Equator Sensei Titanium Gen 3 - frameset

A timeless titanium frame is second to none

Steel is real, carbon is light, but titanium lasts. Our frames are made of aerospace-grade, seamless 3Al-2.5V alloy tubing.

Titanium is more comfortable than steel due to its vibration absorption, but unlike steel, it is lighter and will not rust. It matches the strength of carbon, but unlike carbon, it can withstand rough handling. So we've made a frame built to last a lifetime.
A frame that adapts to the road and the day.

Cable port in the head tube

Conical head tube with integrated port for internal cable routing. This makes the bike look clean, the cables don't rub against the head tube, and the integrated (drop-in) headset is easy to maintain because no cables pass through it. Plus, we don't have to make unnecessary holes in the down tube too.

Equator Gravel carbon fork

The Sensei is equipped with a high-quality Equator carbon fork that elegantly complements the thin tubes of the whole.

If you require mounting points on the fork that is possible too.

Internal cable routing and 1x and 2x support

Frame is ready for electronic or mechanical kit including 2x systems. If fitted with a dropper, it also allows for internal routing through BB.

Number of mounting points

You'll find a plethora of mounting points on Sensei. The usual inner triangle allow for running 2 bottle cages or one on the down tube that can be positioned as close to bb as possible to allow for bigger bottles or frame bags. 
Another bottle cage can be mounted under the frame and you can also use bolt-on bag on the top tube.

And we haven't forgotten about mounts for the rack or fenders.

Ovalized toptube

Looks great and makes the ride comfortable with added vertical flex while also stabilizing the frame against unwanted lateral flex.

Dropper post ready

Dropper doesn't have to stay on MTB's. On a taller gravel frame, you'll appreciate the ability to lower the saddle in difficult descends terrain. 

Our frames are ready for 31.6 mm seatposts, so you have plenty of freedom of choice. Thanks to the fully internal routing, the wiring never leaves the frame.

Flat mount or post mount brakes

The frame is factory ready for gravel flat mount calipers. Post-mount calipers can be mounted using an adapter.

The shift cable exits the chainstay directly around the rear center. It looks great and there is no unnecessary hole in the chainstay.

T47 bottom bracket with internal wiring

The 3D printed bottom bracket completely separates cables from the axis. This prevents unwanted friction even when the inner plastic cap is not fitted. The cables are routed through the inside of the chain stays and can be easily inspected by unscrewing the bottom cap.

We use a T47 threaded bottom bracket birthed in Chris King's workshop. You don't have to worry about unwanted noises as with many pressfit types. The larger diameter makes the whole system more durable and reliable, and results in a stronger frame tube joint.

SRAM UDH Universal Derailleur Hanger

The UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) is SRAM's global hanger standard. You can get this part at any better shop because it is not brand specific. It's simple to change and will rotate instead of bending during a mishap.
It also makes the frame ready for SRAM T-type derailleurs.

For convenient servicing, the right seatstay is fitted with a small lug for chain delegation during bike servicing. You're welcome.

Rear triangle is weight-optimized

We use different seatstay diameters for different frame sizes. This way, all riders can enjoy the same comfort, no matter which frame size they choose.

The combination of comfort and stiffness is thus consistent across sizes.

Built With You, Not Just For You

While we list sensible, road-tested and community-approved specs across the range, we're equally happy (maybe a tiny bit happier) to do individual builds.

Shiny CNC'd groupset from a niche brand? Not a problem. Wider gear range for the mountains or loaded touring? Sure. A dropper post, different handlebar, or a suspension stem? Just say so.

Most of what makes a bike yours lives in those details. Your bike should start as a conversation, not a specs list.

Engineered, Tested, Built and Ridden in the Heart of Europe

Every Equator bike is engineered, drawn, tested and assembled in Zlín, Czech Republic — the same town that gave the world Tufo Tyres and, long before that, Baťa shoes.

Our hometown has always had a thing about a good fit. So do we.

Each frame starts from multiple real-world prototypes. The geometry, the build and the final ride check are all done here. Nothing leaves the workshop until it's a bike we'd want to ride ourselves.

Cliché? Yes. One we stand firmly behind.
