FAST, FUN, FREEDOM
The first U.P. combined the speed of a road bike with the ability to go anywhere, creating a whole new category. Now, the original U.P. features like dual wheel size compatibility and a dropped chainstay are the standard for high-performance gravel bikes.

The third generation of U.P. and U.P.P.E.R. frames are lighter, more agile and more fun than ever before. What's more, they still pass our ultimate test: we only offer frames that we want to ride ourselves.

And because we "work hard to stay small", you always speak directly to the people who designed the bikes.

WHAT IS THIS
U.P.(P.E.R.)?
With road tires, it's a very fast road bike
With large road/cross/gravel tires (32-40mm), it's a versatile bike that's perfect for riding on mixed surfaces and most gravel roads.
With 650b mountain bike tires, it is unstoppable on very difficult terrain and much faster than you would expect thanks to the road position on the asphalt.

The position allows you to get out of the city and ride fast on gravel, dirt roads and trails (unlike a mountain bike). The space for large tires allows you to tackle any trail (unlike a road bike). And you can do it with a single type of tire for everything or with multiple wheelsets or tires for fine-tuning.

TWO VERSIONS
The differences between the U.P. and the U.P.P.E.R. are weight and color:

The U.P.P.E.R. frameset saves approx. 180g compared to the U.P.
The U.P.P.E.R. is available in matt black, the U.P. in green and blue. Both are available in RTP (Ready-To-Paint) so that you can have them individually painted.

There is no difference between the U.P. and the U.P.P.E.R. in terms of geometry, durability, stiffness, tire clearance or performance.
