Meet the 2027 Cobalt Bikes Lineup: Built Around Your Ride

Cobalt Marauder AXS

A fast group ride. A gravel road that disappears into the mountains. A ribbon of singletrack worth climbing for. Whatever gets you out the door, your bike should make you want to go farther.

The 2027 Cobalt Bikes lineup brings together six carbon bike platforms spanning road, all-road, gravel, cross-country and trail riding, alongside titanium gravel and mountain bike frames. Each has a distinct purpose, with the freedom to shape the build around your fit, terrain and ambitions.

Here’s where each Cobalt can take you.

Warhawk: Fast Gravel. Big Clearance. Built Around You.

Gravel racing is only part of the story. The Warhawk is equally at home on long mountain roads, mixed-surface adventures and rides where the best turn is the one you haven’t taken before.

Warhawk — 2027 Frame Features

First introduced in 2026, the latest Warhawk evolves our earlier gravel platform with revised geometry, a cleaner integrated front end and modern drivetrain compatibility, while retaining the big-tire versatility that made the original such a capable adventure bike.

Revised geometry and fit. A more sloping top tube and updated stack-and-reach progression give the new frame a different fit from the previous generation. Head angles vary by size, with a slacker front end in the smaller sizes. 

A cleaner front end. Integrated cable routing and a larger upper headset standard create a streamlined connection between frame and cockpit, with fewer exposed cables.

UDH and modern drivetrain compatibility. The Universal Derailleur Hanger interface simplifies replacement-hanger sourcing and supports compatible SRAM Full Mount drivetrains, expanding the options for your next gravel build.

Adventure capability carried forward. Clearance remains up to 700 × 50 mm or 650B × 2.1 inches. A BSA threaded bottom bracket, 27.2 mm seatpost, dropper-ready routing and rack and fender mounts preserve the Warhawk’s versatility for racing, bikepacking and exploration.

If your favorite rides begin when the pavement ends, start here.

Marauder: Fast Pavement. Room to Explore.

Some rides refuse to stay in one category. A morning on pavement becomes an afternoon on country roads, with a smooth gravel shortcut connecting the two.

That’s Marauder territory.

Our carbon all-road bike balances responsive road riding with the versatility to explore beyond pavement. Build it toward fast road miles or choose tires and gearing that make mixed-surface routes part of your everyday riding.

Marauder — 2027 Frame Features

The all new 2027 Marauder introduces our new SL carbon all-road frame—a versatile foundation for fast pavement rides, gravel routes and cyclocross builds.

Lightweight carbon construction. A blend of T800 and T1000 carbon fiber brings the published medium-frame weight to approximately 1,000 g, with a fork weighing approximately 420 g. Actual weights vary with size and finish.

Race-oriented geometry. The platform combines racing geometry with all-road versatility, making it an appealing choice for riders who want one bike for road training, mixed-surface adventures and cyclocross.

Versatile tire clearance. Fit tires up to 700 × 42 mm or 650B × 47 mm. Choose road tires for pavement speed, gravel tread for exploring or a cyclocross setup for race season.

UDH compatibility. The Universal Derailleur Hanger interface simplifies replacement-hanger sourcing and supports compatible SRAM Full Mount drivetrains.

Integrated routing. Internal cable routing creates a clean, streamlined connection between frame and cockpit.

Threaded T47 bottom bracket. The T47-68 standard combines a large-diameter bottom-bracket interface with threaded installation. 

Fast on pavement, ready for gravel and suitable for cyclocross—the Marauder opens up more ways to ride.

Spitfire: Made for the Road Ahead.

There’s a particular satisfaction in a good road bike: the response when you accelerate, the rhythm of a long climb and the feeling of carrying speed through a sweeping corner.

The Spitfire is built for those moments.

Clean cockpit integration. Fully internal routing gives the frame and front end a cohesive appearance, keeping exposed cables to a minimum.

Modern tire options. Clearance for tires up to 700 × 32 mm allows you to tailor comfort and grip to your roads and riding preferences.

Practical standards. A BSA threaded bottom bracket, 27.2 mm seatpost, disc brakes and thru-axles provide straightforward component choices for a custom road build.

For riders who love the road, the Spitfire keeps the focus exactly where it belongs.

Diablo: Light, Direct and Ready for Dirt.

The Diablo combines a light carbon hardtail chassis with modern XC geometry, generous tire clearance and drivetrain compatibility that supports a wide range of builds.

Modern XC geometry. A 75-degree seat angle and 69-degree head angle combine a forward pedaling position with a front end suited to cross-country trails. The standard complete-bike build uses a 120 mm suspension fork.

Room for bigger tires. Clearance for 29 × 2.6-inch or 27.5 × 2.8-inch tires gives you options for tuning traction, comfort and trail capability.

UDH and T-Type compatibility. The universal hanger interface supports conventional hanger-mounted derailleurs and compatible SRAM Full Mount drivetrains.

Built for personalization. Boost rear spacing, a BSA 73 mm threaded bottom bracket and a 30.9 mm seatpost standard support modern XC components and dropper-post choices.

Choose Diablo for lively pedaling and a direct connection to the trail.
