For 2025 we’ve teamed up with East Coast Airbrush to offer you the chance to get your own fully custom painted Aeris AM, Forge or Aerelon.

How Does It Work?

Custom paint is a variable thing. It’s hard to pin down a price as we don’t know how long it will take until we know. Expect to pay a minimum of £700 for a custom paint including wrap kit.

To start the process get in touch with us at info@bird.bike or call us on 0333 444 0629. We’ll put you in touch with Kev at ECA and you can have a chat on what you’d like. Once we have a rough plan, we can generate you a cost.

You order the bike you want from us, and you’ll agree a price with Kev which we’ll add to the bill. We then supply a paintable frame in your chosen model and size to ECA for around 3-4 weeks, after which its returned to us. Kev will keep you in the loop on progress, as well as send you shots of the bike as it happens in order you can make adjustments if needed.

When its done we’ll QC the paint for you, and subject to it being all good, we’ll build the bike (or pre the frame) and ship it onto you.

The cost of the paintwork will include a factory fitted RideWrap kit to keep your fresh new paintjob looking its best for a long time to come.

For 2025 we’re stretching those legs, dusting off the lycra and hitting the (gravel) roads. When considering our first gravel bike, first and foremost, we wanted to deliver one bike that could cut it on the road or off-road equally. Although most people might have expected a dropped bar mountain bike style from us, when we looked at what we actually ride when it comes to our gravel bikes (and we do ride a lot of gravel here at the factory), we found it was a mix of road and off-road in equal measures, and the common thread was always the distance. Gravel rides are generally long, and gravel racing even longer. 60−200km is the norm not the exception.

With that in mind the new Aerelon straddles the all road and gravel categories of bikes when it comes to geometry. We’ve set the trail at a neutral number for handling and a compact wheelbase thats sharp enough on the road, without feeling dangerous off. Generous stack heights pair with modest reach numbers for a comfy ride thats not too stretched out and a solid weight distribution for descending. Ultra versatile mounts are plentiful, so you can load, or just go, but whichever you choose the Aerelon is dependable, comfy and fast.

With 5 launch sizes for initial launch and 3 more sizes more planned we’re covering all bases right down to a youth focused 650b.

Incredible Value Meets Cutting Edge Tech

For the Aerelon we wanted to ensure that the frame design was future proof from the outset, as well as not excluding people wanting to buy frame and fork only set ups and porting older parts onto that. Thats why the Aerelon features:

• Full monocoque Toray carbon frame and fork
• 6 mounting zones for bags, bottles and cargo
• Detachable mount for mudguard
• UDH For direct mount drivetrain compatibility including Transmission/AXS XPLR 13 Spd.
