The Flaanimal is meant to be built and ridden in any way that its rider imagines.
5.0 set a new bar for the Flaanimal platform, one that has been in a continuous state of evolution since its inception in 2015. The innovative construction and massively adaptable feature set of this bicycle platform represent what we consider to be a new high watermark for a production steel (and carbon) gravel/adventure bike. The Flaanimal is meant to be built and ridden in any way that its rider imagines. It can be blisteringly fast on the pavement on skinny slicks. It can be smooth, efficient, and competitive on gravel. With its win at the 2021 Tour Divide as piloted by Jay Petervary, Flaanimal has added bikepacking racing to its list of proven accomplishments.
