Performance, style, comfort and durability. That's what a titanium frame can do for you !
At OBVIOUS, we have made the choice to only work with titanium frames.
Fans of this material renowned for its qualities of use and technical performance, we also love its unique aesthetic, both raw and elegant.
A titanium frame, like an evidence...
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 - which qualities on a bike ?
Titanium, unrivalled properties
As a manufacturer of titanium bicycles, we use Grade 9, also said Ti3AI2.5V titanium, which provides a stiff and precise titanium frame.
It has its own elastic behaviour and superior damping characteristics to other metals.
Contrary to popular belief, titanium is rigid and is used to make extremely competitive bikes. Its ability to filter and absorb vibrations should not be confused with flexibility.
These qualities enable us to create very light frames and to offer incredible riding feel and pedalling support .
Titanium, a unfailing strength
Le titane a des propriétés inégalées dans la pratique du cyclisme. C’est l’un des métaux avec le meilleur rapport résistance/densité (supérieur à ceux de l'acier et de l'aluminium)
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.
Titanium, the choice for durability
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! !
So far, you've been cycling...
Now's the time to live the OBVIOUS experience !
