racer who looks to conquer events like the Dirty Kanza 200 or Grinduro. Storm King is a rock-gobbling animal with a geometry to keep the rider more comfortable on technical terrain.

Named after the ribbon of singletrack outside of Bend, Oregon, Storm King is ready to get shreddy on tires sizes up to 700x50mm or 650Ã—2.4”. Utilizing a curved seat tube to decrease the length of the chainstays while maintaining maximum tire clearance, the Storm King is able to snap to acceleration with minimal effort. The Storm King touts three bottle cages, rack mounts front and rear, and bosses for either bolt-on food bags or bolt-on frame bags. All that, plus internal cable routing for the rear brake and dropper post for an ultra-clean look. Of course, our patented Cable Clip System ((US Patent No. 9,545,975) is designed into the bike to ensure you have as much versatility with your drivetrain choice as you do your riding adventures.

We like to think of Sage Titanium bicycles as the perfect canvas for riders to make them what they want. Whether it is with mud splatter from the trail, or fully custom one-off builds that redefine the term “rolling art”. Whatever your adventure, grab your GPS, pack a lunch, and take the Storm King past the border of your comfort zone.
