Murdock
Part Gravel, Part Road
Whether you're just beginning your exploration of what lies beyond your front door or if you've been venturing for years, the Murdock is built for every level of cyclist.
A Masterful Symphony
With an aluminum frame, this bike is both resilient and lightweight, making it perfect for riders of all levels. The Murdock features large 700c tires that make for a smooth ride
Upgrades on Upgrades
The Murdock is versatile and customizable to your riding. If you’re more of a gravel junkie, select the Adventure Build. If you prefer smooth roads, select the standard build.
Flat Bar Gravel
The Murdock flat bar gravel bike is a great choice for riders looking to explore off-road routes while staying comfortable on their bike, without sacrificing any of the features they love from our drop bar gravel bikes.
Materials
Fezzari uses the highest quality materials available and the newest technologies to make sure that the bikes they make are the best you have ever ridden, guaranteed.
Less waste and lighter frames though better technology.
We changed the carbon layup process. In traditional carbon layup processes, sheets of carbon are wrapped around air bladders with an object inside to help keep the form. After carbon is wrapped around the bladder, the object holding the shape is removed and the bladder and carbon fiber are placed in a mold, inflated, and cured. The problem? Carbon wrapping must be loose enough to remove the object before the curing process, which causes overlapping carbon fiber that weakens the frame, adds unnecessary weight, and creates possible air pocket voids that may cause frame failure. Our process is different. We eliminate overlapping fibers, air pocket voids, and tighten carbon wrapping. How do we do this? We use proprietary tooling designs, vacuum compacting, and a different type of internal mold to hold the carbon. The result: the frame is stronger, lighter, and manufacturing consistencies are dramatically increased. This is why we can back all our carbon frames with a lifetime warranty.
Stiffness and Strength
We use carbon fiber on frames, seat posts, forks, and other components. Carbon fiber is very light and can be made stiff or flexible. The term commonly used to describe stiffness is ''modulus''. Generally speaking, we want frames to be laterally stiff for efficient power transfer and vertically compliant for comfort and less fatigue when riding.
Design Process
Fezzari takes a forward-thinking approach to all its designs. Bikes are designed in-house in Lindon, UT and done with the utmost attention to detail.
Design to Reality.
From initial conception to delivery to an ecstatic customer, we put in countless hours and resources to develop the best possible bikes. Passion, persistence, and constant refinement are our maxim as we hone our craft and deliver exceptional riding experiences to everyone who has the opportunity to ride a Fezzari. When one project is completed, we begin anew, synthesizing our acquired knowledge to develop the next generation of bicycle evolution.
Data-Driven Design.
At Fezzari, we prioritize rider fit and comfort in the design process of our bikes. To ensure that our bikes meet the needs of a diverse range of riders, we incorporate decades of real-world rider fit data into our design process. This data is collected through various means, including fitting sessions with professional bike fitters, feedback from riders, and ergonomic testing.
