Enigma Escape Review | A Timeless Titanium Gravel Bike (At a Price)

The Enigma Escape is a versatile titanium gravel bike meant for mixed riding that might include roads and trails, and dirt or gravel. It could serve as everything from a posh commuter to a long-distance adventure bike.

The original Escape launched in 2017 and this updated model arrived in 2019, with the addition of size-specific tubing and tweaked geometry that increases standover height on the smaller sizes.

Enigma offers various builds and lets riders pick and choose individual components to suit their needs. I tested an Escape built with mechanical Shimano GRX components and Hunt wheels.

Since this review Matthew has found out Enigma will spec a 27.2mm seatpost with a shim for added rear end comfort.
