👀 Are you into gravel bikes? We have something for you - we manufacture certified high-end gravel bikes.
Bikes built where they are ridden.
Every Irondeer bike begins as a sheet of carbon and ends in the hands of riders on the Atlantic. Designed, machined, and assembled in our Nazaré workshop — engineered for the climbs, headwinds, and gravel that surround it.
0.3mm
Frame tolerance, every weld
Three years of riding the Silver Coast taught us what a bike has to do here.
Steep punchy climbs out of Nazaré. Headwinds along the coastal road. Gravel switchbacks above São Martinho. Cobbles in the old town. Every Irondeer bike is engineered for that exact mix — not a generic Alpine grand-fondo, not a pure gravel rig. A bike that wins on the terrain we ride every weekend.
What we build
Four disciplines, one workshop.
Manufacturing for us is not a slogan. It is four distinct teams that hand a bike to each other before a rider ever sees it. Each one carries the discipline of the last.
01 / Frame
Monocoque carbon layup
T800 and T1000 carbon laid by hand into precision moulds. Cured under autoclave pressure. Inspected for void rate before a single bond is made.
12 frames per week
02 / Machining
CNC-machined hard parts
Dropouts, headset cups, BB shells, and bottle bosses milled from 7075-T6 aluminium on five-axis CNC. Tolerances tighter than a generic OEM part.
0.02mm tolerance
03 / Wheels
Hand-laced wheelsets
Built in partnership with Elitewheels — Irondeer is their only official partner in Portugal. Hand-laced, tensioned, and trued in our workshop, not a factory in another country.
Lifetime hub guarantee
04 / Assembly
Hand-finished assembly
Every bike is assembled, torqued, and bedded-in by a senior mechanic. Test-ridden on the same coastal loop you'll ride. Then signed off — by name.
Mechanic-signed delivery

Across road, gravel, and MTB platforms since 2022.
On every dropout and headset cup leaving the shop.
Backed by us, not a distributor in another country.
No conveyor. No outsourced final build. Every bike, every time.
Carbon, the way it should be done.
Most carbon frames are laid up at scale, in factories where the layup schedule is generic and the carbon is whatever was cheapest that quarter. We do it differently. Each Irondeer frame uses a tuned layup — front-triangle stiffness for sprinters, compliant rear-triangle for endurance riders, custom stack heights for racers.
Every frame is post-cure inspected with ultrasonic void detection before any paint or bonding work begins. If we wouldn't ride it, we don't ship it.
Materials & components — what goes into the bike.
We are open about every spec, every supplier. No marketing carbon-fibre mystery. Here is what is on, in, and around every Irondeer bike.
T800 & T1000 carbon
Toray-grade carbon prepreg, sourced from a vetted European converter. Every roll is batch-traced from frame to finished bike.
7075-T6 aluminium
Aerospace-grade aluminium for dropouts, BB shells, and headset cups. Heat-treated, anodised, and CNC-finished in-house.
Elitewheels partnership
Hand-laced wheelsets with Elitewheels rims and hubs. Irondeer is the only official Elitewheels partner in Portugal.
Electronic groupsets
Shimano Di2 and SRAM AXS as standard on flagship builds. Mechanical groupsets remain available on request.
Ceramic bearings
Hybrid ceramic bearings on every BB and hub on the Iron-1 line. Lower friction, longer service interval.
In-house finishing
Every paint job is sprayed, cleared, and cured in our own paint booth. Custom liveries on request, with no factory minimums.
From sketch to first ride — the build process.
Six steps. No shortcuts. Every bike that leaves our workshop has been through exactly this sequence — whether it is a stock Iron-1 or a one-off custom for a returning rider.
