Ten:07 Unicorn Pony Titanium

The little cargo bike gets a dream material makeover

Four months ago I wrote about the Unicorn Pony and spent most of it on the name, because in Slovenia Pony means Rog, 1964, and a mountain full of people riding single-speed relics up Vršič mountain pass in retro outfits. Ten:07 have now built one in titanium, and it looks absolutely brilliant.

Titanium is what people build dream bikes from, and a cargo bike is the least precious object in any household: loaded with crates, leaned against damp walls, scraped by a child's shoes, locked to whatever is closest. My own mini cargo has a top tube marked by every lock, strap and buckle it has ever met. Putting the two together sounds absurd for about five seconds, and then it starts to sound like the smartest thing you could do with the material. This is the bike that gets used hardest and thrown away last. Raw titanium is unbothered by all of it, and it will look exactly like this in fifteen years.

The weight is the part I am most curious about. A mini cargo is a bike you feel most keenly when you are lifting it over a kerb or hauling it up a flight of stairs, which happens more often in a day than you would like. Ten:07 have not published a figure yet, but they say it is noticeably lighter to carry, and on a bike this small that is the difference between an errand and a chore.

Otherwise this is the Pony, which is the point. Same compact footprint, 20"/24", one-size-fits-most, belt-drive compatible, internal dynamo and dropper routing, 3-pack mounts on the fork and down tube, double kickstand support, the optional MIK/AVS cargo base, and the quick-release platform the Unicorn has been famous for since the beginning. Nothing has been redesigned; it has simply been rebuilt in the good stuff.

The steel version starts at €999 for a frame kit. Titanium pricing is still to be announced, with pre-orders opening in Q4 2026, and it will not be a bargain, which is fine.

Nobody buys titanium on a value-per-euro basis. You buy it because you have decided this is the bike you are keeping.

Small, tough, endlessly useful, and now built to outlive everyone involved. Not eligible for Goni Pony, sadly, but it would be the first Pony to make Vršič look easy.
