Revel x Wheels Manufacturing: A Teal Titanium Tirade Bound for Cyclingworld Europe

There are bike builds, and then there are bikes that stop people in their tracks.

Our latest collaboration with Revel Bikes lands firmly in that second category. We teamed up to put together a titanium Revel Tirade dressed head to toe in teal Wheels Manufacturing components, creating a build that feels equal parts trail machine, showpiece, and love letter to modern mountain bike design. And now, we’re bringing it to Cyclingworld Europe in Düsseldorf, Germany, March 20–22, 2026 to help show off a little of what Colorado does best. (CYCLINGWORLD EUROPE)

If you know Revel, you know they don’t do boring. The Tirade is their titanium 29er hardtail, built around modern trail capability with the clean feel and ride quality only titanium can deliver. Revel describes it as a bike inspired by their Rascal, made for riders who want the capability of a longer-travel bike with the simple beauty of a titanium hardtail. It is also single-speed compatible thanks to Revel’s sliding dropout design, which made it a perfect canvas for this project. (Revel Bikes)

That single-speed compatibility was our cue to have a little fun.

For this build, we decked the Tirade out with a full spread of teal Wheels Manufacturing parts to create something that feels cohesive, custom, and unapologetically eye-catching. The build features our SRAM 3-bolt chainring, Stack Right headset spacers and top cap, water bottle cage bolts, BSA 29mm bottom bracket, SOLO-XD single-speed conversion kit, thru axles, and seatpost clamp. The result is a titanium hardtail with a clean, purposeful look that still hits hard from ten feet away. This one is all about the details. From the cockpit to the rear hub, every accent works together to bring the bike to life.

What makes this project especially fun is how naturally the Tirade lines up with what we love to build at Wheels. Revel’s titanium platform is packed with modern touches, including an integrated headset, thru-axles, internal cable routing, threaded bottom bracket, and UDH-compatible sliding dropouts. On the Tirade specifically, Revel calls out its “rowdy titanium hardtail” personality, 29-inch wheels, and sliding dropouts that make a single-speed setup completely at home here. In other words, this is not some forced show build. This bike makes sense, and that is what makes it so good. (Revel Bikes)

And then there is the setting.

Cyclingworld Europe has grown into one of Europe’s major bicycle shows, held at Areal Böhler in Düsseldorf, with more than 400 exhibitor stands and 500 brands expected for 2026. It is exactly the kind of place where a build like this belongs. Not tucked away in a corner. Out in the open, where people can walk up, lean in, and start picking apart every teal detail on a titanium frame that already has plenty to say on its own. (CYCLINGWORLD EUROPE)

For us, this project is bigger than a display bike. It is a chance to team up with another Colorado brand, build something special, and bring that energy overseas. Colorado has always had its own way of doing things when it comes to bikes. A little dirt under the fingernails. A little style. A lot of function. This Revel Tirade captures all of that in one build.

If you’re heading to Cyclingworld Europe, come find us and check it out in person. Photos are one thing. Standing next to a tealed-out titanium Tirade is another.

Colorado to Düsseldorf. Let’s go.
