"There's a compelling reason why the world's most prestigious watchmakers,
including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet, IWC Schaffhausen, ...
opt for high-end stainless steel."
A BRUSHED OR POLISHED STAINLESS FRAME
Pure and exceptionally tough
Customization remains an integral part of the experience. In fact, 95% of our Ascender customers choose to preserve the beauty of stainless steel, keeping it as visible as possible. We can brush or polish the steel, enhancing its natural shine. Of course, polishing takes significantly more time, as the process involves gradually refining the surface from a coarse grain to the finest possible finish, giving it that stunning shine.
Most riders opt for the Jaegher logo or their personal call number on the downtube and top tube patch, typically in the signature combination of Jaegher Black and Jaegher White. This is often paired with one of Jaegher's ceramic colours—subtle or bold—for the invasion stripes on the seat tube, with the chosen color echoed on the fork.
This design approach offers a simple yet striking way to make your Jaegher stand out. The ceramic colours are not only visually captivating but also incredibly durable, making them the perfect choice for gravel bikes. They feature an advanced lacquer technique that resists scratches from branches and stone impacts, ensuring your bike looks pristine even under tough conditions.
Coloured Parts
A pure frame doesn’t mean your Hurricane can’t be truly unique. More and more brands, like the renowned Chris King, offer coloured components that perfectly complement stainless steel.
Their bottom brackets, headsets, and hubs come in a stunning array of 10 colours, creating amazing combinations with the timeless elegance of stainless steel.
AD SOME EXTRA SPEED ON YOUR HURRICANE
There are even more ways to integrate stainless steel into your Hurricane's design while adding a unique touch of colour.
The Circles Gradient Design
Inspired by the circles of our logo, this innovative design adds colour to key areas: the seat post zone, dropout zone, bottom bracket, cockpit, and fork. It’s a fresh take on Jaegher’s signature style.
The Speed Design
This unique design on a stainless steel frame uses wet lacquers to create a gradient effect, starting with your chosen colour at the front and transitioning to stainless steel towards the back. The logo or call number can be left unpainted, allowing the natural beauty of stainless steel to shine through.
In this design, 40% of the bike is coloured while 60% remains stainless steel, protected by a transparent lacquer. Achieving this effect requires precision and skill, including the use of transparent varnishes—but we’ll spare you the technical details.
Of course, you can add the Speed technique to the fork, combined with the Eye of Jaegher. Alternatively, you can opt for a fully coloured fork featuring the Eye for a bold and distinctive look.
ELEVATING ROAD COMFORT TO NEW HEIGHTS
Preserve unmatched comfort on your road bike while optimizing your pedaling efficiency.
Built for riders who crave the ultimate road adventure, the Phoenix and Ascender combines an exclusive Stainless Steel frame with comfort-focused geometry, ensuring longer rides free from pain and discomfort while maintaining exceptional performance.
Comfort Road Setup
At Jaegher, every road (or gravel bike) is meticulously crafted to align with your unique preferences, riding style, and strengths. Our approach ensures a personalized fit that enhances your overall experience on the road. Road bikes are typically designed with a more aerodynamic position compared to other bikes, placing a stronger emphasis on performance.
At Jaegher, we adapt the geometry to your wishes. If you prioritize comfort over performance, this doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your most effective pedal stroke. We believe comfort and performance go hand in hand, and our road bike setups are designed to ensure you experience the best of both worlds.
When looking at the geometry of a Jaegher bike, known for their bespoke craftsmanship, comfort-oriented road racing geometry aligns beautifully with our tailored approach.
Here’s how a comfortable geometry could translate into the Jaegher philosophy. These are general insights, but some may not apply to you. If these insights don’t fully align with your preferences, we’ll explore other adjustments to create the ultimate bike for you.
A balanced head tube angle, keeps the handling responsive yet stable. This is ideal for riders who want precision on technical descents but still value comfort on long rides
While our aggressive/performance race frame geometry favor shorter head tubes, a custom comfort geometry would extend the head tube slightly to allow for a more upright, relaxed position. This relieves neck and shoulder tension on endurance rides.
