NATURAL BEAUTY
How do you want your Jaegher? Brushed, polished or with a touch of colour?
Your responses to our questionnaire are clear: you’re looking for an exquisite, comfortable, and high-performance gravel bike. If your priority is comfort, the FL.S Tornado is the perfect choice. However, if you’re looking for a bike that leans more towards performance, the stainless steel FL.X Hurricane is the one for you.
Both can be finished in a striking way. In the FL.X series, the stainless steel is part of the design. Its aesthetics are as exceptional as the bike and material itself, it doesn’t require paint—its uncoated finish is not only visually striking but also resistant to scuffs and scratches typically sustained in offroad rides. Paint damage is no longer a concern.
When it comes to aesthetics, nothing surpasses a meticulously handcrafted stainless steel bike.
Its style is unmatched, its durability enduring and its essence pure.
A BRUSHED OR POLISHED STAINLESS FRAME
Pure and exceptionally tough
Customization remains an integral part of the experience. In fact, 95% of our Hurricane 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 scuffs and scratches typically sustained in offroad rides, 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 unique colours, creating amazing combinations with the timeless elegance of stainless steel.
Oh, you've got green eyes — Oh, you've got blue eyes — Oh, you've got grey eyes
Now, imagine a lacquered cockpit, seatpost, and fork in one or more vibrant wet colours, paired with the Eye of Jaegher in the shades of your choice.
If you opt for our Unlimited paint scheme, the possibilities are endless. Customize your fork and cockpit with wet lacquers, gradients, patterns or even illustrations to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
"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."
ADD SOME EXTRA SPEED TO 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—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.
FL.S — THE SPRIT STEEL DESIGNS
When it comes to our steel series, we can keep it short: we use wet lacquers for their rich, deep colours.
You have two distinct design options to choose from:
Fully Lacquered Design
Opt for a fully lacquered bike, with the logo and brand elements painted in a complementary colour to perfectly match your bike's aesthetic.
The Speed Design
Combine two wet lacquer colours to create a stunning gradient effect, starting with one colour at the front and transitioning to the second colour towards the back. The logo or call number can be lacquered in the colour that stands out most.
For added personalization, you can apply the Speed technique to the fork, paired with the Eye of Jaegher for a signature touch. Alternatively, choose a fully coloured fork with the Eye for a bold and standout look.
ELEVATING GRAVEL COMFORT TO NEW HEIGHTS
Preserve unmatched comfort on your gravel bike while optimizing your pedalling efficiency.
Built for riders who crave the ultimate gravel adventure, the Tornado combines an exclusive Spirit Steel frame with comfort-focused geometry, ensuring longer, comfortable and painfree rides while maintaining exceptional performance.
Comfort Gravel Setup
At Jaegher, every 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 trail. Gravel bikes are typically designed with a more upright posture compared to traditional road bikes, putting a stronger emphasis on comfort for long rides or rough terrain.
This setup makes it easier to navigate corners and obstacles, while offering better visibility of the trail. Your arms take less beating from the road and dancing on the pedals comes more naturally.
At Jaegher, we believe that comfort and performance go hand in hand, and our gravel bike setups ensure you experience the best of both worlds.

HOLISTIC BIKE FIT
Comfort, performance or both—your choice.
The geometry of your gravel bike significantly influences your posture—and your posture, in turn, determines 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?
11 tubes and parts each perfectly measured, cut and mitered for you.
IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE
INCREASE YOUR COMFORT
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 having a perfectly 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?
That’s why Jaegher is the first bike brand to introduce the Jaegher HOLISTIC BIKEFIT®.
Together with Lieven Maesschalk (*) and Gilles Van Kerckvoorde we developed this approach.
This holistic method ensures that both you and your bike are in optimal harmony by taking a 360-degree approach to bike fitting. It’s not just about determining the perfect geometry, saddle height, or handlebar position—it's about understanding how your body moves and reacts to cycling. We assess factors like muscle imbalances, flexibility, and riding posture to determine the geometry and customize the fit to maximize your efficiency on the bike.
But the process doesn't end with the bike fit. Through a series of targeted, well-defined exercises, we address areas in need of strengthening or mobility improvement, helping you build a solid physical foundation for enhanced performance.
By focusing on both the rider and the bike, this method unlocks a smoother, more powerful ride, optimizing each pedal stroke and supporting your long-term cycling goals—whether you're racing, exploring gravel roads or enjoying long-distance rides.
With a focus on the whole rider, not just the bike, the Jaegher Holistic Bikefit Program elevates your cycling experience to its highest potential
The goal is to maximize every pedal stroke
while ensuring you remain free of discomfort or strain.
