CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (BRAIN) — Lynskey Performance announced the updated GR 500 titanium gravel frame is now available for pre-order.
Redesigned for 2027, the GR 500 has innovative tube shaping, proprietary sliding dropouts, and improved ride characteristics, according to Lynskey. The tubeset features a pentagonal-formed toptube and a 1.75-inch square-formed downtube. Both profiles are developed, formed, and shaped at Lynskey's Chattanooga manufacturing facility.
The profiles are engineered to increase stiffness, improve power transfer, and minimize bottom-bracket flex, according to the brand, adding that the flattened and swooped seatstays are designed to employ "controlled compliance."
The sliding frame dropouts and UDH-compatible sliding dropout options allow for a variety of drivetrain and gearing options.
It's constructed from 3AL-2.5V titanium, accommodates tires up to 700c x 50mm, and includes multiple bottle mounts, a toptube mount, and rack and fender compatibility. The GR 500 initial orders will be ready by mid-December. MSRP: $1,650.
