At OBVIOUS, we have made the choice to only work with titanium frames.
Fans of this material renowned for its technical performances, we also love its unique aesthetic, both raw and elegant.
We wanted OBVIOUS bikes to be innovative, high-performance and elegant. We wanted to define every detail of their frame geometry. We wanted to push the sensations a little further on paths and tracks. Designing a titanium frame was obvious to create a bike that met our requirements and your expectations.
Titanium has unrivalled properties for cycling. It is one of the metals with the best strength/density ratio.
In practical terms, less material is used to obtain the same strength.
This alloy is widely used in the aerospace industry for applications where strength and stiffness are required but where weight is a critical factor.
In these applications, steel would be too heavy and aluminium too weak.
Titanium provides the perfect balance between weight and mechanical properties.
At first glance, the price of a titanium bike may seem daunting.
But the lifespan of a titanium frame is actually a very good investment.
Titanium also stands out for its durability: it is more resistant to fatigue, corrosion, impacts and falls than carbon, for example.
So the choice between a titanium or carbon bike is obvious for OBVIOUS. We use this material for :
Titanium offers the possibility of shaping and customising bikes to suit every rider. At OBVIOUS, you can order complete bikes or titanium frame kits. We can also customise our models according to your wishes, your needs and your own style to create the made-to-measure titanium bike of your dreams! !
