Ti29 - Mk1.5 Titanium 29er


The Titanium 29er from Torus Bicycles combines the timeless quality of titanium tubing with the modern simplicity of the 29er hardtail - The Torus Ti 29er is an inspirational ride.

The Ti 29er was designed in the UK, by Justin Burls, as a cross country and marathon bike for the Clee Cycles Race Team – Race bred to give you the advantage on the trails.

Designed for a 100 mm suspension fork, it will also ride beautifully with an 80 mm suspension fork, or a rigid fork (470 mm length).

Simple plain gauge Ti-3Al-2.5V tubing, Ti-6Al-4V dropouts, head tube and bottom bracket shell are all precision shaped and welded to our design.  This frame is light, tough and floats over the rough stuff.

Available with cowled fixed dropouts or sliding dropouts.  The cowled fixed dropouts keep the weight low on a standard geared (derailleur) setup.  While, sliding dropouts provide maximum versatility - can be run with a derailleur, hub gear or singlespeed.

Geometry is based on a 470 mm axle to crown fork length which is equivalent to an 80 mm fork sagged 10 mm.  A 100 mm fork will slacken the angles by 1 degree!
