It has optimal, strength, fatigue endurance and corrosion-resistance. In fact, Titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all known metals, having the same strength as steel but saving 45% of the weight. Every tube, weld, profile, and feature has been meticulously designed to offer strength, responsiveness, comfort, and lightness. With an unmistakable ride quality, titanium is extremely corrosion resistant, meaning no rust (inside or out) whatever the climate.
