 The most technically advanced tubing ever produced. Riders look at our Exogrid
bikes and think it is the coolest thing they’ve ever seen. That it certainly
is, but it is also so much more. Exogrid is like a match made in heaven between
titanium and carbon fiber - The ultimate fusion of technologies. We take the
incredible strength and feel of titanium, and add the weight savings and stiffness
of high modulus composites in order to lighten, strengthen and tune the ride
of each tube on your new frame. Here’s how it works: We start with an
aerospace-grade titanium tube and “laser” cut the center away until
just a titanium skeleton remains. (In some cases we remove up to ½ pound
of titanium.) We then create a reinforcement of carbon fiber that is both lighter
and stiffer in certain directions than the titanium material it replaces. You
won’t believe the ride! It’s technology that really makes a difference
in the ride of your new bike.

Take a close look at the seamless transition between the beautifully sculpted
lugs on our Isogrid models, and the way in which the diamonds and titanium
form one continuous union on our Exogrid models. This perfectly seamless blend
of materials is Bi-fusion. Whether it be Exogrid or Isogrid, the entire tube
is made as a unit. It’s not just a carbon tube inside of a titanium tube,
or a carbon tube with titanium lugs, Bi-Fusion creates one continuous titanium/composite
hybrid that is lighter, stronger, and optimized to give you ride characteristics
that are un-obtainable from a titanium or carbon fiber tube on their own. Are
you starting to see a theme here? We are taking the science of cycling to a
whole new level.
