To celebrate the brand’s ten year anniversary this year, Boyd put up an online poll for the community to decide whether to build a road or a gravel machine.

Well, the results are in and the road bike won out. So Boyd and Canadian titanium framebuilder T-Lab is to bring a custom R3 road machine into production together.

Titanium tubed with internal cabling, thru axles and flat mounts for disc brakes, the R3 features a generous 35c tire clearance to play nice with the current wider tires are better trend.

But, all hope is not lost for those who voted for the gravel bike (we were told it was a tight race). Boyd will release a limited run of the X3 with clearance for 700 x 42c or 650 x 51mm tires while keeping the same thru-axle, internal cabling and flat mount brake mounts from the R3.
