We are proud of Habanero and the many things it has come to represent here in our community. Creative, safe space and inclusion is important to us. We are proud that Ramon donated his time and talent to paint a mural of "Salem without Cars" Thank you Ramon!

We don't post as often as we should but wanted to share this beautiful gravel ride fresh out of the pepper patch! Check that adventure fork! Carbon, light, durable! I must say that Habanero logo is a bit of eye candy.
The Velo Orange Granola mustache bar w/ 105's makes for quick braking and a crisp sweep for shifting. Accented with orange Wolf Tooth headset and seat collar. Yes and thank you.
We have tested and loved the 48 Gravel King slicks combined with GRX rims. GK's grip and rip through multiple terrains and conditions, they just add to the versatility of this build!
Congratulations to another Habanero Nation member and the many adventures that await her!

We located this review and wanted to share it with the rest of Habanero nation:
HABANERO EL TORO Titanium Cross-Bike Review:-Mike
Having put about 300 miles on 8 different rides, I am ready for a Ride Review on this Bike.
Short – Simple review… no fluff, not going to make you read 3 pages to find out…. here is my main conclusion.
This bike is an Awesome Cross/Gravel Bike. Best one I have ever ridden. It is FAST, Quiet, Solid, very well balanced, and climbs everything a mountain bike can climb, but faster. Paired with the Perrilli all-terrain knobby Gravel tires, this bike can truly go on any trail on any trail surface and you will feel a strong bike/ground connection at all times. Not once yet have I felt this bike could not handle the terrain. This includes lots of singletrack riding in Harold Parker, Lynn Woods and other local technical parks.
It is better than my 2010 Habanero Cross-Bike which I put over 12,000 miles on it before I broke it. I have been riding cross bikes since the early 2000’s. I have owned metal frames, carbon frames and alloy framed bikes. Over 7 different ones in all. (3) I have retired (worn-out) My other (3) cross bikes I have now… will now be gathering cobwebs
EL TURO… THE BULL.
Titanium Frame / Fork Total Assembled weight 23 pounds as-is in this photo.
Frame by Habanero Bikes (Salem Mass) whom have been designing Titanium Frames since the early 1990’s. This is my (3) third Frame Purchase. My 2016 29er Hardtail is still my best Mountain Bike.
They also sell complete bikes. Titanium For: Road / Gravel / Cross Bikes / Fat Bikes / Hardtails / Fully Rigid.
