“Qunafa's focus on creating unique and high-quality cycling tour experiences has resulted in the development of their own line of bicycles, starting with the 3D Titanium called Shahrazad.”
Born to Travel
When the world locked down, we found freedom on two wheels. With borders closed and skies silent, we prototyped a dream frame that could swallow Sicilian switchbacks at dawn. Shahrazad is that lockdown love-child—engineered for the long story rides we all promised ourselves once the gates reopened.
Beyond the Spec Sheet: Identity Reclaimed
Most modern bicycles are built for the numbers: lighter, stiffer, faster. But in the race for technical perfection, something essential is often lost identity. The Qunafa Shahrazad was born as a response to that void. It is a premium titanium allroad bike designed for those who seek more than just data points. This isn't about the shortest time from A to B; it’s about the quality of every mile in between.
Handcrafted Performance for Every Terrain
We engineered the Shahrazad for the rides that don’t follow a script for the routes where the pavement turns to gravel without warning. This allroad frame has been tested and refined across the world's most demanding landscapes, from Sicily gravel, Etna altitude, California rain, Lombok and Bali Indonesia and Malorca, Spain.
The result is a ride that disappears beneath you. What remains is the pure experience:
The Compliance of Titanium: Natural vibration damping for long-distance endurance.
Climbing Rigidity: A stiff Geomatry for efficient power transfer on the steepest grades.
All-Terrain Control: Precise geometry that offers absolute poise on technical descents.
Comfort, Stiffness, Poetry
Three non-negotiables guided every CAD line:
- All-day comfort - oversized top-tube and 31.8 mm seatpost eat vibration like baklava crumbs.
- Sprint stiffness - Transfer every watt.
- Descent confidence - 40 mm tire clearance + tuned rake keep you ink-steady on the pen-lines of mountain roads.
Craft with a purpose: we donate 10% of our net profits to help people in need.
What makes it different
- 3D-printed titanium interfaces — Custom printed head tube.
- Ride-first geometry — Stable with bags, lively when unloaded; all-road Frame upto 40mm tire clearance
- Complete frameset value — for Gold: Includes frame, fork, seatpost, stem, headset, 2 bottle cages, 3d Saddle (Frameset, not a complete bike.) for Standard: Includes frame, fork, seatpost, stem.
- Limited where it counts — Palermo Gold run is 26 numbered frames only. and the Titanium 100 Frames will ever made.
Guarantees & support
- Lifetime warranty — on the Palermo Gold limited edition. Grade 5 Aerospace Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V)
- 5-year warranty — on standard production frames. Grade 9 Titanium (Ti-3Al-2.5V)
- Crash-replacement program — discounted replacement for first owners if the worst happens.
The Production Philosophy
Every Shahrazad is a Commissioned Build, forged in elite clusters to ensure the absolute integrity of our 3D-printed aerospace titanium.
-
The Commitment: We avoid the compromise of mass production. By building in limited clusters, our master welders and engineers provide undivided attention to every laser-etched detail and molecular bond.
-
The 90-Day Masterwork: Quality at this level requires a 12-week cycle. Your frame undergoes a transformation from raw Grade 5 Titanium to a finished, golden artifact.
Every Shahrazad Palermo frameset includes: 3D-Printed Saddle, Carbon Fork, Seatpost, and integrated Stem, and FSA Headset.
The Production Philosophy: Commissioned in Batches
"Every Shahrazad is a Commissioned Build, forged in elite clusters to ensure the absolute integrity of our 3D-printed aerospace titanium."
We avoid the compromises of mass production. To maintain our strict quality standards, we produce the Shahrazad Titanium in monthly batches.
-
The Forge Cycle (90 Days): Quality at this level requires a 12-week artisan cycle.
-
The Heritage Guarantee: Backed by a 5-year warranty and our premium crash-replacement program for original owners.
Why Did We Name the Bicycle Model “Shahrazad”?
A vengeful king, betrayed by his own wife, vows to marry and execute a new woman each day. Queen Shahrazad saves herself by captivating the king with unfinished stories (Arabian Nights is one of those stories) for one thousand and one nights, ultimately changing his heart.
We named our bike Shahrazad, drawing inspiration from the storytelling queen. The more you ride, the more stories you'll create... now it's our riders turn, to continue the story beyond a thousand and one nights.
The Evolution
The bicycle has evolved over the years since we started. Below are the bikes we've used throughout our journey.
