Chilli Dog (Titanium) - Enduro - Frame Only
Chilli Dog (Titanium) - Enduro - Frame Only
FAST . BASTARD . DOG
Each frame is handmade to order with a lead time of 6-8 weeks
Introducing the Chilli Dog TITANIUM… the hardtail that’s hotter than your uncle’s questionable hot sauce collection and tougher than a $5 steak.
The Chilli Dog is forged from the finest Titanium, because steel is for dreamers and carbon is for people afraid of commitment. This bad boy is as indestructible as your love for sending it on sketchy lines and as sleek as your ego after nailing that impossible drop (after 15 tries, but who’s counting?).
This isn’t just a bike—it’s a statement. A statement that says, “I don’t need rear suspension, I need *more* speed and a bit of chaos.” Plus, it’s called the Chilli Dog for a reason—when you’re ripping down a mountain at breakneck speed, the only thing hotter than your burning quads will be the trail you leave behind.
So, if you’re ready to ride something that’s unapologetically brutal, built for masochists, and guaranteed to turn heads faster than you can turn your handlebars, hop on the Chilli Dog. Just don’t blame us if your friends start calling you a legend… or a lunatic.
Available in both 29inch (290) & 27.5inch (275) wheel specific, or custom geometry!
Its PROPER GOOD...
TI' IS FLY
The only dog to have ever been sent into space? Proabably...
Moons back, Titanium was the go to for its use within the Aerospace, and is now a boutique material used by only the highest standards of products. The Ti version is almost identical in design to its steel counterpart. However, in order to achieve the same ride quality, the way in which we use the tubing differs to that of the Steel frame due to the variation in density between the 2 materials. To achieve what we need to, we use high quality Grade 9 3AL-2.5v seamless and ovalised tubing over the frame.
But why choose Titanium over steel? Well, there's no denying our Steel Chilli Dog is hard to beat, and whilst the Chilli Dog's ride feel is exceptional, even for a steel bike, there are some minor 'improvements' a Titanium frame offers.
- Direct Feel: The Titanium frame see's a more direct and agile ride. This gives our Titanium frames a big ol' spring in their step compared to the steel counterparts
- Weight: the Titanium version is over half a kilo lighter than its steel counterpart
- Weather resistance: A huge plus to Titanium over the steel frame is the fact it is corrosion resistant. So, if you are lazy and just hate maintenance.... probably should be adding this one into your cart right now.
- Longevity: As above really... thanks to Titanium being a resilient material, the frame will last you a lifetime, even if you never clean it. Scratchs and scars? No bother... its eazy as a cheeky scotch pad rub down to keep it fresh.
- Radness: Its Titanium.... basically makes you the biggest baller on the trail.

Sizing
Struggling with what reach to choose? Why not check out our sizing chart...
The frames have short seat tubes with a very low standover, so sizing is very flexible and more centred around the length. We recommend the use of longer dropper posts and shorter stems (35-50mm) dependant on sizing.
This is our GUIDE and how we would recommend the sizing. This is certainly not a definitive recommendation, so riders should choose to how they prefer their bike!
Are you on the lower end of a scale? Not a problem; thanks to the short seat tubes and lower standover this is not a problem.
Sizing up, or on the shorter end of the scale? shorter dropper post/35mm stem
Sizing down, or on the larger end of the scale? Longer dropper post/ 50mm stem.
Seat post insertion depths
Short, straight seat tubes allow for most 200mm droppers to be fully inserted. See max seat post insertions;
Regular: 315mm
Long: 330mm
Uber Long: 345mm
