Titanium (Ti) Bikes

Our current titanium range includes a varied selection of beautiful bikes for just about any type of riding. The Planet-X Hurricane, a mile melting, all-weather titanium speed with disc brake control. The Planet-X Spitfire is A Stripped back, powerfully smooth, rim braked titanium racer. The Planet X Tempest is a limitless titanium frame and big tyre luxury bike and the Titus Goldrush is a hand-built titanium, 650 or 700c gravel hyper tourer. We’ve been working with the best, most experienced titanium frame manufacturers for decades though, respecting the material and respecting what these awesome craftsmen do

Why Titanium? - We build bike frames from steel, alloy and carbon fibre and they’re all great at what they do. Steel is bomber strong, smooth and cheap. Alloy is lighter and stiffer for faster, feistier bikes at a keen price. We use carbon fibre for our lightest climb shrinking, day stretching frames or when we want race winning aero gains. But when we want to make something really special there’s only one choice: Titanium.

From an engineering point of view titanium is half the weight of steel for an equivalent strength yield so we can use larger diameter tubes for increased stiffness where we need it. It’s much stiffer and stronger than alloy so we don’t need the oversized tube diameters that kill ride feel. It’s inherently elastic rather than plastic so it has a sprung and resilient ‘life’ that you can never replicate in carbon fibre.

It’s also exceptionally corrosion, scratch and impact resistant compared to other materials, making it an almost indestructible investment however hard or far you ride. From an emotional point of view that means a titanium frame delivers a ride like nothing else. Leg boostingly light but lifetime strong to push your riding as far as you can dream.
