AS FEATURED ON THE WHYTE 19 TRAIL TI
As with Whyte's carbon fibre technology philosophy, when it came to engineering a world class conteporary titanium hardtail, we looked no further than the finest factory in the world, with an unmatched quality and guaranteed material certification.
Litespeed know titanium, and we are now able to couple the expertise and passion for technology at this world class NASA subcontractor, with Whyte's own UK designers to offer the ultimate trail hardtail in the classic hardtail frame material of choice... Titanium.
As with our eponymous aluminium Whyte 19, the new titanium Whyte 19T features new and exciting technology from the outset, and some elegant tube shapes. We chose to couple a classic looking tubeset in cold worked 3AL-2.5V titanium with a simple and elegant seat stay design that does away with unnecessary welding and enhances the ride comfort and feel inherent in titanium, still further.
Using longer, uninterrupted and curving tubes for the seat stays allows more trail feedback to disperse through the chassis and adds comfort compared with shorter tubes joined with unnecessary welds that are more commonly used in monostay designs.
We also include the latest BB30 bottom bracket technology for lightweight, additional stiffness with long bearing life and finally our celebrated 19 dropout, allowing geometry adjustment and even hassle-free conversion to singlespeed transmission.
Combining this technology with our very latest 19 Trail bike geometry and designed from the start for a 120mm travel fork, we have a lightweight, responsive ride with that legendary ride "feel" that only titanium can offer.
