Ti springs are the choice of champions!
It used to be that you had to be a bona fide World Championship contender to get a Ti spring onto your bike, now you can just ring us and get one!
Save up to a pound and a half, go faster? what are you waiting for?!...
Titanium is by far the best material for a coiled compression spring currently available.
It has a much higher ability than even the best spring steels. Because a bicycle spring is pushing the limits of spring design by squeezing a lot of travel into a very small space and with very high spring rates, spring steels are right at the edge of their capability - wind on a few turns of preload and you can push them over the edge into coil binding situations. Titanium is capable of reaching the spring rates we need with less material and less coils, less material and less coils equal more safe travel.
On top of the substantial weight reduction and performance increase with Ti - the lighter coils affect the compression-ability and the lighter frequency oscillations within the spring in use are easier for the rebound and compression to control. It's win, win, win...
