WHAT IS A TITANIUM BIKE?

A titanium bike is built with a frame made from titanium alloy, a metal known for being strong, light and naturally resistant to corrosion. Titanium frames offer a smooth, comfortable ride that absorbs road and trail vibration in a way similar to steel, but with less weight and greater strength. Titanium bikes are more complex to manufacture, which is why they often cost more than aluminium or steel. But a well-made titanium bike will last longer, making it a long-term investment for riders who want durability, comfort and timeless style.

ARE TITANIUM BIKES WORTH IT?

Yes. If you want a bike that balances performance, comfort and durability, titanium is unmatched. Many Ribble riders are still riding their Ti frames after decades.

ARE TITANIUM BIKES LIGHTER THAN CARBON?

Not always. Carbon can be lighter for race builds, but titanium is far tougher and has a more forgiving ride feel.

DO TITANIUM BIKES RUST?

No. Titanium is corrosion resistant, making it ideal for year-round UK riding.

IS TITANIUM GOOD FOR GRAVEL BIKES?

Absolutely. Titanium is perfect for gravel because it smooths out rough surfaces and stands up to off-road demands.
