Kirk
Fast and forgiving gravel master
The Kirk very much shares its DNA with the Stooshie but instead is designed around suspension and dampening to allow for taming of trail to give you more control without developing fatigue.
Designed and built specifically around the suspension and dropper seatposts, a Kirk is a capable machine without sacrificing any light weight lustre of Columbus tubing.

AVAILABLE TO ORDER NOW!
Built from high-spec custom Life tubing from legendary Italian tube manufacturers Columbus, we wanted this bike to be an antidote to the void between gravel and mountain bike. Now you don’t have to sacrifice fatigued hands and bums for the sake of ultimate endurance capabilities.
The Kirk fulfils the precious need for some form of dampening and adjustability to be possible through freshly launched products from both Rockshox and Redshift, based around our favourite Stooshie, geometry has been tweaked, more clearance has been made available, giving a steed that can ultimately tackle fairly foreboding terrain.
Adaptability has been bestowed upon the frame itself, bottle bosses on the front of top tube, anything mounts on both downtube and seat tube, external alloy bale guides, Polydrop dropouts enabling a array of axle options show below and rack/mudguard mounts, dropper hose port and split rear plate to enable a carbon belt drive to be utilised.
Dropout options: –
- Sram AXS Wireless drivetrain
- 135×10 QR
- 142×12 bolt-thru
- Either dropper combo with Rudy or Redshift combo suspension seatpost/suspension stem
- Derailleur (including direct mount)
- Post and Flat disc brake mounts
- Integrated frame splitter for beltdrive if you ever wanted to change setup
As with the majority of Shand bikes, modular cable routing and rear PolyDrop dropouts can be changed to be compatible with single speed or derailleur drivetrains at a later date.
Kirk version with Rockshox combo will retail at £5495