Shorter top tubes bring the bars closer, reducing overextension. Combined with our bespoke fitting process, this ensures a natural reach for each rider’s proportions.
> Stack: Higher values to support a less aggressive posture.
> Reach: Moderate values tailored to avoid overstretching while maintaining efficient weight distribution.
Custom seat tube angles around provide an optimal balance for power delivery and comfort, depending on your hip flexibility and pedaling dynamics.
Chainstays typically range, which improves vibration absorption and keeps the bike stable, even on rougher roads.
With a slightly extended wheelbase, our bikes offer excellent high-speed stability while maintaining nimble handling characteristics.
A lower bottom bracket drop, typically around, ensures a more planted feel and lowers the center of gravity for improved stability and cornering confidence.
A fork rake of paired with a trail of balances comfort with precise steering—a hallmark of their race-oriented frames.
HOLISTIC BIKE FIT
Comfort, performance or both—your choice.
The geometry of your gravel bike significantly influences your posture—and your posture, in turn, shapes how the bike performs for you. Every rider is distinct, with unique body structures, physical strengths, and personal preferences. How can a one-size-fits-all approach possibly deliver the excellence you deserve?
INCREASE YOUR COMFORT
IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE
IMPROVE YOUR ENDURANCE
For a gravel bike to truly excel, it must align perfectly with its motor: the rider. Bike and rider should function as one seamless entity. What’s the point of owning a meticulously crafted bike if the motor isn’t performing at its peak? And what’s the point of a powerful motor if the bike doesn’t feel like an extension of the rider, delivering a ride free from pain and discomfort?
That’s why Jaegher is proud to be the first bike brand to introduce the Jaegher HOLISTIC BIKEFIT®.
Together with Lieven Maerschalk (*) and Gilles Van Kerckhove we’ve developed this approach.
This holistic method ensures that both you and your bike are in perfect harmony by taking a comprehensive, 360-degree approach to bike fitting. It's not just about finding the ideal geometry, saddle height, or handlebar position—it's about truly understanding how your body moves and responds to cycling. We assess factors such as muscle imbalances, flexibility, and riding posture to tailor the geometry and customize the fit, prioritizing your comfort and maximizing your efficiency on the bike.
But comfort goes beyond just the fit. Through a series of well-defined, targeted exercises, we address areas requiring strengthening or mobility improvements, helping you build a solid physical foundation that enhances both your performance and comfort. By focusing on the rider’s physical needs as much as the bike’s setup, this method ensures a smoother, more comfortable ride, optimizing each pedal stroke and supporting your long-term cycling goals—whether you're racing, exploring gravel roads, or embarking on long-distance rides.
With a focus on the rider’s comfort, as well as performance, the Jaegher Holistic Bikefit Program transforms your cycling experience, ensuring you ride longer, harder, and without discomfort.
The goal is to maximize every pedal stroke
while ensuring you remain free of discomfort or strain.
Some examples of exercises that can help you perform better:
- Enhance your balance and stability
- Achieve a more aerodynamic riding posture
- Increase core strength for improved stability and power transfer
- Improve hip flexibility for a smoother pedal stroke
- Improve proprioception and coordination for more efficient pedal mechanics
- Correct movement inefficiencies:
f.e.a knee drifting outward with each pedal stroke, which can reduce power output.
In 2001, Maesschalck developed his own concept, Move To Cure, which literally translates to "Healing Through Proper Movement." Together with a team of physiotherapists, he specializes in treating complex orthopedic injuries. Often referred to as the "miracle man" (a nickname he dislikes), he works with the world's elite athletes.
His clients include AC Milan, Real Madrid, the Belgian Red Devils, An Wauters, and cycling legends such as Remco Evenepoel, Wout van Aert, and Mathieu van der Poel.
THE STAINLESS RIDE
Unbeatable comfort/performance ratio
Stainles Steel is an outstanding material for those seeking comfort without giving up on performance.
