Taïga 2 | Trail / Bikepacking Bike
The Taïga is a trail-focused hardtail, perfectly suited for bikepacking. It is a versatile frame developed to cover long distances, climb efficiently, and remain stable when the terrain turns technical. In short, the Taïga is a refined steel bike you’ll be happy to return to season after season.
Equally at home on daily trail rides or multi-day adventures, the Taïga climbs exceptionally well, delivers precise handling in technical sections, and inspires confidence on demanding descents. It is optimized for 120 to 140 mm suspension forks for efficiency, performance, and comfort.
Built from Reynolds 725 steel, the frame uses butted tubing to reduce weight while maximizing strength. Each frame size receives a size-specific tube selection, ensuring optimal performance while preserving the lively ride quality and comfort that steel is known for.
If you’re looking for a simple yet progressive hardtail that solves trail challenges, adapts effortlessly to bikepacking, and gives you confidence when the terrain gets rough, the Taïga is built for you. Owning a bike you genuinely love to ride makes all the difference, and this is exactly that bike.

Product information
We're proud to offer products for which every detail has been thought through and validated.
We offer a warranty that covers the owner of a Panorama bike for life. First of all, should a manufacturing issue arise, this defect will typically surface quickly in the life of the bike. 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.
Return the bike after 10 days of testing if anything is not up to your expectations. Your satisfaction (and especially your fun outdoor) is at the top of our priorities. See the Terms of Sale for more information.

Panorama Taïga 2
MULTIFUNCTION TRAIL GEOMETRY
Modern geometry offering the fun and performance of a hardtail trail bike, combined with above average long-distance off-road adventure capabilities.
Main Features
REYNOLDS 725 TUBESET
Custom selection of Reynolds 725 steel tubing unique to each frame size. Tubes are butted in the right places to provide the comfort and enjoyment of riding a steel frame without the extra weight.
UDH / T-Type Sliding dropouts
Sliding dropouts compatible with SRAM T-Type transmission. UDH derailleur hanger for easy replacement.
REDESIGNED DROPOUTS
We redesigned the adjustable dropouts for three main reasons:
1. Increased rear triangle stiffness: the junction point with the seat stays has been moved closer to the wheel axle.
2. Improved durability: the adjustment screw has been upgraded from M3 to M4, making it stronger and easier to work with.
3. Refined design: we wanted to enhance the overall aesthetics of the rear end of the bike. We’re very proud of the result.
TIRE CLEARANCE
The CNC-machined yoke offers generous clearance for 29 x 2.8-inch tires with plenty of room left over for mud.
RAISED BOTTLE CAGE MOUNTS ON THE SEAT TUBE
To allow the use of a dropper seatpost while still mounting a bottle cage on the seat tube, we moved the mounts to the outside of the tube rather than the inside.
Thanks to this tiny detail, the seatpost can be inserted to its full depth without being obstructed by rivets.
SEAT STAY SPLIT FOR BELT DRIVE
The Taïga is an excellent candidate for a Rohloff belt drive setup.
An integrated opening in the seat stay makes this type of drivetrain configuration fully possible.
MULTIPLE MOUNTS
Ready to be equipped for a short or long bikepacking outing with its many mounts: 3 bottle mounts, top tube bag and rear rack.
