With a large tyre clearance and plenty of mounts, the Bombtrack Hook EXT is a hugely versatile machine. It manages to offer an impressively fun and nimble approach to the tracks and trails regardless of whether you are riding it loaded up for an adventure or smashing it around stripped back. It’s like a cyclocross bike on steroids! Range overview: Bombtrack Bicycle Co.

Bombtrack's Hook gravel family grows again, now with a new on & off-road versatile, adventure & bikepacking-ready Hook EXT Ti in titanium...

Hardly any other German brand has made such a name for itself in the international bikepacking scene as Bombtrack. The Hook 2 combines features from numerous disciplines, including a big portion of bikepacking DNA. Is that enough to hold its own against the competition?

New for 2021, Bombtrack rolled out a titanium version of their popular Hook EXT all-road frameset. We got our hands on one and spent a couple of weeks riding it around Berlin for this exclusive first look. Find complete details, tons of photos, and initial impressions here...
Exceptionally well thought out frameset with lots of features that appeal to bikepackers
Versatile geometry that’s suited to racing, riding, and rambling
Titanium’s superior durability means this is a frame for life
Top-notch craftsmanship is evident in the details
High price puts it out of reach for many, especially when there are more affordable steel models
Unique Titanium/Grey Blue color scheme won’t be to everyone’s tastes
Limited to just 50 pieces in the first run, so likely limited availability

If you aren't fussed about 11kg+, this is a great bike with all-round potential and the lifelong assurance of a steel frame

The category-busting Bombtrack Hook EXT bike serves up cyclocross geometry, fat 27.5" mountain bike rubber and Columbus steel. Is this a recipe for fun?
