Light e-bikes have weak motors, strong e-bikes are too heavy? Not at all! The completely newly developed Zing Trip Plus combines low weight and high performance - and not only saves on equipment but also comes standard for everyday use and vacation. This is made possible by the external battery, which can be easily removed for charging, storage, transport, and overnight stays. The additional equipment caters to more demanding individuals with an interest in extended and dynamic bike tours.

While we wouldn’t claim to have invented the combination of big wheels and drop bars, Singular was very much at the vanguard of the current era of creating these fun and versatile bikes. Combining big, wide flared drop bars with big, wide tyres makes for an incredible ride over varied terrain - even more-so on a lively steel frame.Frameset

Our first model the Swift was first design to work with both drop and flat bars – though my personal preference was for the former. This was always a slight compromise, the perfect off road drop bar bike necessitates a taller headtube and shorter reach to put the hands in the same relative position.

Enter the Gryphon.

Fork

The mythical mash-up of lion and eagle representing the ostensible clash between drop bars and big knobbly tyres – perfectly harmonious in reality. Released in 2008, at the time many just didn’t get it, however those who did appreciated this smooth riding steel frame. It became a cult favourite. More and more people came to appreciate the comfort and versatility of drop bars with the alchemistic pairing of big fat 29″ rubber. Drawing upon and further evolving the traditions of the legendary bikes of Charlie Cunningham and more contemporaneously SR Suntour Mobie 34, air spring, external rebound and compression adjustment, 60 mm travel,Matt Chester , the Gryphon foreshadowed bikes such as the Salsa Fargo and subsequently the advent of ‘gravel’ bikes. To the best of our knowledge, the Gryphon was the first production 29″ wheeled, disc braked, steel mountain bike frameset designed for use with a drop handlebar.

2022 sees the Gryphon’s return, updated for current component standards – but retaining the fabled smooth ride and light, lively handling of its predecessors.

Available in M, L & XL sizes – see below for full geometry details. Frames will be in a lovely muted khaki (RAL 7034) with a simple Singular logo in ivory. The main pic is a (fairly basic) mock up of the design and the other photos are of earlier versions of the Gryphon.

We utilise a size specific selection of Taiwan made custom drawn triple butted 4130 Cro-Mo tubing.Wheels
