- Big wheels, one gear and erotic frame materials. That's what the Optimus Ti is all about. And no, that's not a typo. We said EROTIC, 'cause this frame is just plain sexy (in a dirty way).
- Seamless 3AI/2.5V titanium is as good as it gets. Mix that with the beautiful laser-cut 6/4 titanium plate gussets, sliding dropouts, add a heaping portion of WetCat geometry, and you have pretty much maxed out the velo-lust meter.
- Vassago 29er specific Wet Cat Geometry Hand made in the USA
- You won't find any cheepo, creaky, knock-off sliders here. California based Paragon Machine Works sets the standard for custom-quality sliding dropouts which means the Optimus Ti boasts a laterally stiff, creeek-free rear end that keeps the wheel tracking true in any condition.
- When merging the legendary ride quality of fine titanium, the balanced handling of WetCat geometry and artisan-quality weld beads who's perfection would make an ogre cry, the result is a ti 29er that is truly worthy of the name Optimus Ti.
