Half the fun of riding is the unknown that awaits whenever you hit a new trail for the first time. As we all know, what might begin as well-groomed singletrack can soon morph into considerably more savage terrain. The best trails test all of your skills -- your fitness, your endurance, your bike handling, and your courage -- so it makes perfect sense to ride a bike with an equal span of versatility. The Titus Moto Lite 2 offers the picture-perfect example of versatility -- featuring 4" or 5” of adjustable travel in an amazing 5.8 pound package.

The Moto Lite 2 is crafted from aluminum with a triple-butted, hydroformed downtube and seat strut. These shaped tubes and oversized chainstays give the Moto Lite 2 a perfect boost of stiffness to keep its plushness from ever feeling mushy. It utilizes a strut-style Horst link suspension design with a custom valved Fox RP23 shock, giving it an ideal balance of pedaling performance and plushness. Beefy Horst dropouts with bushings further accentuate the stiffness and the trackability, making it agile and stable in most any downhill terrain. And, for 2007, the Moto Lite shaves some additonal weight via carbon seat stays and rocker link, much like those found on the Racer X.

You can adjust the travel of the ML 2 on the trail. It's easily accomplished by moving the lower shock mount allen bolt to its alternate position (5" is the top poisition, and the bottom is 4"). It accepts forks ranging from 100mm-145mm travel, and it has loads of tire clearance -- it can handle 2.4's without a problem.
