Sirius S6 Ti

The Sirius S6 takes the mind-blowing S5 to the next level.

The question was obvious: if the Sirius is “special” in steel, what would happen if it was built from Titanium?

The Sirius is a lighter and more compliant frame than the Moxie Mx3 but it was never about making a lighter frame: it was about building a supremely capable bike with a broader spectrum of use.

But with Titanium, it is possible to ‘lose’ weight and reveal a whole new aspect to the character of the Sirius. But there’s more. With the appropriate selection of tubes – diametre, wall thickness, butt profile and shape – Titanium can deliver a ride quality that surpasses the ‘feel’ of the best steel frames. It’s a magical quality that only those who have ridden Ti can understand…and you need to experience!

Lighter and faster than your gravel bike? Possibly.
Able to keep up on the steepest trails? Probably.
Ready for your biggest adventure? Definitely.
Time to sell all your other bikes? Maybe, but you won’t.

Useful things to know.

The frame has plenty of bosses in convenient locations allowing it to carry 4 cages for bottles or kit. There’s 1 on the top tube; 2 sets of bosses (3+2) within the front triangle mean 2 bottles will happily fit, alternatively, the lower set of bosses can fit an anything/cargo cage or a single bottle can be fitted in a high or low position; another 3 bosses on the underside of the down tube give a choice of 2 positions for a bottle cage or the option to fit an anything/cargo cage.

*The frame is optimised to work with a typical 100-120mm 29er fork and geometry numbers as listed are with a 100mm fork (sagged). Stack with a typical 120mm fork (static, no sag) is 605mm i.e. +19mm.

Drop Optimized Geometry®

This is our philosophy, a combination of what we believe to be the best possible geometry for mountain bikes. A balanced blend of confidence, comfort and efficiency, Drop Optimized Geometry® gives you all the encouragement you need.

Long, Longer and now Longish…..what does that even mean?

When we launched the Moxie, it was only available in 2 sizes as we were confident that our Drop Optimized Geometry® could fit most riders between 5’5”/1.65m and 6’4”/1.93m. QED.

However, with only 2 sizes the normal monikers of small (S), medium (M), large (L) and extra-large (XL) didn’t seem appropriate so we chose Long and Longer instead. S/M and L/XL might have been more recognisable but really, they’re not that much more informative without ‘numbers’: one brands’ medium might be another brands’ large and herein lies the problem with labelling. With the addition of smaller sizes to our line-up, Longish was the natural choice. Confused?

This is one of the reasons why geometry tables are provided. But, how do you use this data?

If you compare our geometry to the data for your current bike (or some other reference frame), this should give you some indication of fit.

Designed for dropper posts.

Our Drop Optimized Geometry® can accommodate most riders between 4’11”/1.50m and 6’4”/1.93m with the selection of the appropriate length dropper post.

Current dropper posts offer around 100-215mm of adjustment allowing a wide range of riders to fit a frame with a 16.5″/420mm seat tube. Maximum usable length of seat tube is 260mm.

The table below illustrates recommended frame size for rider height.
