Gregor-bikes was named in the memory of the man that discovered titanium in 1791 –
“William Gregor”
All Gregor bikes are made of GRADE 9 TITANIUM (TI 3AL 2.5 V). This alloy with 3% aluminum and 2,5% vanadium is the same alloy used in the aircraft industry for tubing.
Titanium’s resilience and durability make it an ideal material for bicycle frames. It can withstand the demands of various riding conditions, offering a comfortable and reliable platform for cyclists. Titanium’s flexibility helps absorb road vibrations and impacts, enhancing comfort without sacrificing performance.
Is titanium the best material to build a bicycle frame out of?
Whether titanium is still the best material to build frames with?
“For me, the perfect material doesn’t exist.
It depends on the individual rider and the purpose of the bike, you have to choose the material that suits you best. Titanium is a great material because of its lightness, it’s lighter than steel, doesn’t rust and can last a lifetime if the frame is manufactured properly. Although it is heavier than carbon and less responsive, I believe that currently nearly 90 percent of top-end bikes are too stiff and overly performance-oriented for the average cyclist. At Gregor-bikes, we follow your geometry and needs to create the best bike for you.”
