Gloria Cycling · Go beyond the usual
Rough trails, loaded bags and a reason to take the longer route. Meet your next titanium mountain bike.
You know the turn. The one you always ride past because you are not quite sure where it goes.
One day, you take it. The road gets quieter, the surface gets rougher and your carefully planned loop becomes something much more interesting.
That is the kind of riding we have in mind with the Gloria All Terrain: a titanium hardtail mountain bike for XC rides, off-road exploring and bikepacking plans that deserve to leave the group chat.
Looking for the best titanium bike for bikepacking? Here is why we would put the All Terrain at the top of your Gloria shortlist.
Our pick for a titanium MTB adventure.
For riders planning a mix of cross-country trails, longer off-road days and journeys with bags on the bike, our mountain bike choice is the Gloria All Terrain.
Its appeal is in the combination: a titanium frame, 29-inch wheels, room for mountain bike tyres and a choice of rigid or suspension-fork builds. You can shape the setup around your routes, rather than buying a bike and hoping your adventures fit it.
We think the best mountain bike earns its place by making you want to ride it again. Sometimes that means a quick local loop. Sometimes it means waking up a long way from home, unzipping the tent and remembering you get to do it all again.
01 · Room to explore
29er capability
The published All Terrain specification lists 29-inch wheels and tyres up to 29 × 2.4 inches. Choose tread, casing and pressure for your route and the complete wheel-and-fork setup.
02 · Choose your front end
Rigid or suspension
The frame is designed around 100–120 mm suspension-fork travel, with a compatible rigid carbon option also offered. Decide how you want to balance simplicity, trail feel and front-end control.
03 · Details that count
A practical foundation
A threaded 73 mm BSA bottom bracket and UDH hanger are part of the platform. These are useful details to consider when planning a custom titanium MTB build.
04 · Make it yours
Build around your riding
Start with a complete bike or explore a frameset. Work through size, cockpit, tyres and gearing with Gloria, then choose the available finish and component options that suit your plans.
Why a titanium hardtail for bikepacking?
There is a particular pleasure in a bike that feels like yours. The position is familiar. The gearing makes sense. You know where everything goes when it is time to pack.
The All Terrain gives that idea a mountain-bike starting point. Its Grade 9 3Al-2.5V titanium frame uses butted tubes, and the published build specification includes a 31.6 mm seatpost diameter with dropper-post compatibility.
For off-road bikepacking, think through the whole system: bags, water, tyres, gearing and the terrain between resupply stops. Fit matters just as much as the frame material. A comfortable position on a short spin should still make sense with your luggage and a longer day ahead.
A titanium adventure bike should be enjoyable on the rides you actually do. Build yours for those, with enough flexibility for the trip you have been talking about for months.
Three more reasons to take the long way
Pack for the ride. Leave room for the unexpected.
Your best bikepacking setup starts with the route. A lightweight overnight close to home and a remote multi-day ride need different preparations.
Begin with what must fit on the bike: sleeping kit, food, water, tools and layers. Check bag clearances and attachment points with your chosen frame size and fork. Keep room around moving parts and tyres, and confirm the intended luggage arrangement with Gloria.
Then take the loaded bike for a local ride. Climb something. Brake on a descent. Stop for coffee and discover which snack you buried at the bottom of the wrong bag. Better to make those discoveries near home.
The Gloria way: choose the terrain, find your fit and build the bike around the adventure.
Choose the fork for your kind of mountain biking.
Gloria offers the RockShox SID SL Ultimate in an All Terrain complete-bike configuration. The listed 29-inch fork has 100 mm travel and a Boost 15 × 110 mm axle.
For rougher XC routes, a suspension build is worth discussing. A compatible rigid carbon build takes a different approach to the front end. Let your usual surfaces, luggage plans and preferences guide that choice.

A Gloria titanium bottle cage is a simple addition to consider for carrying an accessible bottle. The published specification lists a weight of 33 g; mounting bolts are supplied separately.
Check cage position against your frame bag, then make sure the bottle is easy to reach and stays secure on the surfaces you ride.
Choosing between gravel and MTB?
Where does the RockShox Rudy fit?
The RockShox Rudy XPLR is a gravel fork, offered by Gloria in an All Gravel build. If your plans lean towards drop-bar gravel riding, that is another setup to explore. For the All Terrain, start with the MTB fork options specified for its frame.
Is the All Terrain your best mountain bike for bikepacking?
If your wish list starts with a titanium mountain bike, includes trail riding and leaves space for longer adventures with bags, the Gloria All Terrain deserves a closer look.
Start with the rides you want to do. Choose a size and a build that make sense for them. Then turn that saved route into a date in the diary.

Before you pack
Titanium MTB & bikepacking questions.
What is the best titanium mountain bike for bikepacking?
That depends on the route, fit, luggage and riding you enjoy. Within Gloria’s range, our choice for a titanium hardtail combining XC riding and off-road bikepacking is the All Terrain. Compare the complete build, tyre setup and luggage arrangements with your plans before choosing.
Is a hardtail good for bikepacking?
A hardtail is worth considering when your route combines off-road riding with carrying luggage. Plan the setup around the surface, distance and load. Try your All Terrain with the intended bags on a local ride before setting off, and confirm bag and mounting compatibility with Gloria.
Should I choose the Gloria All Terrain or All Gravel?
Start with the All Terrain if you want a mountain-bike platform for XC trails and off-road exploring. Look at All Gravel if you prefer a gravel-bike setup. Compare riding position, terrain, tyres, fork and luggage needs, then ask Gloria to help you choose between the two.
What size tyres can the All Terrain take?
The published All Terrain specification lists 29-inch wheels and tyres up to 29 × 2.4 inches. Confirm the actual tyre, rim and fork combination, allowing for the conditions and accessories you plan to use.
Can I fit a suspension fork to the All Terrain?
The published frame specification lists 100–120 mm suspension-fork travel. Gloria offers an All Terrain build with a 100 mm RockShox SID SL Ultimate. Confirm the complete fork specification and installation requirements for your frame and front wheel with the team.
Is the RockShox Rudy the fork for an All Terrain build?
The Rudy XPLR is a gravel fork. Gloria lists it with All Gravel, while SID SL Ultimate is offered for All Terrain. Start with the fork options specified for your model and ask the team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Can I customise my titanium hardtail?
Gloria offers configurable All Terrain builds and frame or frameset options. Discuss size, available finishes, components and luggage plans with the team. A custom build means choosing compatible parts for your needs; it does not automatically mean custom frame geometry.
Is a titanium bike worth it for long adventures?
Consider the complete bicycle: fit, geometry, tyre setup, gearing, price and ongoing support. The All Terrain is worth exploring if you want a titanium frame with mountain-bike capability and build choices. Select it for the rides you want to do, rather than the material name alone.