Some examples of how our Holistic Bikefit Program 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: e.g. 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 best 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 LIVING SPIRIT OF STEEL
Unbeatable comfort/performance ratio
Spirit steel is an exceptional choice for riders seeking a balance of comfort and performance, making it ideal for gravel bikes.
For those prioritizing even greater performance, the Hurricane offers a compelling alternative with its stainless steel tubeset. Additionally, we can customize the Hurricane’s geometry to enhance comfort, tailoring it to your specific needs.
Jaegher and Columbus Italia developed an exclusive high performance stainless steel tube set.
Spirit steel — FL.S series
For many gravel riders, nothing compares to the performance and comfort of Spirit Steel. This exclusive steel tube set, custom-made for Jaegher, has quickly become a favorite among those who demand the best from their bikes. Spirit steel is renowned for its unique damping properties, which help to absorb vibrations and reduce road fatigue, providing a smoother and more comfortable ride over even the roughest terrain.
What sets Spirit Steel apart is its exceptional ability to deliver the perfect balance of confort and performance. Unlike other materials, Spirit Steel is designed to provide just the right amount of responsiveness, allowing for precise handling without sacrificing comfort. It offers a level of compliance that is hard to match, ensuring that riders can power through gravel roads with confidence while still enjoying a smooth ride.
This steel is not just about comfort, it’s about performance that lasts. The durability and strength of Spirit Steel ensure that your bike will maintain its integrity, ride after ride, no matter the challenges of the trail. For gravel riders who value both long-term reliability and a ride that feels like it was made just for them, Spirit Steel is the ultimate choice.
Stainless steel — FL.X series
For gravel riders who prioritize performance, stainless steel is an outstanding choice. Its increased stiffness provides precise handling and efficient power transfer, translating to better acceleration and control over varied surfaces. At the same time, it still offers more comfort than carbon, thanks to its natural ability to absorb vibrations, giving riders the endurance they need for longer rides without experiencing excessive fatigue or discomfort.
One of the most significant advantages of stainless steel, especially when compared to carbon, is its durability. Unlike carbon frames, which are known to be brittle under extreme stress or impact, stainless steel is known for its resilience and ability to withstand the toughest conditions. There is virtually no risk of cracks, fractures or breakage, ensuring that your bike can handle all the demands of gravel riding without compromising its integrity. Whether you're taking on a gravel race, exploring remote trails or simply enjoying a long-distance ride, stainless steel provides the reliability and performance you can count on, ride after ride.
With its combination of performance, comfort, and unmatched durability, stainless steel is the material of choice for serious gravel riders who want a bike that will perform at the highest level, no matter the challenge.
So why don’t we see more people ride a stainless steel gravel bike?
It’s a question we often get, and the answer is simple: while stainless steel is an exceptional and outstanding material 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, every weld must be executed with flawless precision. Additionally, Its remarkable hardness also takes a toll on machinery, causing wear and tear up to five times faster than with other materials, rendering the crafting process even more demanding.
01 — PERFORMANCE
Stainless steel frames offer the perfect balance of stiffness and compliance, providing responsive handling and a smooth ride, enhancing overall performance.
02 — COMFORT
Stainless steel's natural compliance offers a more comfortable ride, reducing fatigue on gravel roads, uneven trails or long distance rides.
03 — ANTI-CORROSION
Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion ensures the frame's longevity in diverse weather conditions, crucial for outdoor adventures.
04 — NO PAINT DAMAGE
Stainless steel frames are resistant to lacquer damage, as they require no paint or lacquer coatings. Scratches and small dents can easily be removed with some polishing.
05 — BIKEPACKING
Stainless steel frames can easily handle extra weight, travel bags and gear, making them the preferred choice for ultra riders.
06 — REPAIRABILITY
Carbon frames are prone to fractures sustained in crashes, rendering them unusable. In contrast, stainless steel frames are highly resilient and, if damaged, can be easily repaired, especially when left unpainted.
07 — DURABILITY
Stainless steel frames are ultra-durable and eco-friendly, while carbon fiber's limited recyclability impacts its environmental sustainability.
08 — AESTHETICS
Stainless steel frames boast a timeless, stylish look with polished or brushed finishes, perfect for cyclists seeking a distinctive appearance.
Jaegher finest framesets, the FL.X series, are handcrafted out of Columbus XCr tubes, exclusively made for Jaegher. All that is 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-to-comfort ratio.
The unique feel of steel is difficult to translate into statistics and numbers. The weight-to-stiffness ratio of our FL.X frames is superior to titanium or aluminium, while its vibration absorbing quality easily beats carbon or aluminium.
The frame — material and geometry — sets the standard for excellence in cycling.
