Touring & Endurance
Steep climbs to open roads
Mercian touring bikes are built for riders who seek new horizons. Designed for long rides, loaded trips, and day-long adventures, these bikes balance comfort, reliability, and classic craftsmanship.
From café loops to cross-country tours, Mercian touring bikes are made to go the distance. Classic designs like the Audax and King of Mercia combine comfort, versatility, and timeless craftsmanship. Whether you're chasing hills, riding sportives, or setting off on a round-the-world adventure, these frames deliver smooth, responsive miles with unmistakable style.
For a sleeker, contemporary option, the Pro Lugless frame delivers modern geometry and exceptional responsiveness, perfect for long-haul tours, sportives, and endurance rides. Together, these models prove that steel touring bikes are built for the journey, not just
the destination.
At Mercian, we’re proving that steel is still the ultimate ride companion. Our hand-built frames aren’t heavy old relics — they’re fast, responsive, and lightweight. With complete bikes averaging around 9.5kg, you’ll get all the comfort and durability of steel with the kind of performance you'd expect from carbon. Smooth, strong, and made to last a lifetime.
Make it yours with our bike configurator.
Choose from a range of colours and decals to create a frame that’s uniquely you. Experiment with paint options and visualise your perfect ride before it’s handcrafted by our team.
