Our take
Riding the 2016 Independent Fabrication Planet X Titanium Gravel Bike, it's clear this machine was built to last. The titanium frame feels incredibly sturdy yet responsive, perfect for tackling varied terrain without feeling sluggish. The 61cm size is ideal for taller riders, offering a comfortable and efficient pedaling position. While the mechanical rim brakes are effective, they do require more hand strength and offer less modulation compared to hydraulic disc systems, which is a consideration for long descents or very wet conditions. Overall, it's a solid choice for someone seeking a durable gravel companion with a timeless build.
