Marauder frame guide
Named for the swift, hard-hitting raiders of the skies, the Marauder represents the pinnacle of Airborne’s aviation heritage and our dedication to titanium engineering and manufacturing excellence. Aggressively styled with advanced hydroformed tube shapes, this premium titanium machine is built to attack any surface — from high-speed gravel races to technical singletrack and remote backcountry missions — delivering razor-sharp handling, explosive responsiveness, and the legendary durability that only titanium can provide.
Equipped with the innovative RideDNA ™ headset system and the new VectorLoc ™ adjustable dropout system, the Marauder lets you instantly transform its geometry — switching from ultra-short chain stays for race-inspired agility to the longest position for stable, confidence-inspiring long-haul capability.
What can be adjusted?
Adjustable headset and dropout/track.
Exploring a frame in RideDNA does not imply adjustable frame hardware. Tire and compatible fork choices can be studied in software, but the frame’s headset and dropout capabilities remain those listed above. Confirm fork compatibility and physical tire clearance with Airborne before changing components.
Frame features
Key features:
RideDNA ™ adjustable headset system — modify head tube angle for optimized stability, agility, or all-terrain confidence. Adjust to match your preferred riding style or normalize geometry for a longer suspension fork.
VectorLoc ™ adjustable dropout system — 8 positions let you tune chainstay length, tire clearance, and frame geometry; from race-short to long-haul relaxed geometry, delivering the perfect balance for any mission.
Premium double-butted 3Al-2.5V titanium tubing construction — natural compliance, superior vibration damping, and lifetime durability.
Advanced hydroformed titanium T/T and D/T — precisely engineered shapes for superior stiffness where you need it, compliance where you want it, and a strikingly modern, aggressive aesthetic.

Generous tire clearance — up to 57 mm, ready for fast-rolling gravel tires or high-volume 29” MTB adventure setups.
Adventure-ready frame mounts — 4 sets of adjustable bottle/bag mounts, perfectly equipped for bikepacking, racks, and long-distance exploration.
Dropper-post compatible — 30.9mm native seat post diameter (or convert to 27.2mm with included alloy adapter).
Compatible with both 700c and 650b wheel and tire options.
For riders seeking the refined character of Airborne titanium with the game-changing versatility of RideDNA™ and the revolutionary VectorLoc™ adjustable dropout system, the Marauder delivers a bold, forward-looking evolution in high-performance gravel bike design.
Recorded frame geometry
Values below come directly from this Airborne model’s size records, including CAD reference stack, reach and wheelbase where recorded. Angles and BB drop use the size-specific value, falling back to the model baseline. Values are not an engine-generated setup or a guarantee of comparison eligibility. Missing measurements remain “Not recorded.”
