The Heavy Bikes 'Hypocrite' gravel bicycle is a high-end performance bike built with a customizable, lightweight form in mind to support the needs of avid cyclists. The bike puts a one-piece form in the spotlight achieved using the Pascal Process thanks to a partnership with the Foundry Casting Systems. The frame is thus sand cast where the molten aluminum is poured into the sand mold before being pumped with inert gas to force the metal Ito all the various intricacies of the mold.
The Heavy Bikes 'Hypocrite' gravel bicycle is T6 heat treated and machined, and paired with an Enve fork, stem, handlebars and seat post alongside additional components like the SRAM XX Eagle drivetrain. The bike is priced starting at $16,000.
