Lyons, Colo. (February 23rd, 2023) - REEB Cycles continues to push the boundaries of engineering design, with the new 155mm Enduro Race Bike, STEEZL. Using innovative and American made SLM 3D printed components and proven Colorado fabrication skills this bike is designed to pedal all day and destroy technical descents.
The STEEZL’s steel front triangle evolved from the technology and experience gained creating the acclaimed 120mm SST travel trail bike, and is paired with the battle tested aluminum rear end of the SQWEEB and BREWser. The result is an enduro race bike worthy of replacing the discontinued SQWEEB. The 2023 STEEZL is stiffer, stronger, prettier, and dripping with that handmade REEB flavor everyday production bikes simply don’t deliver.
The groundbreaking 155mm enduro rig built in Colorado by the REEB fabrication team, rewards every rider with incredible speed, unparalleled ride feel and superb fit and finish. Led by Adam Prosise, Director of R&D, the culture for big rides in big terrain fuels REEB’s desire and ability to develop bikes to tame the wildest backcountry adventures and gnarliest races in the world.

The 2023 STEEZL platform is an all-new American made 3D printed BB cluster paired with a custom 4130 chromoly tubeset spec’d to give extraordinary confidence and control at the limit. The aluminum Horst-link rear end is the strongest and lightest REEB has ever made, featuring beautifully CNC’d rockers and the polygonal CRT rocker interface to keep everything pointed in the right direction through the rough stuff. Updated kinematics improve pedaling performance, reduce kickback deep in the travel, and hone in on a perfect leverage curve to keep things smooth, controlled, and consistent whether pedaling up a fireroad, sending your favorite jump line, or blasting into a scree field at race speed.
With all-new geo for 2023, the STEEZL is available in 5 sizes (S-XXL) and is ready to run 29er or Mullet with the flip of a chip. Similar to the SST, the STEEZL features incredibly low standover, compatibility with the longest dropper posts on the market, and space for a water bottle on all sizes. For the first time in REEB history, STEEZL offers size specific chainstays (434mm for S,M,L / 444mm for XL and XXL) and the rear ends are interchangeable. Also new for 2023, STEEZL and SST builds are available with a range of suspension options from Cane Creek, Rockshox, Ohlins, EXT, and PUSH Industries at www.reebcycles.com

About REEB Cycles
In 2011, REEB Cycles began fabricating handmade steel hardtails designed for the steep and rocky terrain of their home in the foothills of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. In 2017, REEB announced their first full suspension offering, the SQWEEB, an aluminum enduro race platform that was redesigned in 2020 by Ziegler and further refined by fabricator/racer Adam Prosise and trials and freeride legend Jeff Lenosky. 2022 brought a new chapter to the company with the development of the SST, a fast and playful steel trail bike built that incorporates advanced manufacturing technology with timeless design language and world class performance. In 2023, REEB Cycles replaced the Sqweeb with the launch of the STEEZL enduro race bike. In addition to designing and fabricating all bikes in-house in Lyons, Colo., REEB operates a demo, retail and full service bike shop at CyclHOPS Bike Cantina restaurant in Longmont, Colo.
