Is titanium good for mountain bikes?
The material has its pros and cons, but few could argue with this wondrous metal’s ability to draw riders into it.
Titanium bikes and frames are not the cheapest, lightest, stiffest or fastest in most cases, but the raw finish of their tubes sets the hearts of some riders racing.
Whether it’s off-the-shelf or custom-built, a titanium bike can offer the ride of a lifetime, something that stands out from the crowd of cookie-cutter aluminium and carbon bikes.
As a tribute to titanium (or Ti for short), check out 5 Ti mountain bikes that are worthy of your attention. If you want your mountain bike to be special, you’ll want to watch this.
Would you buy a titanium bike, or do you already own one?

Hard to miss Litespeed when you talk about TI bikes
I have a titamium Esker Hayduke and it is amazing! I love how this frame feels and the geometry is in the perfect sweet spot and not overly long and slack like so many bikes these days. Long and slack is not a good way to have an all around bike, it's essentially only good for steep downhill at high speeds.

Oh yes Titanium… the worst of both worlds 😉
Ribble in uk do the HT with 65degre head and nx build for £2000
For a hardtail ti is great. Lightweight, no rust, supple ride, hard to scratch,
