AIR Kev was originally a project for the 2023 Handmade Bike Show Australia, but it quickly won the hearts of gravel fans across the globe, so we decided to bring it to life. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Carbon Bonded Seat Tube \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAIR Kev combines the best qualities of carbon and titanium to create a new standard for gravel riding in the Curve range.\u003cbr\u003eThe carbon seat tube is not just a striking design feature, in combination with the 3d printed titanium BB lug, it results in the stiff and responsive ride quality you'd expect from a top-end race-oriented frame.\u003cbr\u003eThe carbon seat tube is bonded to the bottom bracket shell with a super strong double-lap join. A tight tolerance 3D-printed titanium lug, and a carefully selected aerospace adhesive, makes this possible. \u003cbr\u003eOur 3D-printed parts include sub-millimeter bond-gap control features. While such fine details are invisible on our finished frames, they result in class leading bond strengths. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComplete AIR Kev builds are finished with Curve's new carbon seat post with a custom 3D-printed titanium topper. This post weighs a respectable 190g without compromising performance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Sleek Gravel Race Bike \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AIR Kev frame features internal routing via the downtube, bottom bracket and full-length non-drive side chainstay. The brake hose has an uninterrupted path from front to rear for clean RH-rear or LH-rear brake controls. It is held in place by an unsung hero, a 3D-printed titanium cable guide hidden inside the bottom bracket shell, which secures the hose snugly without bottom bracket cup or crank spindle interference. \u003cbr\u003eA single-sided yoke remains together with the curved seatstay to retain the iconic side-on silhouette of the original Curve GXR. \u003cbr\u003eAIR Kev features a stripped-down version of our Ride 415 fork, dubbed the Race 415 fork, with internal brake hose routing and without M5 cargo mounts. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElements of Australian Manufacturing \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll AIR Kev frames are bonded and finished by Curve in Melbourne, Australia. AIR artwork, painting and cosmetic finishing are completed by hand within Curve’s new paint facility using high-end automotive products. This is part of Curve's mission to establish elements of our manufacturing process in Australia where we can control, develop and refine new processes in-house. \u003cbr\u003eFabrication of the titanium frame, carbon tubes and 3D-printed titanium elements remains with our trusted and established partners in China. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRace or Party Mode \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the AIR Kev is built to go fast, all Kevs are ready to party on chunkier gravel. The AIR Kev frame and Race 415 fork can accommodate a maximum tyre clearance of 700c x 50mm, and even wider up front, giving you plenty of options for all-terrain adventures. AIR Kev is also compatible with 650b wheelsets if you want to venture further off the beaten track. \u003cbr\u003eThe rear dropouts are fully SRAM UDH\/T-Type compatible, for the ultimate wide gear range builds. The flat-mount brake tab is positioned for a 160mm rotor without the need for an adapter. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTravel in Comfort \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe backbone of each AIR Kev frameset is a 3Al - 2.5V Grade 9 Aerospace grade titanium tube set. This grade is optimal for bicycle frames and was chosen for its balance of stiffness, compliance, and durability. Titanium absorbs road noise without compromising on performance. It's smooth as silk and very compliant, so you can spend more time on the bike without feeling battered and bruised after a long ride, especially on rough gravel roads. \u003cbr\u003eAIR Kev combines the comfort and durability of titanium with the stiffness of carbon, to give you a responsive high-end gravel race bike with comfort where it counts. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuy with Confidence \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurve titanium frames come with a Lifetime Warranty so that you can be sure the bike you love most will be the bike you love the longest. We design every Curve product at our Abbotsford headquarters, independently lab test them beyond industry standards (ISO 4210), and then perform real-world tests under the most demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur sales director, Ryan Flinn, toured across Europe through the summer of 2023 with his AIR Kev, visiting Curve dealers, seeing the sights, shredding the trails and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrameset Includes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100.087%; height: 451.032px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eTitanium Curve AIR Kev\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 117.938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; height: 117.938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; height: 117.938px;\"\u003eCurve Race 415\u003cbr\u003eDropout Flip-Chips\u003cbr\u003eSteerer expander plug\u003cbr\u003eRace Ride Seek stem cap\u003cbr\u003eHand Painted in Melbourne\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eCurve Integrated 42\/52 mm semi-internal \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e(IS42\/28.6 | IS52\/40)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e3D-printed titanium, 31.8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 58.7812px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; height: 58.7812px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; height: 58.7812px;\"\u003eFront \u0026amp; Rear Thru-Axles (12x100mm \u0026amp; 12x142mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCustom 3D-printed titanium internal BB cable guide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2 x SRAM UDH hangers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAIR Kev Bundle Only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSeat Post Standard-sized 27.2 mm carbon seat post bonded to a custom 3D-printed titanium topper (0 or 20 mm setback)\u003cbr\u003eENVE 2-bolt seatpost hardware kit\u003cbr\u003eCarbon Walmer Bar\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 35%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Extras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eCurve 3D-printed Ti FD clamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQs \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I use SRAM Transmission?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYES!
