S&S and Z Couplers for Blaze Bicycles
At Blaze Bicycles, we offer both S&S Couplers and Z Couplers for retrofits and new builds, allowing you to travel with your bike more easily—without compromising performance.
What Are S&S and Z Couplers?
S&S Couplers and Z Couplers are precision-machined fittings that enable a bicycle frame to be split into two sections for easy packing and transport. When installed correctly, they maintain the frame's integrity and ride quality while adding only minimal weight.
S&S Couplers: Made from stainless steel, these couplers provide a robust and secure connection, ideal for titanium frames.
Z Couplers: A newer, lighter alternative designed for an even cleaner integration with high-end frames, offering a more seamless aesthetic.
Retrofits: Upgrade Your Existing Frame
Already own a Blaze Bicycle or another titanium frame? We can retrofit S&S or Z Couplers into your current bike, transforming it into a travel-ready machine.
Benefits of a Retrofit:
Convert your existing frame into a travel bike.
Avoid oversized baggage fees when flying.
Maintain the same ride quality with minimal added weight.
Choose between S&S Couplers for durability or Z Couplers for a sleeker integration.
How It Works:
Ship or bring your frame to Blaze Bicycles.
Our expert frame builders will install the couplers with precision.
Your frame is returned, ready for travel with a compatible travel case.
New Builds: Seamless Integration
If you're ordering a custom Blaze Bicycle, you can opt to have S&S or Z Couplers built into the design from the start. This ensures optimal placement and a sleek, integrated look.
Why Choose S&S or Z Couplers for Your New Build?
Fully integrated into the custom geometry of your bike.
No additional modifications needed later.
Perfect for riders who frequently travel with their bike.
Option to choose between the rugged reliability of S&S Couplers or the lightweight, streamlined design of Z Couplers.
Hydraulic Brake Splitter for Internal Routing
For riders using hydraulic disc brakes with internal cable routing, we offer a hydraulic brake line splitter. This ensures clean internal routing while maintaining easy disassembly for travel.
Benefits of a Hydraulic Brake Splitter:
Allows for clean internal cable routing without compromising ease of travel.
Enables quick and mess-free disconnection and reconnection of hydraulic brake lines.
Ensures consistent braking performance after reassembly.
Ideal for riders who prefer a minimalist aesthetic with fully hidden cables.
Our brake splitter system ensures that your high-performance hydraulic brakes function seamlessly, even after multiple travel disassemblies.
Why Titanium + Couplers?
Titanium is the ideal material for a coupler-equipped bike. It's lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant, making it perfect for travel. With S&S or Z Couplers, you get the best of both worlds—Blaze Bicycles’ legendary ride quality and the convenience of a packable frame.
