TITANIUM bike
Our Avalanche Titanium model was designed to offer you the experience of a bike combining lightness, performance and comfort.
Titanium is a material that has natural elasticity offering superior vibration filtration than other materials (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, carbon, etc.). It has a unique ride quality, making your bike particularly lively and responsive.
It is a material which has excellent resistance to fatigue, but also to corrosion or falls. Where carbon, although light, will prove fragile and may crack during falls, titanium will guarantee you both lightness and robustness. All these features make it the ultimate, high-end material for your future bike.
We have developed a frame with a fluid and pure line, with parts developed and designed specifically for this frame. Thanks to the latest titanium 3D printing technologies, our bike incorporates elegant and invisible saddle clamping, while accommodating market seat post standards. At Avalanche, we believe that design and innovation should not be incompatible with the durability of your bike, and this requires the use of standard components, which will be easy for you to change or replace throughout the life of your bike. your life. Our dropouts are also designed and developed specifically for our bikes. Also using the latest titanium 3D printing technologies, they allow us to combine lightness and resistance within a unique design. They incorporate the universal derailleur hanger developed by Sram, which will allow you to easily replace it in the event of a problem.
Each frame will of course be adapted to your body type and your practice and will be designed and manufactured-to-measure.
It is available in 2 models: The “road” model, for tires up to 32mm / the “gravel” model, for tires up to 45mm

FINISH
Contrary to popular belief, titanium can be painted, and is not condemned to remaining only gray and sanded.
At Avalanche, we love the color, but we also love the raw finish of titanium. In order to enhance this exceptional material, while making your machine a unique and personal object, we have chosen to paint part of the frame, while leaving a large part of the rear triangle raw. We can think together about the exact finish of your future bike, on these painted parts, and imagine a personal graphic creation that will make your machine even more unique. Let's discuss it together.
MAIN STEPS
If you have ready to launch the project of your bespoked bike, here are the main steps that we can follow together
01 / CONTACT
We can meet in person at the workshop, but we can also chat by email, phone or Skype.
03 / FITTING SESSION
We will welcome you to the workshop for a complete measurement and a dynamic test on a study bike.
If you can't come to us, no problem. You can have your bike fitting carried out by a professional near you, and, if you wish, we can even contact them to explain what we need
05 / MANUFACTURING AND PAINTING
Once the drawing has been validated, we make your frame. We will keep you informed of the project progress with photos of the main stages of manufacture.
Painting and finishing is also an important step where you will be involved. We will best help you choose the graphic design of your future bike, with simulations and samples.
07/ RECEPTION/ EXPEDITION
Your bike is ready! It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for. Reception will take place at the workshop if you can come. Otherwise we will send it to you, regardless of where you live. (additional charges will be added)
We will ask you to pay the remaining balance before delivery
02 / QUOTE AND DEPOSIT
Following our discussion, we will establish a detailed estimate. Once the quote has been explained and accepted, we will ask you to pay a 30% non-refundable deposit. This deposit puts your project on the waiting list.
04 / GEOMETRY VALIDATION
We will then send you a complete file, with the first drawing of the bike. The design of the bike can be modified until you are comfortable with this proposal
06 / MOUTING
In most cases, we take care of the components purchase and installation. Before assembly we can ask you to pay a second deposit of 30% for the parts purchase.
