Adventure on a bike capable to support journeys across the world. Around The Outside is made using the highest quality hand-drawn titanium available to ensure strength and agility when riding.
The name is inspired by Malcom McLaren’s 1982 smash, whose square-dance style, instructed his 'Buffalo Gals' to "go around the outside". For English artists these days, breaking America is relatively common but back then, the eccentric McLaren was a true trailblazer. And you’ll be blazing trails too aboard our new gravel bike, designed for maximum cargo and riding comfort.

The addition of multiple mounting bosses enables you to load up with supplies for as long as you need; weeks, months, even years. (Potentially even, around the world.)
