Kocmo Grvl Beast

 The prototype Kocmo Grvl Beast frame itself is unique in how it mixes the angular tube shaping and even dropped seatstay design we’ve come to know from aero carbon race bikes. But here it’s in a relatively plug-and-play design that allows Kocmo to more easily tweak sizing and geometry thanks to the fact that the additive-manufactured titanium lugs can be personalized to each buyer.

Kocmo also does a nice job of taking advantage of the infinitely customizable lugs by incorporating their name and logos in details throughout the 3D-printed ti.

The prototype ti & carbon Grvl Beast hits all the modern gravel bike highlights, like internal routing, flat mounts, 12mm axles, UDH, T47 BB, an aero seatpost with hidden clamp, and big 50mm tire clearance.

Plus, it adds a securely designed internal frame storage glovebox door into the downtube. That’s not something you see very often from small bike makers. But it looks like Kocmo has a nice solution inside the boxy carbon downtube of the hybrid-construction gravel race bike.

For now, Kocmo’s Grvl Beast remains just a prototype. But the brand showcased the bike at Bespoked to get a feel for consumer interest. They seem pretty excited about the project, and are taking their titanium expertise to the next level to create a more modern gravel race bike.

Fingers crossed that they get good feedback about this Beast, so we’ll get to see it added to their regular line-up soon.
