TALISMAN

BIKEPACKING-READY GRAVEL BIKE

The Bice Bicycles Talisman is a custom-made steel bikepacking-ready gravel frame. Your good luck charm, his eminence of gravel, the Talisman is an adventure bike designed to work well both on and off-road and is perfect for short or medium rides. With a carbon fork specifically designed for this model, the bicycle has a relax and comfortable riding position perfect for enjoying dusty backroads. Each frame is outfitted with bossed for 3 bottle cages so you never get thirsty.

With the option of mounting either bikepacking bags or panniers, the geometry and bottom bracket height ensure comfort with a well-distributed load capacity over long distances. This load capacity is further improved thanks to the custom ALLYNG fork which is designed to have an increased rake and the option of mounting an anything cage.

The all-terrain attitude is highlighted by the max tire clearance of up to 42mm letting you mount some nice and beefy all-season gravel tires increasing traction and comfort. The Talisman frame has adjustable dropouts allowing you to shorten or lengthen the rear triangle varying the reactivity of the frame. It is also possible to design the frame with vertical dropouts. On the standard Talisman model, all cable guides are external however there is the option for internal cable routing.

Included in the price of each Talisman frame is the custom carbon ALLYGN fork and a Chris King Inset8 headset. As an alternative you can also mount an ENVE Gravel Road Disc Fork.
