What You Should Know...

it comes to titanium, the more pure the metal
the stiffer the
bicycle. The stiffer the bike, the better the ride!
There are two major types of titanium used in bikes.
The first kind is used in the majority of bikes, it has a 'softer' feel to it when you ride.
The second type is much stiffer and thus you feel it when you ride.
The second kind is has been used in fewer bikes. It is 'newer' to the industry.
You should find some bike shops in your area which carry different brands of titanium bicycles and ride them.
This gives you the opportunity to find out for yourself which brand you enjoy the best.
Some brands use different qualities of titanium which give them a different feel.
They also use different engineering techniques for their frame design.
You could notice a difference in the ride of the bike depending on the design.
What Can You Expect to Pay?
Like carbon fiber bikes, titanium are more expensive than other materials.You can reasonably expect to pay between $1500-3000 for a titanium bicycle frame.
Once you add on everything else, you are looking at $2200-5000 for the complete road bike.
Your Titanium bike comes with a steep price tag!
Once you get your titanium bike you will enjoy the ride you get on it.
The great thing about titanium is the weather has little to no effect on it.
Titanium is such a great material for a bike it can last for many years and many miles.
Get out there and start enjoying the ride!
