Katahdin
The first generation of the Katahdin has proven itself both in races, gravel events and in bikepacking trips. For its second iteration, the Katahdin gets a makeover with progressive gravel geometry and new features to make it even more versatile.
A relaxed 70deg steering angle, longer reach, 75mm bb drop and 430mm chainstays increase the wheelbase of the bike and place the rider in a stable and comfortable position. The goal is less fatigue, and more speed for long outings and / or races.
The internal cables for an adjustable seat post, the fork adapted to the use of a dynamo hub, a threaded bottom bracket shell and all the mounts necessary to install bags and accessories are among the features of the Katahdin.
The frame is dressed with the Hunt wheels fitted with Maxxis Rambler tires, as well as Shimano GRX 12 speed (offered in 1x or 2x) or SRAM Rival AXS groupset, which make for a versatile and efficient bike.

Katahdin Review by The Gravelist
Tim from The Gravelist puts the Katahdin at test, watch the full review.
On The Media
BikeGearDatabase
“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.”
