Beyond Extraordinary.
We believe in you, the rider. You are the best person to design your bespoke custom bike. Our mission is to empower you to direct the design of your bike – tuning it to your specific needs. The end product is uniquely precision crafted together with you, for you. The use of an innovative and meticulous process blending cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship. Every Bastion begins with a personal consultation, where your preferences, riding style and measurements are carefully considered.
The Bastion Process
We are equipped with our world leading design portal and configurator where we can visualize different ideas to create your dream Bastion. Upon receipt of payment you will receive your Amulet, your bespoke symbol of ownership, granting you access to the Design Portal, where you can finalize the details of your Bastion together with our team of experts.
Our meticulous design process ensures every Bastion is uniquely tailored to its rider. To enhance the order capture process we have created the world’s best design portal and configurator, empowering you to direct the design of your Bastion, tuning it to your needs.
Choose from over 1 million color combinations in both raw and painted finishes in gloss and matte. Personalize your dropouts with your name, initials or an inspirational message. Every choice is rendered in photo-realistic imagery allowing you to visualize your dream bike in real time.
Select from the best components from the best brands. Opt for top electronic group sets from Campagnolo, SRAM, Shimano and wheels from BEAST, Partington, Princeton and Lightweight. Choose options from Absolute Black, Kogel or Ceramicspeed for oversized pulley wheels. You can also choose BASTION's own BC-01 SRM Powermeter crankset or the THM full carbon fiber crankset.
Once we have received your order, we use state of the art computer modeling software to create a 3D model of your Bastion and simulate how it will look and perform on the road. We then provide a detailed Engineering Report covering geometry, stiffness and handling characteristics for you to approve before we begin production.
MANUFACTURING
Our advanced manufacturing process from 3D Printing and CNC machining to polishing and painting requires over 130 hours of precision work by precision machines. A further 70 hours of meticulous craftsmanship is required to sculpt and hand finish every Bastion.

FINISHING
Our paint process is a highly personalized craft, designed to enhance the unique identity of every Bastion. Once the frame is assembled, it is prepared for painting, with many hours spent meticulously masking, and sanding and smoothing the surfaces in preparation for paint.
Our skilled artisans then carefully apply multiple layers of automotive grade paint, carefully building up color and depth to achieve a smooth and even finish. The colours are often customised to the owner’s specifications, allowing for a wide range of possibilities – from classic, understated hues to bold, striking metallics and pearls. In some cases bespoke graphics are added further personalizing the design.
Throughout the process every detail is scrutinised and assessed, chasing perfection. The end result is a finish that is not only visually stunning, but also resilient against the elements reflecting our intent to create works of art you can ride in any weather.
