Below is a step-by-step guide to CustomColour, describing how to add your own unique design and what the various options are.

  • How to add a Custom Colour to your bike

  • The Custom Colour configurator required to design your dream ride can be accessed when confirming your component selections during the bike building process.

  • Step 1 - Choose your bike

  • Choose one of our recommended builds and click 'shop now' to progress to the next stage of the customisation process.

  • Step 2 - Enter the Configurator

  • Click the blue 'Choose your bike' button to enter the bike configurator and begin customising your bike.

  • Step 3 - Choose your paint

  • Matt, Gloss, Flip or Fade - you decide

    Upon opening the configurator, you are faced with two custom colour options: Flip Paints or Solid & Metallic paints. We then offer various customisation options based on the frameset model. You can customise everything from the base colour to the frame and fork graphics or even add a secondary frame colour. Read on for a complete breakdown of the available customisation options.

  • Gloss

    Gloss paint adds a reflective sheen for a slick, contemporary look.

  • Matt

    Matt paint is extremely popular thanks to its ability to soften up the look and accentuate every sweeping shape and curve of the frame.

  • Flip

    Make a splash wherever you ride with a mind-altering flip finish. This chameleon-like paint shifts and changes when viewed at various angles or under different light conditions.

  • Above Images: Believe it or not, both images depict the same paint finish when viewed at different angles.

  • Fade

    Feeling extra creative? Why not add a secondary colour to the frame. Select a gradient to seamlessly blend two colours together, creating a stunning two-tone design like the one pictured. You can even choose to have the colours fade horizontally or vertically, unlocking almost unlimited customisation options.
