First Look: Titan Racing Valerian Carbon Pro

[DieselnDust]

Back to the Valerian, any plans for a more all road version of this bike with clearance for 56mm tyres?

Sick bike! And at a great price point. I mean, that 105 Di2 groupset alone retails for 30k. Looking forward to putting my daughter on one of these later this year for the upcoming 2025 road and triathlon season. Thanks Titan Racing.

Nothing planned just yet, we have a couple of other new bikes to get out of the door first. Stay tuned.

YES!!! A steel hard tail is coming.

I'm running 32mm tries on mine with no clearance issues.

Is that a typo - max tyre clearance 28mm?

Officially yes, but we've had success with 30mm's as well. It's difficult to put down a number as tires unfortunately vary in width from manufacturer to manufacturer. 

We've asked around and it seems that quite a few riders are on 30s and 32s without any issues.

Looked at one today, and there's a lot of space between those stays and the back of the BB!

I will be giving 30s a try at some point in the name of research

[Bike Dewing]

I think congratulations are in order.. this frame/bike looks fantastic to me.. Probably great bang for buck in this.!

Update on the tyre clearance: I've fitted a set of Vittoria RideArmor 30c tubeless tyres for training, and there is plenty of room!

goodness indeed, space for 32C tyres there!

 

 a new rear triangle, wider fork and a degree slacker off the head angle can turn this bike into a bullet of a gravel race machine.

space for 60mm tyre please @Titan Racing Bikes

Is the clearance at the bottom at the chainstay as wide as at the top? Asking because my current bike also looks fine with 25s at the top, but rubs on the chainstay. 

Must say, this Titan looks like a very attractive option

Please excuse the filthy bike, photo doesn't do it justice but there's decent clearance. 32c would be an option 

[JacquesJ]

Awesome, thx

Maybe not so much if the wheel isn't stiff. "Might" be an option is a good choice of words. @Titan Racing Bikes certainly has room to make the chainstay BB junction wider
