The blacksmith’s forge used by our founder, Tom Pearson, is where it all began. In 1860, Tom established what went on to become the world’s oldest bike business. More than 160 years later, the new Pearson Forge offers a revolution in frame design: the most data-driven bike-frame geometry ever created for regular road riders. Using bike-fit data from more than 2,000 Pearson customers, we’ve analysed the optimum set-up of every individual rider (saddle position, bar reach, crank length…) and put them into one machine. Lightweight, durable and responsive, Forge offers a better fit for more riders than any bike on the market. An exceptional bike for everyday cyclists, Forge is built around a proprietary Pearson frame design.
The aesthetic is fast and racy, with precise, nimble handling. Our detailed analysis has resulted in a shorter reach and taller front-end. To maintain a racing feel, we've increased the fork length (thus shortening overall head tube length) and added a subtle ramp at the front of the top tube. Using premium lightweight Toray carbon, Forge offers the perfect balance of comfort and stiffness. Featuring aero profiles across the frame, additional elements include a T47 threaded bottom bracket and full internal cable-routing. Tyre clearances can accommodate up to 700x35 tyres (700x32c with mudguards) and Forge also boasts hidden mudguard eyelets, triple bottle-positions and a robust direct-mount rear hanger.
