Reilly Cycleworks will launch their new advanced road bike ‘Fusion’ at The Cycle Show 2022 (22-24 April). This major launch, which represents an evolution of Reilly’s road series, combines classic Reilly race geometry, top-grade hydroformed titanium tubes, and advanced engineering to create a light, aerodynamic titanium frame to rival carbon equivalents.

In a nod to tradition, Reilly’s innovative use of investment casting makes the Fusion a distinctive titanium offering in a market of ubiquitous carbon frames. The nature of investment casting allowed Reilly to mimic the aero shapes usually associated with a carbon mould or 3D printing. The seamless welding of the investment cast parts to 3AL-2.5V tubing highlights the hand-crafted detail associated with all Reilly frames.

Fully integrated cable routing gives the bike a sleek and minimal cockpit, while the stunning ‘kamm tail’ tube profile brings additional aero benefit.

Stand-out key features:
  • Titanium aero road disc frameset

  • Investment cast 6AL-4V titanium head tube, seat cluster, bottom bracket shell and dropouts

  • The weight of the Fusion frame is 1.79kg

  • 3AL-2.5V tubing

  • Carbon race fork with internal front brake hose routing

  • Fully integrated bars, stem, and headset. Choice of FSA ACR system or Deda Alanera one-piece carbon bar and stem

  • Aero ‘Kamm tail’ tubing, plus D-shaped seat post and a carbon-railed saddle

  • Hollow rear dropouts – one of the many features engineered to reduce weight

  • SN-Vitae T47/68 threaded bottom bracket

  • Available with Shimano DuraAce or Ultegra Di2 12 Speed, SRAM Red eTap AXS, or Campagnolo Record EPS

  • Fitted with DCR x Reilly Carbon 37s. Alternatively, upgrade to Strada Carbon Performance Aero Disc 35/45/55 wheelset

  • Continental Grand Prix 5000 tyres as standard

  • Custom mirror or anodised finish available on request

  • Lifetime warranty for first owner

Visitors to The Cycle Show 2022 will be able to see the Fusion and book a demo ride, on Stand G471. The Fusion will be exhibited alongside the Reilly Gradient, the Gradient T47, the Spectre and the T325.
