Parapera Anemos² Ti Masterpiece on Review – Titanium meets Carbon

With so many high-end carbon frames on the market, it’s hard not to ask: is there still space for another one? The Anemos² Ti Masterpiece sets out to prove exactly that, combining carbon tubes with 3D-printed titanium lugs. Add to that a selection of top-tier components and a finish that exudes exclusivity. But is the Parapera merely a showpiece, or does it deliver genuine performance when the riding gets real?

Parapera have made a name for themselves with sleek carbon bikes but now they’re venturing into new territory, combining materials in a way that’s still a rarity in the drop-bar world.. By using titanium lugs and exposed carbon, Parapera have created a bike that turns heads from every angle and truly earns the title ‘Masterpiece’. The Anemos² Ti Masterpiece is a genuine showpiece, with flawless transitions between carbon and titanium, sharply- defined edges on the 3D-printed lugs and gold decals that highlight its premium character. But it’s not just about looks, this bike is built to perform on gravel too. Parapera’s parent company, 1bike4life, have already shown they know how to do gravel right. The Aristos SL, the titanium sibling from Falkenjagd, impressed in our race gravel group test, while its full-carbon twin, the Parapera Anemos², delivered excellent gravel credentials too. Now, this hybrid version aims to take that performance even further. Titanium meets carbon, and at € 9,889, the price is surprisingly competitive.

Carbon and Titanium – the Future of Gravel Riding with the Parapera Anemos² Ti Masterpiece?

The combination of titanium lugs and carbon tubes in frame construction isn’t exactly new in the cycling world. Mountain bikers have been using it beyond just prototypes for some time now, with brands like Atherton adopting the concept pretty much as standard. But in the drop-bar segment, this mix is still largely unexplored – and that’s where Parapera are breaking new ground. Instead of using traditional round tubes, they’ve opted for specially shaped carbon profiles. The result is a modern, minimalist look that does away with bulky, round tubing. One detail that truly stands out is the elegant way the top tube tapers off on the Parapera Anemos² Ti Masterpiece

But why did Parapera go down this route in the first place? The idea behind the material mix is to combine the form flexibility and vibration-damping qualities of carbon with the precision and durability of titanium. The 3D-printed lugs allow for tight tolerances and clean transitions, which not only look stunning but also improve the fit between the two materials. The result is a frame that doesn’t just promise high-tech engineering, it delivers it.

The Parapera Anemos² Ti Masterpiece in Detail

Parapera chose a Campagnolo Super Record Wireless road groupset with 13 gears to handle the drivetrain. The bike rolls on Parapera’s in-house wheels, with deep 40 mm rims and DT Swiss 240 hubs, all finished off with matching gold decals, of course. Schwalbe supply the 45 mm G-One R tires, which strike an excellent balance between speed, grip and comfort. For optimal ergonomics, the bike comes with a one-piece Parapera carbon cockpit – of course, with gold accents, too. Our test bike came with the 370 mm version with a 13° flare.

The build is rounded off byParapera’s ultra-thin carbon seatpost, which adds noticeable flex at the rear for extra comfort. It’s paired with a Selle San Marco Shortfit 2.0 saddle, which is also 3D-printed. In this spec, our test bike tips the scales at 8.0 kg, retailing at € 9,889. One final practical detail: the rear end features mounting points for a luggage rack, making the Parapera not just fast but also ready for everyday use. As we’ve come to expect from Parapera and 1bike4life, the bike can also be fully customised to your preferences.

The Geometry of the Parapera Anemos² Ti Masterpiece

In size M, the Anemos² Ti Masterpiece offers a well-balanced blend of sportiness and control. A 72° head angle paired with 52 mm of trail delivers predictable, yet responsive handling that avoids sluggishness. The 73.5° seat angle places you centrally over the bottom bracket, ideal for sustained climbs and a centred riding position. With 435 mm chainstays and a 76 mm bottom bracket drop, the bike maintains a low center of gravity, enhancing both traction and stability.The geometry hits a modern, slightly stretched fit with a 555 mm top tube, 387 mm reach and 566 mm stack, while the 130 mm head tube adds a touch of comfort for longer rides. All in all, the geometry of the Parapera Anemos² Ti Masterpiece promises a sporty, stable yet agile ride, just the right mix for a performance-driven gravel bike.

In full Flow – the Parapera Anemos² Ti Masterpiece on Review

There’s been plenty of talk about this exclusive bike, but how did the Parapera Anemos² Ti Masterpiece actually perform in this test? We put it through its paces where gravel gets serious, on the steep slopes of South Tyrol, up long gravel climbs and across rugged high plateaus. Right from the first pedal strokes, the Anemos² Ti Masterpiece makes it clear that it is far more than just a show bike. It accelerates eagerly and feels light on its feet, remaining composed even when the going gets rough. The front end steers with precision, responding instantly and delivering a playful, agile ride. Combined with the central seating position, it creates a real sense of control that encourages quick direction changes and tight turns – all rounded off by the stiff, ergonomic cockpit.

The Parapera Anemos² Ti Masterpiece strikes a balance perfectly tailored for performance-oriented gravel riding.It’s agile enough to actively tackle technical sections, yet stable enough to cruise confidently through long, fast gravel stretches. The Anemos2 Ti remains predictable throughout, delivering a consistently composed and confident ride, sporty, but never twitchy. The 45 mm Schwalbe G-One R tires complement the setup perfectly, ensuring impressive efficiency, reliable grip and noticeable damping over small bumps.

Tuning tip: Fitting the new Campagnolo Super Record X gravel groupset takes the Parapera Anemos² Ti Masterpiece’s off-road performance to the next level.

The tire choice fits perfectly with the bike’s focus on comfort and compliance. The frame itself is far from harsh, confidently absorbing vibrations and small bumps. However, it’s the slim carbon seatpost that contributes the most to comfort. It offers noticeable flex, taking the sting out of the rear without ever feeling vague or spongy. When it comes to climbing, the Anemos² Ti Masterpiece shows what 8.0 kg, a stiff wheelset and efficient tires can do together.
