Running through the Rocky Mountains in both Canada and the United States, the Great Divide is home to some of the most challenging and beautiful roads of North America. Our namesake frame shares this cross-border connection having been designed in Canada and hand-built in the USA to tackle any length and pitch of road.
The Great Divide has been designed to showcase the best characteristics of titanium while embracing the latest developments in frame design. 22mm chain stays and an oversized, bi-ovalized down tube are bridged by a T47 threaded bottom bracket shell to provide stiffness and instant response under power. An oversized head tube accommodates the latest tapered forks while strengthening the bike’s front end for confidence-inspiring steering precision and cornering stability. The Great Divide offers a perfect mix of responsiveness without compromising the ride quality that titanium is legendary for.
"... being racy enough for a competitive rider but compliant and pleasant enough for long days in the saddle. Where No. 22 has really achieved its target, though, is that this is a titanium bike that doesn’t have to rely on good looks to be a worthwhile purchase. With some Ti bikes, nostalgia and a desire to be alternative persuade us to overlook some of the performance sacrifices, but the Great Divide can perform every bit as well as similarly pitched carbon bikes, with the metallic benefits being simply a bonus."
The Great Divide includes as standard what most builders charge extra for. Every Great Divide includes:
- Fully butted tubeset, butted in-house by CNC
- Oversized head tube for tapered carbon forks
- Brushed and blasted frame graphics, with no decals or stickers
- Ten year warranty against manufacturing defects

- Full carbon No. 22 fork designed specifically for our frames
- Generous clearance for 30mm tires

All No. 22 frames are finished completely in-house, and are available in a broad range of finish options from classic Raw, to colorful Anodized, to stunning Cerakote and Anodized combinations.
Every No. 22 frame comes with our Raw finish as standard. We never use stickers or decals for our graphics: the raw finish uses a mix of polished and blasted graphics to show off titanium's natural lustre in a timeless, durable way. Frames with Raw graphics include all of the same graphic details as our anodized finishes, but without the color.
Our models span many types of riding and often have talents bridging from one area to another. Our Discipline Chart helps explain which models are best for your particular riding.
