The original version of Around the Outside (ATO) was inspired by a line from Buffalo Girls, the ’80s hit by the quirky pop outlier Malcolm McLaren. A true pioneer, McLaren was the perfect inspiration for the first ATO; an elegant, stylish gravel bike designed for maximum cargo. A bike created to conquer pastures new, thanks to intelligent design and exceptional craftsmanship – the updated ATO offers all that and more.
The sleek road bike aesthetic is deceptive because ATO is every bit as capable as a modern mountain bike, a machine you can rely on even when you doubt yourself. Created to cover all types of riding, every detail has been carefully considered. From the single-front gearing (42t max) preferred by modern bike-packers, to internal cable routing that keeps lines clean. We’ve added more mounting bosses, too, so you can load your panniers and frame packs for bigger, bolder adventures.
As with its predecessor, high-spec titanium provides the shock absorption of steel but with a lightweight comparable to carbon. The stiffness of the material also ensures excellent power transfer. Pearson’s titanium bikes are made using the highest quality hand-drawn tubes available to ensure strength and agility when riding.
ATO’s curved down tube allows extra clearance for both the front wheel and luggage, as well as larger tyre sizes; there’s clearance for 29x2.2” or 27.5x2.3” (650x60). The frame features multiple bottle mounts (eg. on seat tube and down tube), again to better accommodate frame luggage. The expertly sculpted, cast-titanium rear wheel dropouts take their inspiration from contemporary mountain bikes, with craftsmanship that provides a class-leading strength-to-weight ratio.
