The Gravel / All-Road / Endurance thoroughbred!
The CS embodies all of All-City's bicycle ideals in its execution. As is their passion, All-City combined the classic artistry of a lovingly detailed, handbuilt steel frame with current technology, creating a bike that is both timeless as well as thoroughly contemporary.
It is designed to be the ultimate for covering ground quickly over any road surface you may encounter. Whether you’re traveling and can only bring one bike, crushing gravel classics such as the Dirty Kanza, or just want to know that whatever the heck you end up getting into for the day your bike can handle, The Cosmic Stallion is The One!
While it excels on smooth roads, when things start getting bumpy the Stallion really shines. It does a great job of soaking up road chatter, yet is so fast and efficient. It’s also incredibly versatile in its feature set. You’ll find three bottle mounts, as well as mounts for a rear rack and fenders. It also sports a full carbon Whisky No. 9 fork, All-City's own A.C.E. tubeset, a tapered head tube, lovely shaped stays, thru-axles, Shimano Di2 compatibility, and fits 700c x 45 or 650b x 47 tires.
The A.C.E. tubeset found on the Cosmic Stallion was custom designed for all-road riding and racing. The tubing is seamless, heat treated, Air-hardened, and Custom Extruded to All-City's exact specifications and needs. The use of full frame A.C.E. Tubing allows the engineer total control over the butting profiles and wall thicknesses and has allowed All-City to build their lightest disc frame yet, a full 5oz lighter than the 853 Macho King, as well as achieving the ride characteristics they were after.
