Mountain bike suspension kinematics wizards Canfield Bikes just announced a rowdy, limited-edition titanium version of its classic hardtail. The Ti Nimble 9 shaves 1.5 lbs from its steel sibling and still sports a 150 mm fork with a trail-tuned geometry, adjustable chainstays for ride tuning or single-speed riding, and a chainstay yoke for optimized tire/chainring clearance. The Nimble 9 has been imbued with the suppleness and responsiveness of titanium but is just as playful and intuitive, ensuring it still lives up to its name.

Tyler from BTCHN Bikes has a pre-order running for his titanium bullmoose bars ($480) he debuted at this year’s MADE Bike Show on his Geoshift hardtail.

We’ve got a review coming up next week but we wanted to alert our readership that they do indeed rule, offer just the right amount of flex, without being too springy, plus look the part, even mimicking Tom Ritchey’s OG Bullmoose with just the right amount of shaping/ovalizing on the twin struts.
