The Backroad is Lynskey's fully loaded touring bike. It's strong and stable for middle to long distance touring and commuting. Our fully loaded, self supported touring bike does not have a weight limit in the frameset, it is the strongest touring frame available. The employed disc brakes provide high stopping power and are resistant to water, mud and grime. The durability of the frame is unwavering with titanium craftsmanship resistant to scratches and corrosion.
The massive 1.75 inch downtube matched with its 1.375 inch top tube substantially improve handling and increase stability under heavy loads. We have made room for 45c tires on the rear by adding an engineered titanium plate for increased clearance. The Backroad addresses and exceeds all expectations, it’s the strongest touring frame available. Using disc brakes provides the best stopping power under full loads. The frame is built around a stable tubeset, with precise steering. Room to run double or triple cranksets, all built around a fully durable and reliable rig.
