TITANIUM MOUNTAINBIKE FRAMES: BUILT TO LAST

The PRIMUM is built for riders who like to keep the pace high, whether you’re tearing through local singletrack or taking on a marathon event. It feels quick and direct, with titanium’s smooth, steady feel backing you up on rougher sections.

It’s light, tough, and eager to be pushed — a frame that’s right at home when the speed goes up.

The DURO is built for long days and big adventures — the kind of rides where you don’t want to think about maintenance or fragile parts. Whether you’re taking on marathon races or multi-day trekking routes, the DURO is made to keep going. It’s a comfortable bike, but still efficient, with the titanium frame soaking up small hits and sharp edges without dulling the ride. You can feel it wanting to move forward. The frame’s stiffness is right where it matters: around the bottom bracket and the head tube. When you put power down, the DURO responds and quickly picks up speed. The steering is sharp and precise, but never twitchy. With the Pinion gearbox sitting low and centered in the frame, the weight distribution feels spot-on — very different from systems like a Rohloff, where most of the weight sits in the rear wheel. Even on steep climbs, the front wheel stays planted, giving you the grip and control you need. Point it downhill and the DURO gives you confidence. This is a bike built to handle real adventure, day after day.

Choosing your own titanium MTB frame means starting with a frame you trust. Titanium can take on real trails, long days, and rough spots without making a big deal out of it. It’s strong, it doesn’t rust, and it keeps a smooth, steady feel even when the terrain gets messy or the ride stretches on. Building from a titanium frame also gives you the freedom to put the bike together the way you like to ride. Maybe you want a fast and responsive XC setup, a lively trail bike that can handle technical lines, or a frame ready for big backcountry days with gear strapped on. Whatever your style, choosing the frame first lets you pick every detail yourself — the fork, the wheels, the drivetrain, the cockpit — and fine-tune it until everything feels just right. A good titanium frame isn’t something you replace after a few seasons. It’s a long-term riding partner that only gets better with time. So picking the right one is more than just the first step in a build — it’s the beginning of a bike that’s going to bring you confidence, comfort, and a lot of good miles on every trail you choose.

Does titanium get scratched easily?
It can pick up small marks, but they’re usually easy to rub out. And without paint, you don’t have to worry about chips or peeling.
