The Pantera: Your Next Road Bike Starts Here

Titanium at heart.Speed in its nature.Yours for the long run.

Your next bike starts with a familiar thought.

A quicker ride before work. A longer route on Sunday. A bike you catch yourself looking back at when you leave it outside the café.

The Gloria Pantera titanium road bike brings those thoughts together. Road-focused geometry, a distinctive seat mast and the freedom to build something that feels like yours.

If your riding includes fast club runs, long weekends and the occasional forecast you would rather ignore, the Pantera deserves a place at the top of your list.


Inside The Archive

MEET THE PANTERA.

At The Archive, the Gloria team sits down with head mechanic Mael to talk through the bike: its shape, its ride and the choices behind the build.

Watch the conversation below, from the seat mast and riding position to the practical details that matter when you start putting your own bike together.

A LITTLE MORE REASON
TO PUSH ON.

There is something satisfying about a bike that makes you look forward to the next stretch of road.

In the video, the team describes the Pantera’s geometry as taking inspiration from crit bikes, with a higher stack to bring comfort into the picture. That combination gives the bike its purpose: spirited road riding, with room for the longer day.

The early turn with your club. The climb you keep coming back to. The extra loop when you still have something left.

That is the kind of riding we had in mind.

Good roads. Good company. Another reason to head out.

TITANIUM.
A GOOD PLACE TO BEGIN.

The Pantera starts with butted Grade 9 titanium tubing, finished in brushed titanium.

Its round tubes and near-horizontal top tube give it a familiar road-bike outline. The seat mast and integrated front end bring a different character to that silhouette.

Choose the wheels. Choose the gearing. Work out the details that suit your roads.

The frame is where that build begins.

FOR THE ROADS
YOU ACTUALLY RIDE.

Smooth tarmac is always welcome. Your bike should also make sense when the surface and the weather change.

The Pantera has clearance for 700 x 35c tyres, or 32c with mudguards, with hidden mudguard mounts built into the frame.

That gives you useful choices when planning your setup: a road bike for summer evenings, winter miles and the rides that happen somewhere between the two.

Select your tyres around your wheels, your roads and the conditions you expect to ride in. Final clearance depends on the wheel and tyre combination.

MADE FOR YOUR SUNDAY RIDE.

An easy start. Good company. A coffee stop along the way.

The Pantera brings its sporting character to the rides you take at your own pace, too. A relaxed Sunday with friends. A favourite route. An extra loop before heading home.

Your components. Your choices.

START WITH THE FRAMESET.
MAKE THE BUILD YOURS.

Already have a wheelset you love? Know which groupset you want to ride?

The Gloria Pantera Frameset gives you a starting point for a custom titanium road bike. It includes the titanium frame with seat mast, carbon fork and integrated carbon handlebar.

You choose the wheels, groupset and finishing components that complete it. Wheels, groupset, brakes, tyres, saddle and pedals are not included.

The threaded BSA bottom bracket is another practical detail for the build. In the video, Mael talks through assembly and explains where an integrated cockpit needs a little more care when routing brake hoses.

Bring your ideas. Bring your current setup. We are happy to talk through what works together.

THE FINISH STARTS
AT THE FRONT.

The Gloria Pantera Integrated Handlebar combines a carbon handlebar and stem in one cockpit.

Its shaped tops and drops give you different hand positions as the road changes, while the integrated design keeps the front end visually clean.

It is also available separately. If you are considering it for an existing bike, speak to Gloria about fit, dimensions and compatibility before ordering.

The integrated handlebar is already included with the Pantera frameset.

GET THE FIT RIGHT.

A bike becomes yours through the way it fits as much as the components you choose.

The video explains the Pantera’s seat mast options, including different heights and setback choices. The team recommends bringing bike-fit measurements before ordering, so the frame and cockpit can be considered together.

Start with your position. Build from there.

A few things worth knowing

BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE.

What is the Gloria Pantera?

The Gloria Pantera is a titanium road bike with butted Grade 9 tubing, a distinctive seat mast and geometry that combines a sporting character with a higher stack. It is designed for road riding throughout the year.

Can I buy the Pantera without a complete build?

Yes. The Gloria Pantera Frameset includes the titanium frame with seat mast, carbon fork and integrated carbon handlebar. You choose the remaining components. This is a frameset, rather than a bare-frame-only listing.

Can I buy the integrated handlebar separately?

Yes. The Gloria Pantera Integrated Handlebar is sold separately as a carbon handlebar and stem combination. Check sizing and bike compatibility with Gloria before ordering. It is already included if you purchase the Pantera frameset.

What tyre size does the Pantera accept?

The published tyre clearance is up to 700 x 35c, or 32c with mudguards. Check your specific wheel and tyre combination when planning the build.

How should I choose my frame size?

Bring your bike-fit measurements to Gloria before ordering. Saddle height, reach and cockpit choices should be considered together, particularly with the seat mast design.
