Titanium alloy material has a high tensile, high yield strength, and high pressure bearing capacity. It contains half the density as that of steel, however, it is much stronger than steel. This makes it a popular material for use in the competitive cycling industry.
Titanium alloy materials of GR9(Ti-3Al-2.5V) are commonly used on bicycle frames, thereby making a titanium bicycle lighter and stronger than one made up of steel.
