ION BMX Ti18 Titanium 18” Frame
The ION Ti18 is a pure performance platform built for young riders who are ready to push harder, go faster, and ride longer. Crafted in an oxygen free/argon purged environment from certified aerospace-grade Gr5 Ti-6Al-4V titanium (headtube, bottom bracket, and dropouts) and Gr9 Ti-3Al-2.5V Titanium (tubing), the Ti18 delivers the perfect balance of stiffness, strength, and ultra-low weight—giving riders an edge whether they’re blasting transitions, hitting street lines, or carving dirt.
The geometry is all about control and progression. With an 18” top tube, 11.6” chainstay, and a steep 75° head tube angle, the Ti18 offers razor-sharp responsiveness while maintaining the stability needed for speed and flow. Titanium’s natural vibration-damping qualities reduce fatigue, letting riders stay locked in for longer sessions with maximum precision.
This isn’t just a smaller frame—it’s the future of BMX performance, scaled to perfection for the next generation.
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 4130 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.
-
Geometry for Progression: 18” TT / 75° HTA / 11.6” CS — fast, responsive, and confidence-inspiring.
-
Optimised Power Transfer: Mid BB at 10.5” height keeps riders quick out of turns and on jumps.
-
Dialled Setup: 14mm slotted dropouts with integrated tensioners for perfect chain alignment.
-
Lightweight Build: ~1200g — reduces weight without sacrificing stiffness or strength.
-
