PLUSH
RIDING and SWEET HANDLING
Titanium FRAMES! +
Built with
Tour de France winning SRAM shifting technology.
SRAM Apex 20 speed cranks
The Century Ti frames have a bit longer head tube so riders can have a more relaxed position on the bike than the Le Champion Ti. Choose this Century Titanium if you want a more relaxed and upright position.
The Century Titanium series of bikes has one of the highest level frames available - Double Butted 3/2.5 Titanium tubing. The geometry is specifically designed to deliver the most comfortable ride and riding positions. The front and rear tire clearance is so generous the Century Titanium comes with 700x32c tires. One can even use tires as wide as 40mm for an even more unbelievably comfortable and secure ride.
(40mm tires not included, see www.bikeisland.com to purchase wider tires)

YES

How Good is the
Frame?
This
is based on Motobecane's BEST Butted Titanium frame. The wheel base lengthened and the angles slackened just enough to provide one of the most comfortable rides you will ever experience. Incredibly comfortable, lightweight and strong.
This 3.3 lb (mfg stated), Butted, 3/2.5 Titanium Frame and Carbon Fiber fork is based on the Le Champion Titanium frame tested by professional magazine editors to rave
reviews. To name just a few: Roadie International and Road
Magazine tested Titanium framed Le Champions for several MONTHS and all the editors raved
about it! FULL MOTOBECANE USA WARRANTY
What Does The Century Elite Titanium Compare To:

housebrand wheels for $2,000+ when you can have a FULL Titanium Bike /
