All cables—mechanical, electronic, or hydraulic—are completely concealed within the stem and routed through the headset, creating an exceptionally clean and streamlined appearance. This design not only enhances the bike's aesthetics but also provides aerodynamic advantages for the rider.
The GROOTY frame is compatible with a broad range of equipment, including Shimano and SRAM mechanical or electronic shifting systems.

Crafted from ash wood, the GROOTY's hollow frame consists of 10 CNC-machined wooden elements, reinforced with carbon inserts at critical interfaces—bottom bracket, seatpost, headset, and rear axle.
Most wooden elements are connected via high-strength finger joints, bonded with aerospace-grade epoxy adhesive.
Protected by a UV-resistant polyurethane varnish, the wooden frame can be cleaned with water like any conventional bike.
The frame weighs approximately 2.1 kg (Size M, race geometry). A complete bike typically weighs around 8.7 kg (without pedals) when equipped with carbon wheels and a Shimano Ultegra groupset.
The GROOTY surprises with its lively feel and impressive efficiency, comparable to carbon frames. Its balanced stiffness offers a ride that is both responsive and comfortable—rigid enough for power transfer without being harsh.
Comfort & Damping: The GROOTY feels like a magic carpet on rough roads, thanks to its exceptional shock and vibration absorption—surpassing even titanium or steel. It allows the rider to stay seated longer and finish long rides with less fatigue.
Handling & Precision: The frame offers precise and confident handling. It holds lines well, resists torsional flex under hard braking, and feels solid and composed across varied terrain.
Overall Character: Comfortable, subtly responsive, and full of character, the GROOTY delivers a refined and smooth ride. It’s a capable and inspiring partner for long-distance adventures.
