The State Titanium All-Road is an admirable but flawed attempt to build a titanium gravel bike for the masses

State Bicycle Co Titanium All-Road bike.

Titanium has long been revered in the cycling world for its exceptional ride quality —smooth yet lively, and almost magical in its ability to blend comfort with performance. It’s a material synonymous with prestige. However, this legendary reputation often comes with a price tag to match.

State Bicycles is the latest in a slew of brands trying to change that perspective by making titanium bikes accessible to the masses with the release of its Titanium All-Road. At a starting price point of $2,499.99 for a complete bike and $1,299.99 for the frameset, the Ti steed was designed as an accessible gravel bike that can grow with you, with modern tyre clearance, UDH dropouts, an expensive and durable finish, and a rock solid titanium frame construction that won't corrode even after many years of bike ownership.
