The mechanical properties of titanium allow us to reduce the weight of the frame whilst maintaining the fantastic ride quality and compliance. Titanium is a beautiful material that is incredibly tactile and the raw finish highlights its natural beauty. We opted for 6066 aluminum chainstays, primarily for weight saving and stiffness, but the chainstay also houses bearings which is more difficult to do in steel. Building the chainstay out of aluminum helps strike the right balance of compliance and rigidity. The largest weight gains\/unit cost are made in the front triangle tubing, which is why we opted for steel and aluminum rear end. The rocker is made from forged aluminum due to its strength\/weight ratio and ability to be machined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/us.chromagbikes.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/darco-ti-4196_68805a8f-6d1f-49e8-8e91-bfb24bdfb74a.jpg?v=1670439924\" alt=\"MATERIAL SELECTION\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content__holder accordion-content__holder--truncate\" data-truncated-holder\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content__inner\"\u003e\n              \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content__entry\" data-truncated-content=\"accordion-content__entry--truncate\"\u003e\n                \n                  \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe’ve been making bikes for almost 20 years, and all of this knowledge and expertise has trickled down into creating The Darco.
