Way to go Craig! 

He took 3rd in this race and 3rd overall in the series on his Titus El Guapo.  Looking forward to what he will do with the Rockstar 29er.

This is what Ray had to say about his Rockstar:
“Man! I am in love with this bike! It handles like a dream! I have never descended and cornered with such speed and confidence.”
Way to go Ray! Keep up the great work.

Pierre is just rocking on his X carbon.  He is fast!  Another medal on the shelf.  Great job Pierre!

One of our Brand Ambassadors Kristan took a misstep and broke his heel.  While that does knock him off the bike for a bit, he did get a bonus hardware upgrade.  He now has some new Titanium bits in his heel.  We think it will make him even faster.

Get well Kristan!

Is that a suspension upgrade?

 

Kristan’s making the best of it by riding a trainer with one cycling shoe and a flip flop.

 

Watch out for a few sneak peeks of Ed Oxley testing our Prototype El Guapo 29er in this video he’s just released with Whitenosugar Productions.

Titus FTM Aluminum, ride it.<br />
As you may know from my previous post, I took out a aluminum FTM from Titus yesterday.  I got a maiden voyage on her today.  I was really impressed with this version of the bike.  Firstly, this may dominate my whole line of thinking, but the bike is sized as the Large instead of the Medium I was riding.  The fit was spot on and felt immensely better. Dare I say that the Medium was too small for me?  I guess so.<br />
The other HUGE difference is the suspension duties performed by Fox on this bike whereas the carbon FTM demo had Rockshox.  The Rockshox Monarch was new and needed more time to open up but the Fox RP23 is in prime condition on this frame since it has been around the block a bit.  The RP23 also has more of a lockout which is really nice feature for gravel grinding in Forest Park.<br />
The shifting experiment also went well, but I would rather have XT or XTR than the XO shifters. The shifting was precise and great, but I am just use to the Shimano trigger shifters over the SRAM ones.  Kind of a personal choice decision more than a technical decision.<br />
The ride was pretty sloppy, so I scaled the speed back a bit to maintain control.  There were some fallen trees and debris from our last couple storms so going balls-to-the-walls was not recommended.  You may run into a tree if not careful out there.<br />
All in all, I have to admit I like the AL version of the FTM and was thinking that you could go either way and still have a pretty nice bike setup. The AL version will save you some cash which you could invest in a few more road trips.  I don&#8217;t think I have to give this one back for a while so I may go get some extended rides in.<br />
More to come later.<br />

On-One/Titus Brand Ambassador Kristan Rivers had an eventful start to the Malaysian race season this past weekend at the KIP MTB Jamboree. Click more for the full race report – be warned it gets quite graphic!

We don’t think we’ve made a big enough fuss about the 6.5lb of awesome that the Titus El Guapo is. We’ve been genuinely blown away by the performance of the bike, at any price, and our new business model means that we can kick every other manufacturer square in the teeth and offer a frame for $999 that simply laughs at everyone elses attempts.

We’ve been selling these out the door and having customers email us with “wow, these are awesome”. And it’s not just them. Legendary Bearded Trail Skills Guru Ed Oxley from Great-Rock has been riding El Guapo for two months now and is loving it.

Read more on Ed’s thoughts here, or watch his videos, below. El Guapo frames are available here.

 

Titus Brand Ambassador Pierre Cuevas topped the podium again this weekend on board his Titus Racer X at the 12 hours of Santos race in Ocala, Florida.
