PRODUCTION TITANIUM

(HI-yak) Chinook (Native American) meaning "fast" or "quick".

What could be better than pure acceleration married to a lightweight, comfortable ride? With the largest down tube of any production bike in its class the HYAK maximizes lateral rigidity while maintaining vertical compliance and comfort. Sherri Stedje, BBC Racing, 1997 Masters National Criterium champion "I feel like a speed demon, it just sticks on all the corners." Dance up those hills, jam over the top and give it all you've got in a mass sprint. All the best features of our world famous custom frames have been put into this bike. John Olsen, Bicycling Magazine (Ti Cycles HYAK, Bike of the Month), "The details on the frame are first-rate, with some of the cleanest welding I've ever seen on any titanium frame. On the road the bike felt light with the cat-like cornering of a criterium rig"

Here is what the Ti Cycles/BBC Racing team said about their HYAKs....

"It just blows the others away."

"It's very durable. The wound up fork is awesome. I feel like a speed demon, it just sticks on all the corners. It's super smooth and I have no fear of the wheel sliding out."

"The second I got on it felt really good. It felt so natural."

She couldn't get over how she just "connected" with the whole bike.
