Enigma Escape Titanium

“The Escape is a highly adaptable and hugely capable all-terrain titanium gravel bike. It’s equally at home munching mile after mile of tarmac on an ultra-endurance road event or some back of beyond forestry bridleway for those seeking a bit more solitude. Whatever you throw at the Escape it handles it with ease.”

Stox by Hand

Fitted to the Enigma Escape Titanium is a pair of wheels built by Shane of Stox by Hand, namely the Gravel 35 Wheelset. “These are a 24mm internal hookless rim, 30mm width, and 35mm depth. The rim itself is asymmetric with a 2.8 mm spoke offset. This allows for a more even spoke tension between drive and non-drive spokes and an increase in lateral stiffness. Weight is 1440 grams when laced to our SLCL hubs.” – http://stoxbyhand.com
