When Reason Yields to Passion: The Custom Bombtrack Tempest AL.

A new day, a fresh page waiting to be painted with the poetry of cycling. Sometimes, inspiration flows effortlessly – all it takes is a gaze at what our friends from Bombtrack Bikes unveiled at CyclingWorld in Düsseldorf. They have taken the concept of "Allroad" and transformed it into a breathtaking, almost intoxicating interpretation.

At its heart lies the Tempest AL – a chassis originally forged for rugged, unpredictable adventures and remote paths. Yet, in this particular incarnation, the frame visually and physically screams pure velocity. It yearns for the open road, the rush of the wind, and the seamless transition from smooth tarmac to rough gravel tracks. Thanks to generous tire clearance and beautifully integrated mounting points, this adventure platform can be modulated to suit any quest. It is a chameleon that has chosen to reveal its most competitive soul.

Dressed in the ultimate speed configuration, this custom build defies conventional boundaries. It proudly rolls on our HUNT Aerodynamicist 54_58 wheelset, featuring ultra-responsive UD carbon spokes that slice through the air with surgical precision. This aerodynamic masterpiece is paired with true mechanical jewels: the featherlight THM Clavicula SE crankset, crowned by a wind-cheating Praxis Works Aero chainring, and the seamlessly integrated THM Frontale Aero cockpit. Together, they transform an adventure-ready rig into a high-speed projectile engineered to sustain momentum over cosmic distances. A bicycle that refuses to slow down, making the miles melt away.

It is these curated, exceptional custom builds that never fail to ignite our imagination. And honestly, what could be better than stealing ten minutes from a busy workday for some delightful procrastination? To pause, lose oneself in stunning bike build photography, and mentally map out the next upgrade or winter project. It is precisely this endless horizon of personalization that defines the magic of cycling. It is entirely acceptable – indeed, encouraged – to cast cold reason aside and let emotion dictate the build.

We are deeply in love with this artistic expression and hope it inspires your next ride.
