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.
Does gravel, dirt and mud feed your soul and conjure up your inner child? Yeah, us too! That's why we simply had to design the perfect steed for riding everywhere in that long-forgotten Mecca that lies between the pavement and serious MTB trails: the all-new, entirely US-made Alchemy Lycos, engineered with our award-winning Factory Carbon.
HOW?
Designed as the natural complement to our highly touted Ronin gravel bike honoring Alchemy's renowned legacy of laterally stiff bikes with quick acceleration and nimble handling, 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. While the Ronin is happiest on more established gravel/dirt/paved roads, the new Lycos yearns to take you further afield, where gravel roads become doubletrack and even semi-technical singletrack. Bonus features like ultra-tough Cerakote paint and SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger promise added versatility, range and durability.
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.
