Titus offers a full range of custom options for the Racer X Ti, and none is more popular around here than upgrading to 29" wheels. The Titus Racer X Titanium 29er provides superb traction, fast-rolling characteristics, and stability to spare. This stability is the most dramatic difference you'll feel in comparison to a 26" wheel. 29" wheels allow you to sit "between the wheels" rather than above them, effectively lowering your center of gravity and providing you with better all-around bike handling.
Like the standard Racer X Ti, you get a strut-style Horst link design, and the traditional rockers you see on a Horst bike are instead replaced by an ultralight three-piece carbon fiber X-Link linkage. The swingarm has tapered tubes and a hollow boxed lower forging. A Fox RP23 smooths out trail vibration, and you'll feel unparalleled torsional stiffness thanks to its use of four oversized cartridge bearings stacked at the main pivot and aluminum seatstays.
Stock geometry is available for the Titus Racer X Ti 29 in Small, Medium and Large -- each can accomodate 80 or 100mm forks. The 29er requires a 30.9 mm seatpost and a 34.9mm top-swing, dual-pull front derailleur. Custom geometry is also available and the $300 upcharge will be added to your order after it is placed.
