After three years of design work, Sage Titanium Bicycles is accepting pre-orders for Project FAF, a US-made titanium full-suspension mountain bike that’s loaded with impressive details. Find all the details here…
Sage Titanium Bicycles, owned by David Rosen, is already having an exciting 2026. This year marked the first Sea Otter in 10 years without a booth, and he was cruising around the expo to showcase a prototype titanium full-suspension mountain bike, also a first for the Oregon-based bicycle brand. We already shared some early details in our 2026 Sea Otter coverage, and although David was planning to open pre-orders later this summer, things are moving along quicker than anticipated, and they’re open now.
The Sage Titanium Project FAF is an XC/downcountry bike built with premium US-sourced titanium tubing and 3D-printed titanium parts produced with an enhanced printing method that yields a stronger overall print. The frame and its parts are 100% US-made. It’s welded and assembled domestically, and the 3D-printed and CNC parts are made in Oregon.
Project FAF takes 3D printing to a whole new level to achieve the features, geometry, and clearance that David wanted. The upper shock mount, chainstay yoke, dropouts, and rear brake mount are all 3D-printed. The suspension uses a single-pivot flex-stay design with uniquely shaped seat stays and chainstays as flex points.
Some details that have been adjusted since Sea Otter include 115mm of rear travel, 435mm chainstays, two curated complete build options (details TBD), and pre-order customers receive a free Cerakote logo finish upgrade. The current prototype is designed around a 120mm fork, 29 x 2.4″ tire clearance, a 66° head tube angle, and a T47 threaded bottom bracket, although final specs and geo might change slightly. It uses a UDH/SRAM T-Type rear dropout, and the build pictured weighs 28.6 pounds (12.9 kilograms).
Pre-orders require a $1,000 non-refundable deposit, and the estimated price of the frameset is an eye-watering $10,000–$15,000 USD, meaning it will be out of reach for most buyers. The first production run will be limited, and Sage is expecting to deliver the finished frames to customers during the first quarter of 2027. The finalized name is still unknown, but Sage will launch it alongside the build details at the MADE bike show in Portland later this summer.
