Frame and Build

One of the standout features of the J Guillem Major is its frame. Made from high-quality titanium, the frame is incredibly light, yet still strong enough to handle the demands of even the most aggressive riders. The bike’s geometry is designed to optimise performance, with a low front end and a relatively short head tube. This puts riders in an aerodynamic position without sacrificing too much comfort.

The Major is built with a full Shimano Ultegra groupset (you get to choose from a variety of other group sets if you prefer), which provides fast, smooth shifting and excellent control over the bike’s speed and performance. You also have plenty of options when it comes to the choice of wheelsets depending on your budget. That said, the bike we rode came equipped with a mean pair of Campagnolo Bullet Ultra 50mm clinchers which offers a great balance between speed and durability.

Performance of this titanium monster of a road bike

So, how does the J Guillem Major perform on the road? In a word: exceptionally. The bike is incredibly responsive and nimble, making it perfect for quick accelerations and tight turns. The Ultegra groupset is a joy to use, providing crisp, accurate shifts that allow you to quickly and easily adjust your speed and cadence.

On longer rides, the Major really shines. The titanium frame helps to absorb road vibrations, making for a smoother, more comfortable ride. And despite its light weight, the bike feels solid and stable, even on rough or uneven terrain.

Overall, the J Guillem Major is a top-of-the-line road bike that delivers exceptional performance, speed, and comfort. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, this bike is sure to impress. So if you’re actively on the hunt for a new road bike, be sure to give the Major a closer look.

One thing that we really loved about this bike is that it is an absolute BEAST when it comes to climbing. Its lightweight titanium frame and responsive handling makes it an exceptional road bike for tackling steep inclines and challenging mountain passes. Each pedal stroke on steep terrain felt smoother and more effortless than usual, almost like cutting through butter with a hot knife. This ensured that we could maintain our cadence and momentum even when the gradient increased significantly.

Furthermore, the Major’s geometry struck an excellent balance that not only allowed us to comfortably get aero on the flats, but remain taller in an comfortable position that can be maintained for long stretches of climbing steep roads. This really enabled us to deliver maximum power to the pedals. If you’re a climber at heart or seeking to conquer challenging routes, the J Guillem Major is the perfect road bike to take your performance to new heights.
