Austin has long been a proving ground for Titus and the Horst linkage. These thoroughbreds are designed around cutting edge suspension technology which delivers optimal performance for maximum speed and spot-on handling at the lightest weight possible. Crush the competition or your buddies on the next ride. X marks the spot when it comes to these high-performance racing frames.

Suspension

Titus’ unique suspension design yields maximum comfort, control and efficiency and it does it consistently across all types of terrain. Because their patented, four-bar suspension technology is fully active and independent, it is free to compress and rebound in an uninhibited manner. This keeps the tire on the ground a greater percentage of the time, yielding more traction for increased control over speed and direction; more comfort by remaining incredibly compliant; and more efficiency because chain torque helps move you forward – not up and down (ideal for bombing down limestone ledges in Austin).

The most important thing is that these suspension characteristics do not change if you’re going uphill or down. They don’t change if you ride cross country, all-mountain or downhill. They are constant and they are all addressed by the four-bar suspension system Titus employs on every  model. It’s the ultimate suspension system, no matter where or how you ride.

Ti

Titanium is where Titus started back in 1991 and to this day all Titus titanium frames are still built in their Tempe facility. Through the years our cutting edge design and tube fabrications as well as our meticulous attention to detail is what has positioned Titus as the one of the leading titanium frame companies in the world.

Titus uses only U.S. aerospace-grade; 3al/2.5v titanium tubing that is both butted and shaped in our own facility. Their state-of-the-art weld fixtures insure perfect frame alignment after welding and eliminate un-needed cold-working used by our competitors.

A Bicycle frame represents an ideal application for titanium tubing. 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.

Titanium is extremely resistant to corrosion. This property has lead to titanium’s use as storage containers for caustic materials in the chemical industry. For you as a cyclist, 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.
