Katahdin 2.1
Reserve your Katahdin now. Use the code KATDEPOSIT to make a deposit of 50% of the total amount. Delivery of bikes at the end of June.
The Katahdin: Rugged. Adaptable. Functional.
The Katahdin is not a bike that puts the rider in an ultra-aggressive or stretched-out position. It features a frame with a relatively tall stack and a long wheelbase, designed to provide a comfortable riding position and enhanced stability for long hours in the saddle.
The Katahdin is not a fragile or featherweight gravel bike. Tested to mountain bike standards, it offers above-average durability and instant pedaling responsiveness thanks to its high stiffness.
The Katahdin doesn’t rely on unique or complex technologies. Every component is standard, easy to maintain, and simple to replace — a major advantage when heading out into remote areas with peace of mind.
Whether you're embarking on long self-supported adventures, tackling ultra-distance events, or going on bikepacking trips, the Katahdin is built to last and perform.
(This new generation of the Katahdin features a UDH derailleur hanger and increased tire clearance. For added comfort, options like Redshift components and the Cane Creek suspension fork are also available.)

That's why we offer a full 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Then, if an accident, fall or impact causes damage to the frame, you'll be covered by our lifetime crash replacement policy. Simply return the frame to us, and we'll assess whether repair is possible or replacement is necessary, at the lowest possible cost.

Panorama Katahdin
CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING GEOMETRY
The progressive geometry — featuring a slack head angle, long wheelbase, extended reach, and shorter stem — is inspired by mountain biking. Combined with a tall stack that puts the rider in a comfortable position, the goal is less fatigue and more speed on long rides.
Main Features
TESTED ACCORDING TO MOUNTAIN BIKE STANDARDS
High strength and durable composite laminate. Tested to ISO mountain bike standards. Take it on rough terrain or bikepacking with confidence.
TIRE CLEARANCE
A new fork offers clearance for a 29x2.25 (57mm) tire, and the frame can accept a 50mm tire.
UDH / T-Type
Compatible with SRAM T-Type transmission. UDH derailleur hanger for easy replacement.
INTERNAL ROUTING FOR DYNAMO HUB
The fork is designed for use with a dynamo hub. A mount on the front of the fork is also present to secure a light.
THREADED BOTTOM BRACKET
A BSA threaded bottom bracket for low-maintenance and noise-free use.
MULTIPLE MOUNTING POINTS
Ready to be equipped for a short or a long bikepacking outing with its many mounts: 3 bottle cages, top tube bag, mounting points for cargo cages on the carbon fork and rear luggage rack.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING FOR DROPPER POST
Inlet at the head tube to accommodate internal cable routing for an adjustable seat post.
FULL INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Full length internal cable routing so rain and dust don’t affect performance. Easy maintenance thanks to an opening under the bottom bracket.

The story behind the illustration
Garter Snake
A snake embodying the agility and strength of Katahdin, while echoing a Mi’kmaq legend: that of a snake who, after swallowing a venomous toad, coils itself around the Clintonia Borealis — a plant emblematic of our eastern forests — to pass on its poison.

“When the route hit some flatter, flowy gravel track the bike was in its element. I was able to not worry about the tire size and really open the Katahdin up. It was whippy, snappy, responsive and most importantly, it was fun as hell. The frame stiffness and power transfer of the bike seems to be off the charts. Whether that’s while climbing, or up out of the saddle in a sprint—the Katahdin wants to move.” Read the complete review here.
“After all those adventures the bike proved to be a real gem. Was it a road bike? A gravel bike? An adventure bike? A touring bike? A mountain bike? After everything I put it through, I would say yes to all.”
“The second generation Panorama Katahdin focuses on increased versatility, only slightly diverging from its roots as a gravel race bike. While the carbon bones of the Katahdin remain the same, Panorama Cycles updated it with a more relaxed geometry that’s based on a longer fork, a slightly slackened head tube angle, and a longer overall wheelbase.”
“Le Katahdin s’adresse au voyageur qui désire avoir une monture de bikepacking capable d’en prendre. C’est un beau vélo conçu pour les imprévus et le dur labeur. En prime, le dessin sur le tube diagonal lui donne une personnalité forte.”
“… le testant dans certaines des pires conditions des hautes Laurentides, notamment en passant à travers un sentier improvisé parsemé de fossés. Résultat : c’est un vrai tank. Il traverse toutes les situations.
Léger, robuste et très joli, le vélo nous a séduits.”
