The Dresden-based bike manufacturer Veloheld presents two new bikes. Well, they're not new, but they have been given a few updates: the veloheld.iconX Titan gravel bike and the veloheld.iron hardtail MTB. Both models are good all-rounders that impress both technically and visually and make the hearts of bike enthusiasts beat faster.

With the new veloheld.iconX Titan, the Dresden-based bike brand shows what its interpretation of a perfect bikepacking gravel bike looks like. Made from high-quality titanium, the frame offers a mixture of lightness, stability and durability. This makes it the ideal companion for gravel, all-road and bikepacking adventures. The carbon fork, which allows the forward travel to be adjusted, also contributes to this. What's more, every titanium bike has a special air of exclusivity about it. The veloheld.iconX is available as a complete bike and as a frameset.

New on the 2025 model are screw-on points on the top tube to which a top tube bag can be attached without having to put annoying straps around the frame. Thanks to the new T47 bottom bracket, the cables are now routed semi-integrated through the bottom bracket. The frame offers space for tyres up to 50 millimetres wide on 28" wheels. This means that the terrain on which the bike is travelling can also be rough. The complete bike is fitted with Schwalbe G-One Allround tyres with a width of 45 millimetres.

The veloheld.iconX Titan is visually impressive with polished logos on the matt titanium frame, giving the bike a timeless look. The frame is complemented by a carbon fork with adjustable fork travel. Together with the Shimano gears, this should ensure precise handling and efficient power transmission on any terrain. Customised configurations are possible.
