We test a $12,000 Titanium Mountain Bike - Is It Worth the Hype?

[@sultanabran1]

i have a titanium hardtail and since i got it, girls can't stop throwing their underwear at me.

[@Klunker1]

I’ve had the same experience.

[@davestrain9529]

Like..Duhh..Since like..1999..Im 54 now ( still a Nuisance).

[@Zaba...]

More Ti please

[@hardmtnbiker]

I see this sub-segment of hardtail’s getting more popular but I think Sage missed the detail to allow the frame to accommodate 2.6” tires.

[@sagetitanium3618]

Actually with our new 3D printed yoke, we can easily fit 29x2.6" tires in the frame. When this frame was built, we did not have the yoke made, but we just debuted it at Sea Otter and all of our MTB"s now come with it for BIG tire clearance.

[@hardmtnbiker]

@@sagetitanium3618 that’s awesome! Are you going to do the 3D printed seat stay/seat tube/top tube like Neuhaus Metal works does?

[@sagetitanium3618]

Not at this time. Focusing on some other areas and design work for the 3D parts. We will get to those areas eventually but there is a plan in place we need to follow first.

[@bktsoat]

Love the bigger rear clearance. Would / could there be room for 3.0?

[@tamasszabo8824]

@@sagetitanium3618 How much would this bike weigh in a medium frame? Thanks!

[@mumpf7594]

internal cable routing is great. What about titanium fullies?

[@sagetitanium3618]

We are working on something....

[@marceloneira968]

[@johnbravo7542]

I wouldn't waste my money on that geez loueez

[@AJott76]

....and no titanium cranks?🤣mine have titanium cranks😁

[@davidhenderson1738]

What about your stem is that titanium too?

[@weedmanwestvancouverbc9266]

Morati

[@UltimateEnd0]

At that price, I would be scared to scratch it.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I know Motocross Action mag used to be a lot better than the generation running it today. I can see we have a generational decline. You should all form a "class action law suit", and sue your schools, but you will never figure out why.

[@AppleJack76]

Keep your day job. Acting is not in cards, with that intro.

[@petersauer94]

$12,000 for a hardtail ! So what it's made from titanium ! you know were you can shove it

[@weedmanwestvancouverbc9266]

I have a 10,000 titanium frame bike in my stable. Road bike made by naked on quadra, titanium rock. Damn it's a nice ride I'm really looking forward to my first century on it when the weather improves
