When we talk about titanium, the first thought goes to the durability and matte gray of this unique material. Worked by the expert hands of Gios Turin, is used to make the new Titanio WRL 2024 model. A symphony of technical solutions that they meet the needs of the cyclist and are guarantee of comfort and reliability: the custom construction makes it a bike ready to meet every expectation.
Technical improvements
The Titanio WRL 2024 is born from the success of the previous model and boasts technical solutions that aim to improve performance and aesthetics.
«The new 2024 model – explains Marco Gios – mounts an oversized bottom bracket shell, specifically the T47. This allows the internal wiring of the hydraulic sheaths to pass completely through. The 1” 1/8 tapered head tube is used to pass all the cable housings and is also available in a non-conical version.
«As regards the new aesthetic details – underlines Gios – we find the anodized finish of the Gios Torino logo on the frame and the matte black finish of the fork, a detail we had never done before. Titanium can also be painted in the traditional livery, but Usually, those who choose a bike made with this material are pleased to see the titanium in its natural color.So, precisely to avoid having to use paint, we resorted to anodizing. The writing that we previously sandblasted and remained slightly tone-on-tone, now they stand out more and give the bike an even more unique style».
Prelude to a Kiss
As per Gios Torino tradition, each bike ordered is custom madeThis leads to a custom-made geometry and the implementation of any details requested by the customer.
«Our bicycles – Gios reiterates – are made to measure, so the Titanio WRL 2024 can be a road bike, but also a gravel bikeThe material is in fact very suitable for off-road riding. We have the freedom to produce any type of bike, any geometry you want to explore. We supply the frame kit and fork, but we only fit Campagnolo, so let's say you can have it with any group in their catalog.
"As for the fork compatibility with tires – concludes Gios – Deda allows you to reach up to 30 mm. While on gravel you can even reach 40. The geometry is traditional, with very little sloping. We use it only when necessary to avoid placing shims under the stem and allow for a better passage of hydraulic sheathsIf the customer requests provisions for luggage racks or bags, we are ready to accommodate them without any problems."
The WRL is made with Deda K19 grade 9 tubing obviously tailor-made for a weight overall frame weight of 1.400 grams and 380 grams for the fork. price for the kit it is 3.950 euros.
