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 bespoke craftsmanship, comfort-oriented road racing geometry aligns beautifully with our tailored approach.
Here’s how the Jaegher philosophy could translate into comfortable geometry. These are general insights, 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 overreaching while maintaining efficient weight distribution.
Custom seat tube angles provide an optimal balance for power delivery and comfort, depending on your hip flexibility and pedalling dynamics.
Chainstays typically vary in length to improve vibration absorption or to keep 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 ensures a more planted feel and lowers the center of gravity for improved stability and cornering confidence. Higher bottom brackets are ideal for riders seeking fast accelaration and maximal power transfer.
Fork rake and trail can be adjusted to achieve the desired balance of precise steering and stability at higher speeds.

HOLISTIC BIKE FIT
Comfort, performance or both—your choice.
The geometry of your road 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 road 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
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 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 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 road buzz, delivering a significantly more comfortable ride compared to carbon, which tends to amplify shocks and transfers 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 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.
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. This is why mass-produced carbon dominates the world bicycle market - it's just a profit-maximizer.
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 frames are naturally resistant to corrosion.
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.
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 FL.X Phoenix and the FL.X Ascender, as well as their design possibilities.
FL.X Phoenix design
The FL.X 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.
FL.X Ascender design
> Pure and exceptionally tough
Customization remains very much a part of the experience though. In fact 50% of our FL.X 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 scuffs and scratches from road debris.
Some customers choose to extend the subtle 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—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.
Artisan craftsmanship, AI and cutting edge 3D innovation unite in a tailor-made stainless steel road bike.
