South Africa is facing an unprecedented challenge due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving millions without an income. For a nation with such significant unemployment, this has resulted in impoverished communities feeling the brunt of this pandemic. Businesses throughout South Africa are joining forces to combat the COVID-19 epidemic and its devastating results. The outpouring of solidarity and support sparked by this shared challenge has been phenomenal. Titan Racing is one such company that has joined the mission. Through their fundraiser, Titan Racing hopes to raise R500 000.00 / €25 000.00 to help those in need.

Titan Racing has established its form of doing things, so fundraising would be no different. They have created a one-off limited edition of their new dual sus, the Cypher, inspired by the Titan God Zeus, playing on the brand’s name and the most powerful of the Greek gods. To pull off such a feat, Titan Racing has partnered with the international business tycoon, Belron, and their global charity partner, Afrika Tikkun. Belron, already being invested in the sports industry, has raised some €11 million through employee participation in their annual sporting events since 2002. This vital funding has benefitted Afrika Tikkun’s charity programs throughout South Africa. Funds raised will be utilised in the procurement and distribution of food parcels, PPE, and education for those most in need during this challenging time.

The Bike

In the first year since inception, the Cypher has gained immediate traction within the market, selling out all stock. Placed as the SMART Choice, the Cypher offers exceptional value with modern design, geometry, and component spec, making it an unrivalled competitor in the 100mm/120mm race/marathon bike category.

The Titan Racing Team has designed and created the Zeus limited edition as a genuinely one-off piece of art valued at RRP: R80 000.00 / €4000.00. The lucky winner will receive the Cypher sent to them at no additional charge anywhere in the world.

The Cypher is a fully-fledged racing bike with enough flair to tear up the descents and power through the climbs. Racing snakes and weekend warriors will feel equally at home with its pedal efficient platform and progressive geometry.

The Cypher features a flip-chip enabling the rider to customise the geometry for the trail conditions at hand. In the low position, the head angle is reduced by half a degree, and the BB drops by 6mm. This allows riders to take full advantage of the bike and hit the descents and technical sections with elevated velocity.

Designed explicitly around 1x drivetrains, a gently progressive leverage ratio is balanced between the ability to resist harsh bottom outs while still allowing the full use of travel. Progressive means that more force needs to be applied the further into the travel the rear axle moves to compress the shock – this makes for a supportive ride feel that is stable and composed. The leverage rate has been optimised so that it is not overly progressive, allowing for full use of travel. Anti-squat figures have been calculated to function optimally around 85-115% on 32T – 34T chainrings, those being the most popular size for 12-speed drive systems.

Keeping up with industry trends and innovations, the Cypher uses BSA threaded BB cups as opposed to press-fit for ease of maintenance. Additionally, the frame has internal cable routing solutions for a stealth dropper post, all gear shift cables, rear brake, and a remote lockout cable for the rear shock. The rear-axle standard is Boost 148, which allows us to maximise tire clearance without compromising on the rear center length. The Cypher can carry two water bottles inside the front triangle where they can be easily accessed while riding, a must for racing. A low standover height is perfect for those technical sections and showing your buddies your best whip.
