When you’re out on a killer ride, the last thing on your mind should be what’s your bike made of, how it’s been welded, or if the suspension linkage has really been optimized to give you the best performance possible (that’s our job). It should be about the ride; the confidence, the power, and the inspiration to ride faster and longer. It’s the feeling that your bike is an extension of your own body. That’s the experience that Titus has been providing for almost 16 years. From day one, our goal has always been to provide you with the best riding and best fitting bikes in the world. To that end, we have dedicated our selves to fitting every size rider imaginable and using the latest cutting edge technologies to build bikes that outperform any bike you’ve ever ridden. We have more technology, more performance, and more real innovation to give you a better ride than you’ve ever seen from a bike manufacturer. Here’s a good look at the monster-size can of technology whoop-ass we’ve unleashed for 2006.
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.

Yes, there’s a lot of carbon bikes out there, but we guarantee you, there’s nothing quite like this. The secret is in the grid. Isogrid tubes incorporate a structure of raised composite ribs to the inside of the tubes that reinforce the tube keeping it stiff and strong. It’s like adding a roll cage for the inside of your bike, allowing us to build lighter, stronger tubes while at the same time having another way to perfectly tune your ride with the size and spacing of the grid. The pictures just can not do it justice. When you get a chance to see one of our new Isogrid models in person, look closely and you can see the grid through the tube. It’s the signature of a bike that’s built to perform.
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.
