Titanium alloys offer the greatest combination of physical, mechanical and chemical properties to yield a frame with the best combination of durability, ride quality, stiffness and weight.

The density of titanium is nearly twice that of aluminum (though aluminum is the weaker of the two metals), but only 56% the density of steel. The stiffness of titanium is also about half that of steel. It therefore follows that the stiffness-to-weight ratio of the two metals is nearly the same. In English this means that titanium is nearly as strong as, but is lighter than steel.

Titanium is extremely resistant to corrosion. This property has lead to titanium’s use as storage containers for caustic materials in the chemical industry. This means that all the salty roads, messy mud and stream crossing you ride over or through will not rust your bicycle, ever. Titanium frames are lifetime frames.
