I had ridden the Titus Motolite at the last two Interbike Tradeshows and loved it! So, I decided to get one for myself this year. So far I’ve been loving this bike. It’s 5″ of travel makes it feel a little more aggressive than your average 4″ travel XC Mt Bike but at 27 lbs it still feels like a rocket ship going up hill. Of course I’m a pretty big fan of a true Four Bar Link suspension design so no surprise that it pedals great and stays plush under braking on the descents. There are a lot of bikes out there that can claim this weight for this amount of travel. But, I’ve ridden most of them and can honestly say the Motolite rides the best. Not to mention that it is made in the good ‘ol USA.
