Why titanium?
Titanium is legendarily hard to cut, weld and work with, but the benefits are clear at first sight: it’s highly resistant to fatigue, cracking and corrosion, extremely strong and incredibly light.
It maintains an exotic sheen that’s unmistakeable, and as the material of choice for pioneering spaceships, its exoticism goes beyond looks.
Undiscovered until 1791 – and named for the supremely strong Titans of Greek myth – titanium remains a wonder-material.
All this – plus a natural ‘springiness’ that damps vibration – makes it perfect for high-specification cycle components.
Ultra strong and light handlebar made from 3AL-2.5V titanium – the same alloy used in airliners, aero-engine parts and top-level motorsport components.
Titanium offers a winning combination of natural vibration damping and a superior strength-to-weight ratio along with lifelong corrosion resistance.
To maintain a natural hand position for XC riding and racing, there is a 0º rise on both options and the narrower option has a 5º backsweep.
Up to 50% stronger than pure titanium, 3AL-2.5V is alloyed with vanadium and aluminum
