REFINEMENT FOR THE WILD CHILD
The satyr was a mythical forest creature known to the Romans as a woodland spirit (and a bit of a party animal). The embodiment of fun and rowdiness, the satyr was a man built atop the legs of a goat.
Since it's launch the steel-framed Ritte Satyr has been a hit with its beautifully balanced handling and adjustable fork rake, it's well-protected full internal cables and hoses, and big tire clearances.
The titanium-framed SaTir retains all these features and brings the refinement and elegance of titanium to the off-road party.
ORDER PROCESS
Here’s how the build process for your custom titanium (Ti) bike works:
- Place Your Deposit: Begin your journey by placing a deposit on your custom Ti frame, which kickstarts the build process.
- Select Your Components: We’ll collaborate with you to select the ideal groupset and components that match your riding preferences and needs.
- Personalized Fit Consultation: Every custom Ti bike is built around your unique geometry and desired ride characteristics. We’ll review your existing bike, any pro bike fit data you have, and discuss your ideal ride feel. The Ti tube lengths and dimensions will be tailored to your specific build for an optimal fit.
- Finish Options: Choose from three finish options—bead blasted, polished, or brushed. For an extra layer of personalization, custom paint and finish upgrades are available for an additional cost.
- We Build Your Bike: Once all the details are confirmed, we will build your custom Ti bike. Builds are typically completed in around 6 weeks.
- Delivery: Your custom-built Ti bike will be shipped almost fully assembled. All you need to do is rotate the handlebars, attach the wheels, adjust the seatpost, and you’ll be ready to ride.
- Post-Delivery Fit Check: After delivery, we’ll follow up to ensure the bike fit and performance are perfect for your needs.

FRAMESET DETAILS
Proven handling geometry, an exceptional tubing package, and customized fit are the key components to The SaTir.
Built from a hand selected mix of tubing, all of our SaTir frames begin with an ultra-oversized titanium tubes. The base tube package is anything but basic - generally this is a tubeset that would already be an ‘upgrade’ over standard round, straight wall tubes with many brands. But, we can go further—we offer upgrades to double butted tubing at all 3 main frame tubes (TT, DT, and ST) as well as options for thinner or thicker gauge tubing. We would be glad to discuss your specific needs to build just the right ride for you.
We utilize a T47 threaded bottom bracket and IS headtubes for ease of maintenance—this bike is built to go the distance.
All of these frames come equipped with an Enve Road Disc fork.

FAQs
CAN I GET CUSTOM GEOMETRY ON A TITANIUM FRAME?
Depending on the modification, yes. Reach out to us, and we can work through your goals and fit - we’ve got a tried and tested geometry theory, and we find that 99% of people fit very well with only minor tweaks to things like headtube length.
CAN I GET A CUSTOM FINISH?
Yes. Our standard finish, brushed with bead-blasted logos, is the lowest maintenance and most resilient option for a titanium frame. But we are glad to offer custom paint, bead blasting and anodizing as an add-on.
WHAT BUILDS ARE AVAILABLE?
The sky is the limit here - we build our titanium bikes to order, so there are no “stock models,” and each one is built for a specific rider. We’ll work with you on not only the frameset but the groupset and build kit. No detail is too minute - custom-built wheels or a specific chainring.
The builds in the configurator are simply an example - we stock a wide array of components and can order them to suit these bikes.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Lead times for our titanium frames start at about six weeks. Complete builds are around eight weeks. Additional finish options, custom geometry, or components requiring additional sourcing can extend these lead times. We generally like to get these bikes done as quickly as possible - we’d rather they be out on the road or trail with you than hanging in our workshop.
WHAT DOES IT WEIGH?
Our titanium frames are around 1600g - depending on the sizing and the tubeset selection we make together. But ultimately, we target a ride quality result rather than a weight with these frames. It’s quite easy to build sub-17lb bikes, but we don’t want to forego pedaling efficiency, turn-in feel, or longevity to get there.
