THE GO-ANYWHERE RIG
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.
And climb like a goat the new Satyr does. It turns, handles and descends beautifully too, with geometry influenced by Tom Kellogg’s years of championship winning frame design mixed with his dirt riding passion and prowess.

FAQs
WHY STEEL?
When riding off-road, we want as smooth a ride as possible without resorting to proprietary suspension components or bits that will make your bike disposable. Steel is a no-brainer answer for us - we get the stiffness and acceleration we want, and the ride quality so lauded of the material.
Plus, steel is durable and resilient. These bikes can take a beating and get you home safely. It’s the ideal material for a bike subjected to rough riding.
WHAT DOES IT WEIGH?
Frames weigh around 2200g. Complete builds are generally between 19-22lbs depending on your build. Big tires add weight, of course. Compare this with other steel frames of the same tire clearance, and the Satyr is about a pound lighter.
WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND THE OFFSET CHAINSTAY?
Great question - clearance. The offset chainstay allows greater tire clearance and greater drivetrain compatibility. The Satyr can take a 650x2.2” tire with gravel 2x like Shimano’s GRX or SRAM’s AXS WIDE, along with all standard 1x configurations. The Satyr is designed to take you almost anywhere - and that means groupset and tire compatibility has to be great.
You’ll notice that we’re using a full-length tubular chainstay rather than a metal plate or yoke - this is a key reason we’re able to keep the frameset weight so comparatively low.
