Bike Check: Jordie Lunn's Titanium Cachet Henry III - Crankworx Roturua 2018
Jordie Lunn is probably the only rider hitting the Pump Track Challenge, Dual Speed and Style, as well as the Slopestyle at CWX Rotorua on a titanium hardtail. The frame is from Canadian brand, Cachet Bikes and is named the Henry III. Cachet and Jordie are working on an alloy version which will be his signature model.
Jordie runs a downhill capable SRAM Code brake with a 160mm rotor.
No gyro here, just a meter or so of extra hydraulic hose.
Lunn uses an 80mm rise Deity bar, he says the added height makes the bike fit him better and is more comfortable.
I assume the stem and spacer set up is so he can still check sponsors during flips?
Jordie uses Vee Tire's XCV on the for the 26" rear wheel. Halo's heavy-duty Chaos wheelset is the weapon of choice for his rims.
A Sensus S4P kevlar saddle is combined with an SDG I-Beam seat post.
Deity complete the crankset with their 3-piece cranks, chainring and T-Mac pedals

He's in the list with all the other sponsored athletes?
My mate still has his, but back then he spent £999 frame only!! I also dont think many sold then either.
they're the ultimate dream frame, but no one can really justify the price when you consider the small advantage
is cheap by today's standards
1500€ frame only, french engineering, asian made. 455mm cst tho, so much fun!
..also, shoutout to that boi that put it down for OUR entertainment, Mr. big badass Paul Basagotia. Follow him on instagram, his life is lit up stoked! Hacked E-bikes are the future, boys and girls. Man was close to landing the biggest natural step-down jump ('15 Rampage) ever attempted on two wheels (20ft out, 45ft+ down) Guys a damm legend. Peace
1- rust free...... this applies to every bike as a plus point
2- its light for a given strength.... but well designed aluminium bikes can match this and beat it a given price point
3- fatigue resistance - this is an issue on super lightweight xc bikes on a DJ bike its not important for the following reason
4- ride feel - you buy a ti bike specifically for 1 reason..... its a hardtail with a lovely springy zingy feel..... the very last thing you want in a DJ bike. DJ bikes are built super stiff for immediate response and power. if your bike is built super stiff then why on earh do you have it made out of Titanium...... i'l tell you why..........
........coz its freaking cool. and for no other reason than its "freaking cool" would i love to have a Ti. dirtjump bike.
I think that is just the perspective making it look bigger. The Pike DJ is a 26" only fork
