Pässilä Bicycles | New Bespoke Titanium Frames From Finland
Here at IMB we’re suckers for a beautiful titanium frame and we’ve just had this press release come through from a relatively new, bespoke brand based out of Finland – Pässilä Bicycles. Full press release below:
Pässilä Bicycles is a small rider owned bike company from Finland. The company was founded by a group of five friends and mountain bikers to create ‘something else’. We’ve been in business since 2018 specializing in titanium bikes and frames. Over the course of the past two years we’ve been building up our titanium frame range and thought it’s time to properly introduce them.
First the basics of our mode of operation. All our frames are manufactured in the far east by one fabricator. Trust us, we’ve heard all the preconceived opinions and stories about far east subcontracting and can’t deny, we were very similarly opinionated when we started. Fortunately the reality has proven us wrong and the projects we’ve done with our manufacturing partner have taught both of us a great deal. The quality and craftsmanship of the work on both ends is the key for everything. All our frames are fabricated per order basis, giving our customers a lot of room for customizing the frame to fit their needs. All the details of the frame can be selected in our web store or by directly contacting us. The delivery time of each frame is about 5 – 8 weeks depending on the time of the year. As it’s often said, in life everything that requires some patience and time is usually worth it.
For the year 2020 we have 5 titanium frames and complete bikes in our range. Rämäkkä Long and Rämäkkä Regular enduro and trail frames/bikes, Kytö trail and adventure frame/bike, Rotevaadventure frame/bike and Töyrä pump track, dirt jump and slopestyle frame/bike.
All our frames are 1499.00 € / $1624.00 / £1245.00 and completes start from 3199.00 € / $3465.00 / £2655.00 (prices including Finnish VAT). We currently sell only to European Union countries via our web store. If you’d like to order outside the EU, just give us a shout via our web site, no problem.

Rämäkkä Long and Rämäkkä Regular – titanium enduro and trail hardtails.
The currently over-hyped long, low and slack has been in the DNA of our lineup from the very beginnings in form of Rämäkkä Long and Rämäkkä Regular frames. These were the first two models that started our story. Rämäkkä was designed to prove that you can replace mediocre rear suspension and extra weight with a superb frame material and awesome geometry. Rämäkkä has proven just that to us and many others.
There are two geo-versions of Rämäkkä to choose the one that best suits ones riding style. You can also choose the correct fork length and travel (to keep the designed bottom bracket height), max tire size and internal or external cable routing. If you’re ready for some full-rigid action, our sturdy Pässilä Bicycles titanium fork goes well with Rämäkkä and takes the weight and the fun-factor to a whole another level.
For 2020, we’ve increased the max tire size 29×3.0 inches (optional), modified the chain stay lengths between sizes, added the Extra Large sizing and last but not least: now you can choose your preferred amount of slack from 62 degrees to 65 degrees head tube angle. Now how about that?

Kytö trail and adventure hardtail
Kytö trail and adventure hardtail was introduced in the early 2019. This frame has been designed for quick post-work trail rides as well as for long sunday (or friday-to-sunday) epics. The Kytö geometry makes the ride comfortable, but not too comfy to keep it fun for the trail attacks. If you like the full-rigid experience, you can get Kytö with our Pässilä Bicycles titanium fork. Like all our titanium frames, Kytö is built to order, crafted just for you.
