Description:The Super-Moto is Titus' answer to World Cup and World Championship level downhilling and now it has a full year of winning performance under it’s belt to prove it. Rear travel adjusts from 8" to 9", and features a 3-position rate adjustment to allow various rear shock selections. The 12mm rear through-axle dropouts with a replaceable stainless steel derailleur hanger provide ultimate stiffness with crash-ready replaceablility. Four oversized sealed bearings pivot the swingarm as you control gravity's impulses to bring you down.

Bottom Line:
I really cant get enough riding it even everyday with a couple of runs each time. The bike really grows on you and it want you to push it harder every time you take it out. Been crashing abit too but there was no signs of dent nor crack so far. Really was skeptical when i first bought it but now i really would trade it for any other bike. Wish i could get a new model from Titus but they dont make it anymore. Really a shame, because its a great bike, and of you are thinking about getting one, dont waste your time already, just get it and it will make you a better rider and also take you to new heights

The supermoto DH Jumps well, holds lines well, and is a very active suspension design.
You will be glad you picked one up.

Strengths:
Very well made frame with clean welds, and made in the USA.I weigh 200 lbs and the bike seems stiff for a four bar bike. The whole bike tips the scales at just over 41 lbs!!! Very responsive in turns and when bombing through rock gardens.
Weaknesses:
There haven't been any yet. I could of used a MD frame but got the SM because it was a screaming deal.

Bottom Line:
This is a nice bike and handles very well. I am still getting used to how twitchy it is compared to my last bike that was a large. If I move forward like 6 inches on this thing it is like moving a foot aboard the TURNER. I need less body english, but the bike is very fast!!! Any DH racer who doesn't believe the hype about pedaling thresholds should look at this bike, I could for probabley under like $200 dollars get it below 40lbs!!! This is a sick race frame!!!

Bottom Line:
Great bike. I know Adam from the previous post and he is right. The welds are perfect, the anodized finish is beautiful and the bike hauls ass. I'm not a pro rider by any stretch, but this bike feels better than anything I've ridden. It is stable at speed, in the rough or in the steeps. I tried an M-3 this weekend and while the M-3 pedals great and might be better for a racer, I prefer my Super-Moto. My bike is currently 41.5 pounds and when I add the World Cup I should be close to 40 pounds with a bike that has a ton of travel but can take a beating. Nice.

Purchased At:

Strengths:
Beautiful craftsmanship - the nicest welds I've ever seen. FSR rear end, but the dropout pivot is captured on both sides(stiffer). 12mm thru axle threads into the dropout and then is held in place by pinch bolts. Adjustable progression rate and travel. Pretty light - my total bike weight is 42.75lbs, and that could come down considerably with different tires. Anodized finish is sweet and durable.
Weaknesses:
None. The frame fits me perfectly and can take anything that I could ever do to it.

Bottom Line:
Ever wanted an Intense M1? This bike is the M1 after it went to college. Its just a smarter design. Tubular front triangle is stronger and lighter. The rear end is much stiffer due to a narrower link, four bearing main pivot, and the previously mentioned rear pivot that is supported on both sides. The whole bike is about a pound lighter than an M1, and it costs the same (and that's with an anodized finish. PC is less $) The construction is amazing. This bike kills it! I
