Titanium Crown Jewel

Custom designed and crafted to fit each rider, the Ti Crown Jewel is a road rider's dream come true. The heritage of the Ti Crown Jewel design is our steel Crown Jewel which has an outstanding reputation both on and off the race course for exceptional handling and ride quality.

The Ti Crown Jewel made history upon its introduction in 2001 by being the first titanium frame 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.

The Ti Crown Jewel is the only ti frame available with carbon forks in 4 offsets so as to provide similar trail and handling throughout the range of sizing, yielding exceptional handling qualities. We partnered with Reynolds Composites and paid to have additional tooling made so that we could achieve this objective with the 1.125" Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork.
