The ‘Stramash’ is an adventure and gravel bike, developed by none other than Shand Cycles, that is designed to offer an enviable degree of performance without compromising on either physical comfort or the rider's enjoyment.
The design centers on in-house stainless steel dropouts that support multiple drivetrain systems. Elsewhere, a multi-fit bottom bracket shell accommodates both threaded and eccentric configurations, enabling different drivetrain setups within the same frame structure.
The bike’s format supports gravel riding, single track, and adventure bike-packing use, with customization options such as varied frame sizes and geometry adjustments to ensure you get the perfect fit.
Priced starting at around $7,400 for the base model, the 'Stramash' is entirely handmade in Scotland and its name is an inspiration to Scottish lingo given that it means 'disturbance' or 'racket.'
