Butting titanium tubes: What is it, and why is it important?
At the core of any titanium frame is a balance between stiffness and comfort, and titanium's ability to offer both in great measure is one of its best attributes. One of the key ways that we tune that balance in our frames is by changing the wall thickness of key tubes along their length, or "butting": a technique that No. 22 has mastered to deliver performance and comfort in appropriate amounts across our lineup.
