UP TO 700x50c OR 650x2.2 CLEARANCE // ALCHEMY PREMIUM CARBON // SRAM UDH // LIFETIME WARRANTY
The LYCOS is the answer for those looking for a tough, singletrack worthy gravel bike that absolutely rips. The Alchemy premium carbon frame is laterally stiff and snappy, with an extra tough layup that's insanely light. The gravel specific geo will have you comfortable and smiling after hours in the backcountry or on hardpack.
HOW?
The LYCOS adds dramatically increased off-road capability, thanks to a slacker head tube angle, super-wide tire clearance, and updated geometry that's highly effective at absorbing chatter and bumps. The new LYCOS yearns to take you further afield, where gravel roads become doubletrack and even semi-technical singletrack. Bonus features like beautiful paintjobs, extra braze-ons, and SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger promise added versatility, range and durability.
The all-new ultrafast backcountry machine is the do-it-all bike you've been searching for. Up to 50mm tire clearance with tons of drivetrain options. The frame is light, responsive, and can take a beating for true gravel performance.
After years of searching, Alchemy has finally found a fabrication partner that can help us bring the LYCOS to you at a lower cost than our handmade-in-Colorado models, all with our same world-class standards and award winning layups. All LYCOS builds use top-shelf components to give you the best possible ride, now at a lower price than we've ever offered.
We have spent over a decade and countless hours perfecting our carbon layups. We engineer our frames to be stronger, lighter, and reliable. Our team of fabricators ensures our carbon bike frames are designed to be integrated with our suspension systems providing better kinematics compared to other mountain bikes. Whether it is our 5+ of NAHBs award winning carbon layups or our lifetime warranty on frames, you can rest assured your Alchemy carbon frame is built to stand the test of time.
At it's core, the Lycos is an off-road explorer designed to tackle any and all gravel terrain. Built with our award winning carbon layups and designed with a more progressive/modern geometry, the Lycos is built to be durable and stylish. With clearance for 700x50c tires, the Lycos can handle almost any terrain. The Lycos is available Shimano's GRX Di2 and SRAM's Force and Red AXS stock, with available upgrades to XPLR components as well.
