When Tim Johnson won the National Cyclocross Championship last
year aboard our steel Planet Cross, we were hard pressed to figure
out how we might improve this racing machine.
We set about to create a titanium version of this race proven classic.
S-bend stays for mud clearance, tall head tube for lots of shoulder
room when portaging and race winning IF steel cyclocross fork make
the Ti Planet Cross a top contender on any course.
The Ti Planet Cross made history upon its introduction at Interbike
by being the first titanium 'cross bike to be shot peened. Shot
peening provides a uniquely lustrous finish, stress relieves the
frame and dramatically increases the fatigue life in the heat affected
zones.
