We’re redefining what fast and stylish looks like.
Choosing your next bike is time well spent. One tab becomes twelve. You start comparing geometry charts. Somehow, you are looking at another wheelset.
So, let us make the case for this one.
In the video, Gloria crew members Mael and Jaco sit down at The Archive to talk through how the Gloria Pantera brings together titanium, a sporting road-bike character and the kind of details you appreciate once the bike becomes part of your week. Fast rides. Long rides. Sunday rides with a fairly generous coffee stop.
From its distinctive seat mast and integrated handlebar to its comfort, build options and readiness for year-round riding, there is plenty to get into. Here are 10 reasons why the Pantera is the right choice for your next titanium road bike.
01 / 10 Integrated titanium seat mast
That seat mast.
Take a look at the Pantera from the side. The seat mast is probably the first thing you notice. It gives the frame a distinctive, uninterrupted outline, alongside those round titanium tubes and the near-horizontal top tube.
It is a lovely detail to build a bike around. Quietly different, with enough character that you will recognise yours leaning outside the café.
The seat mast is part of the Pantera frame and comes included with the Pantera frameset, alongside the carbon fork and integrated carbon handlebar. Start there, then choose the components that make it yours.
02 / 10 Crit-inspired road bike geometry
It likes a little pace.
There is always that moment on a ride. Someone lifts the pace, the road opens up, and suddenly everyone has stopped talking.
In the video, the team describes the Pantera as Gloria’s most aggressive road bike yet, with geometry inspired by crit riding. That is the sporting side of its personality: a bike designed for the days you feel like pushing on.
You can hear the enthusiasm when Mael and the team talk about it. It is the sort of bike that gets you thinking about your next ride.
03 / 10 Road comfort for longer rides
You will still want the long way home.
A quick hour has a habit of becoming three when the roads are good. Comfort starts to matter quite a lot around then.
The Pantera pairs its sporting geometry with a higher stack, bringing a more accommodating position into the mix. The aim is a road bike you can enjoy when the pace rises and when the miles start adding up.
That leaves room for the other kind of Sunday, too. An easy start, a familiar route and a catch-up with friends. Riding at your own pace is part of the appeal.

04 / 10 Grade 9 titanium frame and lifetime warranty
Titanium makes sense for the long run.
Some bike decisions are about the coming season. This one can be about the years ahead.
The frame uses butted Grade 9 titanium, with a brushed finish that lets the material show. Titanium’s resistance to corrosion makes it a sensible choice for a bike you intend to keep riding through changing weather.
The Pantera also comes with a lifetime frame warranty, subject to Gloria’s warranty terms. Pick a build you love, look after it and give it plenty of miles.
05 / 10 700 x 35c tyre clearance
There is room for real roads.
Perfect tarmac is a treat. Most of us also have that stretch near home that seems to get a little rougher every winter.
The Pantera has clearance for tyres up to 700 x 35c, giving you room to choose a setup around the roads you actually ride. That extra choice is useful when comfort matters as much as pace.
Your wheel and tyre combination affects the final fit. Tell us what you have in mind and we can help you work it out.
06 / 10 Hidden mudguard mounts for winter riding
The forecast does not get the final say.
You have found a gap in the day. You have remembered where you left your gloves. A bit of rain feels like a poor reason to waste all that organisation.
Hidden mudguard mounts are built into the Pantera, with published clearance for 32c tyres with mudguards. It is a practical detail for wet commutes, winter training and the ride you had already decided to do.
A road bike that fits into your year is a bike you get to enjoy more often.
A little workshop chat
The Gloria Pantera video: seat mast, fit and builds
Pull up a chair at The Archive. The team talks through the Pantera with head mechanic Mael, from the seat mast and bike fit to gearing and putting a build together.

07 / 10 Integrated carbon handlebar
An integrated handlebar that looks the part.