Stainless steel
For road riders who prioritize comfort on long rides, stainless steel is an outstanding choice. Its natural vibration-dampening properties smooth out the small bumps and imperfections in the road, delivering a significantly more comfortable ride compared to carbon, which tends to amplify shocks and transfer them to the rider’s body.
Stainless steel combines comfort with the responsiveness and precision road cyclists demand. Its slight flex enhances ride quality, reducing fatigue over short or extended distances, while maintaining the stiffness required for efficient power transfer and confident handling. This balance makes stainless steel the ideal material for those seeking a smooth, comfortable, and high-performance ride.
So, why don’t we see more people ride a stainless steel road bike?
It’s a question we hear often, and the answer is simple: while Spirit Steel and Stainless Steel are exceptional and outstanding materials for bespoke gravel and race cycles, it’s notoriously challenging to work with. Stainless Steel is unforgiving—only the most skilled welders can master it, as every detail must be executed with absolute precision. Additionally, its hardness accelerates wear on machines, causing them to deteriorate up to five times faster than when working with other materials, making the crafting process even more demanding.
And then there's the cost factor. Producing a carbon frame typically costs between $35 and $75, making it far more profitable than crafting a bespoke steel frame, which requires days of meticulous work and craftsmanship. It's no wonder carbon dominates mass production—it's simply easier to maximize profits with it.
Jaegher finest framesets, the FL.X series, are handcrafted out of exclusively for Jaegher made Columbus XCr tubes. All what’s great about cycling comes together in this timeless masterpiece. Stiffness meets responsive characteristics, meets outstanding vibration absorbing quality, meets lightweight, meets pure aesthetics.
This bespoke, handcrafted, and welded in a second to none geometry results in a frameset with maximum dynamic efficiency and an unbeatable performance-comfort ratio.
The unique feel of steel is difficult to translate into statistics and numbers. The weight/stiffness ratio of our FL.X frame is superior than titanium or aluminium while it’s vibration absorbing quality beats easily those from carbon or aluminum.
The frame — material and geometry — sets the standard for excellence in cycling.
ELEGANCE REDEFINED ON TWO WHEELS.
Choose between exclusive colours and lacquer techniques
There’s nothing more striking than pure stainless steel, and it becomes even more breathtaking when paired with our special transparent varnishes or delicate layers of colour and gradient designs. No other material can achieve such a stunning, timeless look. Here’s a brief overview of the differences between the Phoenix and the Ascender, as well as their design possibilities.
Phoenix design
The Phoenix boasts a distinctive, recognizable design, available in five exclusive Jaegher gradients and golden eyes on the fork. For those seeking an added touch of individuality, a personalized call number is also possible.
Ascender design
> Pure and exceptionally tough
However, customization is still very much a part of the experience. In fact, 50% of our Ascender customers opt for one of our many ceramic coating colours to add a unique touch to their bike. While the majority of a Jaegher bike features brushed stainless steel, the logo, iconic Jaegher details, or your personal number are painted and oven-baked for a durable, long-lasting finish.
This ceramic coating is exceptionally tough, able to withstand scratches or stone impacts.
Some customers choose to extend the subtile colours they've selected for the frame with bold wet paint finishes or personalized designs to make the fork or cockpit a standout feature.
> The Fading Circles Design
Inspired by the circles of our logo, this innovative design adds colour to key areas: the seat post zone, dropout zone, bottom bracket, cockpit, and fork. It’s a fresh take on Jaegher’s signature style.
> The Speed Design
This unique design on a stainless steel frame uses wet lacquers to create a gradient effect, starting with your chosen colour at the front and transitioning to stainless steel towards the back. The logo or call number can be left unpainted, allowing the natural beauty of stainless steel to shine through.
In this design, 40% of the bike is coloured while 60% remains stainless steel, protected by a transparent lacquer. Achieving this effect requires precision and skill, including the use of transparent varnishes—but we’ll spare you the technical details.
Of course, you can add the Speed technique to the fork, combined with the Eye of Jaegher. Alternatively, you can opt for a fully coloured fork featuring the Eye for a bold and distinctive look.
