Enigma Eikon £12,229 as tested | 7.8kg

The Eikon is the latest offering from titanium specialist Enigma. It is part of their Signature range, meaning the frame is ‘proudly made in Sussex, England reflecting commitment to quality and craftsmanship here in the UK’. Not only that, the 3AL/2.5V titanium tubing comes from iconic British company Reynolds, with this particular frame painted in Reynolds’ green and yellow to reflect the collaboration. This is a fast summer bike, with long days ridden with speed and comfort at its heart.

Construction

It’s not until you see the titanium frame firsthand that you appreciate how gorgeous it looks. I’ve seen some fantastic paint jobs in my time, and this is right up there. It really glistens in the sun and has a stunning depth to it.
