Bastion Cycles introduces the Panterra, a gravel bicycle designed for riders who seek capability without compromise.
Drawing upon the aerodynamic development of the Archetype, the Panterra extends Bastion’s design philosophy beyond the tarmac, combining efficiency, versatility and craftsmanship in a package that remains distinctly Bastion.
Designed exclusively around modern electronic 1x drivetrains and featuring full UDH compatibility, the Panterra offers clearance for tyres up to 50mm front and rear. The result is a bicycle equally at home on remote gravel roads, fast all-road adventures and everything in between.
Like every Bastion, the Panterra was developed with a clear purpose: to create a riding experience that feels distinctly different.
“Most gravel bikes are built down to a price point. The Panterra is built up from a principle. It’s gravel, done differently… because it matters,” said Ben Schultz, CEO of Bastion Cycles.
Aerodynamic principles developed through the Archetype have been carefully integrated throughout the design, delivering efficiency without compromising the ride quality and capability required for gravel riding.
“The challenge was balancing capability with ride feel,” said Ethan York, Engineering Manager at Bastion Cycles. “We wanted generous tyre clearance, modern drivetrain compatibility and genuine gravel versatility, while preserving the connected, refined ride feel that defines a Bastion. The Panterra allowed us to bring those requirements together in a very cohesive way.”
Built around a 700c platform, the Panterra weighs 8.5kg with SRAM Force XPLR and Zipp XPLR wheels, delivering a rare combination of capability and lightweight performance.
Every Panterra is supplied with a custom frame bag developed in collaboration with fellow Australian brand Skingrowsback, providing practical storage designed specifically for the bike and the journeys it invites.
Annual production at the Bastion Foundry in Melbourne is limited, with eleven people building only approximately 100 bikes each year. Every Panterra is individually engineered for its owner and handcrafted in-house.
