"Merlin, the absolute standard in titanium bikes!"

20 years ago Merlin built the first contemporary titanium road and mountain bikes and revolutionized the sport. An unsurpassed strength-to-weight ratio and toughness along with superb physical properties at lower weights give titanium the unique ability to absorb road shock while retaining excellent torsional stiffness to resist pedaling loads. Add to that titanium's phenomenally high fatigue strength and the fact that it doesn't rust or corrode, and there is simply no better frame material choice.

Ultimately, titanium's biggest benefit is that it enables you to have more fun and get more enjoyment out of your bike and your riding experience. And that's what it's all about!

Extralight ~

The standard by which all other titanium frames are compared. Designed for speed and ultimate riding performance, the Extralight maximizes stiffness while minimizing weight. Using proprietary double butted titanium tubes that Merlin invented, the Extralight weighs a mere 2.2 lbs. Yet, it can track the tightest of turns and power through the steepest of climbs. Includes Reynolds Ouzo Pro full carbon fork with corrected rake for proper trail.

Works CR ~

Simply stated, the Works CR is the best riding high performance bike Merlin has ever made. Using Merlin's very refined and race tested geometry, the Works CR offers a torsionally rigid front end to ensure precise handling. The stout 1" chainstays give the drivetrain awe inspiring efficiency. The custom tuned Merlin MTS2 size-specific titanium tubeset is the most refined on the planet. The Works CR provides a truly magical combination of rigidity and comfort - very fast, extremely efficient. Add the fact that is the most durable and reparable frame ever made and you can see why we feel it is the #1 choice for aggressive club rides as well as world class racing. Includes Reynolds Ouzo Pro full carbon fork with corrected rake for proper trail.

Cyrene ~

This frame started the titanium revolution. And, it's still one of the best. In fact, it's second only to the Merlin Extralight in its combination of light weight and comfort. The 3.2 lb Merlin Cyrene will instill confidence on any road you steer it down, whether heading out to a weekend race or conquering your next Century. The Cyrene features "S" bend titanium seatstays for extra comfort. Includes Reynolds Ouzo Pro full carbon fork with corrected rake for proper trail.

Camena ~   For the ladies!

"Combined with Kyle's legendary fit, the Camena provides female riders with more efficiency and comfort than ever before!"

Specifically designed for female riders, the Camena is revolutionary in its concept. After fitting thousands of female riders, both Merlin and Cycles BiKyle have come to the realization that many of the preconceptions about women's builds and resulting bicycle design have been downright wrong. If you are a woman struggling with bicycle fit or comfort, the Camena may be the perfect animal. Combined with Kyle's legendary expertise for perfect fit, the Camena positions your body for the most efficient and comfortable ride ever! Includes Reynolds Ouzo Pro full carbon fork with corrected rake for proper trail.

The cockpit space is specially designed for a woman's built. And since women carry more of their power and weight in their hips, the Camena has longer chainstays for a more balanced center of gravity. The result: a more secure, comfortable, and responsive ride!

Carbon 110 ~

All of Merlin's NX MTS technology in top end carbon. A very resilient ride results from ultra-fine low density carbon fiber throughout, the finest carbon made today. Road vibration is fine tuned out before it reaches the rider. Custom tube shapings provide the drivetrain stiffness and front end stability that only meticulous engineering and careful hand crafting can produce. Merlin's unique headtube and downtube lug are stronger and more secure than competing makers.  Weight for a 53cm frame is just 2.7 lbs. Color is blue with black contrast. Includes Real Signature HP all-carbon fork.

Installed Headsets for your Custom Merlin ~

A headset is needed on every bike. The headset is the precision bearing set mounted into the frame that secures the fork and allows you to smoothly and safely steer your bike.

A great frame deserves a great headset. At Cycles BiKyle we let you choose from the finest: Chris King or Campagnolo Record. Then, we hand machine and install your premium headset at no extra charge!  Click here for adding to your order: Headsets
