Selected as one of the best off-road touring bikes by the renowned blog Cyling About, the Taïga EXP 2 is the dropbar version of the Taïga mountain bike. This makes it ideal for long-distance off-road tours and mixed terrain bikepacking expeditions. It was also the bike that led Cory Ostertag to first place at the 2022 BC Epic, and the same bike that helped Marie-Pierre Savard and Cory Ostertag set new record times (FKT) at the 2022 Log Driver’s Waltz for women and men respectively.
The Reynolds 725 frame is packed with useful features: adjustable rear sliding dropouts, seat stay opening for use with belt, compatible with 100mm suspension fork, compatible with dropper seat post. The carbon fork has internal cable routing for dynamo hub usage, and all the necessary mounts for your equipment. In addition to slight geometric refinements, tire clearance has been increased to easily accommodate 29×2.6” on this second-generation EXP.
The Taïga EXP 2 is equipped with the excellent GRX 12-speed groupset, and the frame now features flat-mount brake mounts. We offer 2 wheel options as well as an adjustable seatpost option. The Ritchey Beacon 52cm wide handlebar gives enough space for a bulky handlebar bag, while providing excellent stability when the terrain is more demanding.
*Frameset comes with wheel axles, headset installed, seatpost collar and frame protectors.

ON THE MEDIA
“The Panorama Taïga EXP is a drop-bar mountain bike built up around a Reynolds 725 steel frame and carbon fork. Both the frame and fork are kitted out with all the mounting points we like to see, with multiple triple-pack mounts, downtube bosses, rack and fender mounts, and even a spot for a bolt-on top tube bag. The Taïga EXP screams versatility with sliding dropouts, a split seat stay for belt-drive systems, 100mm travel suspension-corrected geometry, dropper post routing, boost hub spacing, and internal dynamo routing on the fork.”
Awarded as one of the best all-terrain touring bikes.
“Here is a new steel off-roader that’s a great buy. The stats on this bike are great. Ther’s 29 x 2.6” tire clearance, a 20 inch climbing gear, a 52cm wide handlebar, and the ability to fit a Rohloff 14-speed gearbox hub and belt drivetrain.”