Your cockpit is something you look at for a fair few hours. It should feel right in your hands and make sense with the rest of the bike.
The Gloria Pantera Integrated Handlebar brings a carbon bar and stem together in one piece, with shaped tops and drops and a clean profile. It is a fitting partner for the titanium frame.
The bar is available separately if you are planning a compatible build. Check dimensions, fit and routing with Gloria before ordering.
The integrated carbon handlebar is already included with the Pantera frameset.
08 / 10 Titanium road frameset build options
You can build it your way.
Perhaps you already have a wheelset you love. Perhaps choosing every component is half the fun. We understand both.
The Pantera frameset includes the titanium frame with seat mast, carbon fork and integrated carbon handlebar. You choose the wheels, groupset and finishing components that turn it into your bike.
The frame also uses a threaded BSA bottom bracket and a UDH hanger. In the video, Mael explains the build process, including the extra care needed to route brake hoses through the integrated cockpit.
Bring your parts list. We will happily talk bikes with you.
09 / 10 1x or 2x gearing: Dura-Ace, SRAM Red and Force
Your gearing can suit your riding.
The 1x or 2x conversation can happily fill an entire café stop.
In the video, the team talks through Shimano Dura-Ace 2x, SRAM Red 1x and SRAM Force 1x builds. Mael explains the appeal of a single chainring, including simpler cleaning and one less derailleur to look after.
Your routes, preferred gear steps and riding style matter here. Tell Gloria about them and confirm the current build options together. There is plenty to enjoy about choosing the details.
10 / 10 Bike fit and seat mast topper options
You get help making it yours.
A great-looking bike gets your attention. The right fit is what makes you want to ride it again tomorrow. Start with Gloria’s sizing and bike-fit guide, then bring your measurements.
The video explains the Pantera’s seat mast topper options: two heights, with zero or 20 mm setback. The team strongly recommends bringing your bike-fit measurements before ordering, so frame size, saddle position and cockpit can be considered together.
Have a question about your setup? Ask us. A phone call, an email or a chat at The Archive can help turn a bike you like into a build that makes sense for you.
Gloria Pantera: price, weight and practical questions
How much does the Gloria Pantera titanium road bike cost?
The UK listing starts at £5,999 for a SRAM Force build. The Pantera frameset is listed at £2,799. Prices checked on 22 October 2026; confirm the current price and specification before ordering.
How much do the Pantera frame and frameset weigh?
The complete-bike product page lists a 1.8 kg frame and a 2.2 kg frameset, both in size 56. These are frame and frameset figures, not complete-bike weights. Your finished bike’s weight depends on its wheels, groupset and other components. Check the current Pantera specifications with Gloria for your chosen build.
Titanium vs carbon road bike: is the Pantera right for me?
Neither material wins for every rider. With the Pantera, look at the fit, published weight, 35c tyre clearance, mudguard mounts and the build you want. Those details are a useful way to decide whether this titanium road bike fits your riding.
Can I use Cycle to Work, and what about lead times?
Read Gloria’s Cycle to Work information and current lead times and availability. The team will confirm timing for your specific Pantera build. For payment information, see the Klarna FAQs and eligibility terms.
What comes with the Pantera frameset?
The titanium frame with seat mast, carbon fork and integrated carbon handlebar. Wheels, groupset, brakes, tyres, saddle and pedals are not included.
Should I order a separate handlebar with the frameset?
The integrated carbon handlebar is already included. The separate handlebar listing is there for individual purchases and compatible builds.
Can Gloria help with size and specification?
Yes. Bring your current bike-fit measurements and the components you are considering. Confirm fit, compatibility and the current build specification with the team before ordering.
Ten reasons. Plenty of rides ahead.
READY TO MAKE IT YOURS?
Maybe it was the seat mast. Maybe it was the thought of one bike for quick evenings and long Sundays. If the Pantera sounds like your sort of road bike, let us work out your build.
The frameset includes the integrated handlebar.
