All sizes sport a 67-degree head angle, 73.5-degree effective seat tube angle and 45mm stem length.Īccording to Halfords, the size large (tested) should fit anyone from 180 to 190cm (5ft 11in to 6ft 3in). The Titan X is available in three sizes only: small, medium and large. The frame is not the most refined-looking in terms of welds and cable-routing, and the rear axle is a 10x135mm quick release affair, which arguably makes it harder to upgrade wheels down the line, but isn’t a deal breaker on the trail. The frame isn't refined looking, but it’s a great overall package for the price, if it fits. The fork offers a lockout dial to firm it up for more efficient climbing, although the rear shock lacks this feature, so it’s active and supple all the time. The Titan X pumps out 130mm of suspension travel at both ends, with highly-adjustable air-springs and rebound damping to suit rider weight. But mountain bikes are more than the sum of their parts, so can this new entrant be the new one-grand grand master?Ĭarrera Titan X frame and suspension details On paper then, the Titan X looks like astonishing value. ![]() The full-suspension bike to beat for under a grand has long been the Calibre Bossnut, but it now costs £1,100 (with Go Outdoors discount card) and lacks a dropper post. Since release, it's dropped the price to £850 and, according to Halfords, should remain at that price for the foreseeable future. When Halfords told us it was developing a full-suspension mountain bike with 12-speed gearing and a dropper post for under a grand, we were intrigued.
