The ION Ti16 isn’t just a downsized frame—it’s a high-performance machine built for young riders who demand pro-level responsiveness.
Hand-certified aerospace-grade Gr5 Ti-6Al-4V Titanium (headtube, bottom bracket, and dropouts) and Gr9 Ti-3Al-2.5V Titanium (tubing), the Ti16 is precision engineered to deliver unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, lightning-fast handling, and a ride feel you won’t get from steel or alloy.
The geometry is tuned for performance: a 16” top tube paired with a 74.5° head tube angle keeps the bike snappy and aggressive, while the 10.6” chainstay balances stability with manoeuvrability. Every tube and weld is designed to reduce weight without sacrificing stiffness, giving younger riders a frame that reacts instantly to every pump, carve, and hop.
This is the same material and build quality trusted in aerospace and elite motor sports—scaled perfectly for the next generation of BMX progression.
Performance Highlights:
- Material Advantage: The cold, hard facts.
- Aerospace-grade certified Gr5 Ti-6Al-4V head tube, bottom bracket and dropouts, with approximately up to 98% higher yield strength vs. standard 4130 Chromoly Steel.
- Aerospace-grade certified Gr9 Ti-3Al-2.5V tubing, with approximately up to 22% higher yield strength vs. standard 4130 Chromoly Steel.
- Only 56-57% of the material density of standard chromoly steel, which when you run the numbers, equates to approximately up to a 72% maximum weight reduction vs. an equal-strength 4130 Chromoly Steel Frame. So, you know these frames are tough, sitting at approximately half the weight of equivalent size frames on the market, there's plenty of beef in them.
- These aren't just numbers - they make for unmatched durability and ride feel that you won't get in any other frame.
