Taïga EXP 3 | All Terrain Bike (Flat bar)
*Pre-sales are underway. Deliveries will begin at the end of April.
Carrying forward the DNA of the Taïga EXP, this third generation is designed for riders who want to cover long distances across all types of terrain. Its versatile geometry promotes a comfortable and efficient riding position, whether for bikepacking, off-road ultra races, or all-terrain rides.
Built from Reynolds 725 steel, the frame uses butted tubing to reduce weight while maximizing strength. Each frame size receives a size-specific tube selection, ensuring optimal performance while preserving the lively ride quality and comfort that steel is known for.
The Taïga EXP 3 is now offered with a steel or carbon fork, each designed with geometry adjusted to remain compatible with a 120 mm suspension setup.
A durable and extremely versatile adventure bike, the Taïga EXP 3 is a true off-road travel platform, designed to go far and last long.

Product information
We're proud to offer products for which every detail has been thought through and validated.
We offer a warranty that covers the owner of a Panorama bike for life. First of all, should a manufacturing issue arise, this defect will typically surface quickly in the life of the bike. That's why we offer a full 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Then, if an accident, fall or impact causes damage to the frame, you'll be covered by our lifetime crash replacement policy. Simply return the frame to us, and we'll assess whether repair is possible or replacement is necessary, at the lowest possible cost.
Return the bike after 10 days of testing if anything is not up to your expectations. Your satisfaction (and especially your fun outdoor) is at the top of our priorities. See the Terms of Sale for more information.

Panorama Taïga EXP 3
LONG DISTANCE OFF-ROAD GEOMETRY
The Taïga EXP 3 is developed for stability and comfort. Thanks to its carefully calibrated geometry, it ensures a natural position in both flat bar and drop bar configurations.
Main Features
REYNOLDS 725 TUBESET
Custom selection of Reynolds 725 steel tubing unique to each frame size. Tubes are butted in the right places to provide the comfort and enjoyment of riding a steel frame without the extra weight.
UDH / T-TYPE SLIDING DROPOUTS
Sliding dropouts compatible with SRAM T-Type transmission. UDH derailleur hanger for easy replacement.
SUSPENSION CORRECTED STEEL OR CARBON FORK
The Taïga EXP is available with either a steel or carbon fork, each designed with geometry adjusted to be compatible with 120 mm suspension.
INTERNAL ROUTING FOR DYNAMO HUB AND REAR LIGHT
The frame allows the rear light cable to be routed inside it, thanks to the entry and exit ports located on the downtube and on the non-drive side chainstay.
The fork also offers an internal passage, which is convenient for connecting a USB charger or hub dynamo-powered lighting.
RAISED BOTTLE CAGE MOUNTS ON THE SEAT TUBE
To allow the use of a dropper seatpost while still mounting a bottle cage on the seat tube, we moved the mounts to the outside of the tube rather than the inside.
Thanks to this tiny detail, the seatpost can be inserted to its full depth without being obstructed by rivets.
SEAT STAY SPLIT FOR BELT DRIVE
The Taïga EXP, in his flat bar configuration, is an excellent candidate for a Rohloff belt drive setup.
An integrated opening in the seat stay makes this type of drivetrain configuration fully possible.
REDESIGNED DROPOUTS
We redesigned the adjustable dropouts for three main reasons:
1. Increased rear triangle stiffness: the junction point with the seat stays has been moved closer to the wheel axle.
2. Improved durability: the adjustment screw has been upgraded from M3 to M4, making it stronger and easier to work with.
3. Refined design: we wanted to enhance the overall aesthetics of the rear end of the bike. We’re very proud of the result.
TIRE CLEARANCE
The CNC-machined yoke offers generous clearance for 29 x 2.6-inch tires with plenty of room left over for mud.
MULTIPLE MOUNTS
Ready to be equipped for a short or long bikepacking outing with its many mounts: 3 bottle mounts, cargo cages on the fork, top tube bag, rear rack (with mid-seat stay inserts) and mudguard.
