Still Handmade.

The XLM: The XLM or Extra Light Mountain is the premier titanium hard tail racing bike. Its incredibly light weight frame is a snap to accelerate. The combination of double butted, oversized tubing and S-Bend chain stays deliver power to the rear wheel that is guaranteed to pull the hole shot, take you to the front of the pack or to the top of the mountain. The XLM is excellent for carving tight single track or off road adventure.

No detail was spared for the XLM. [+]
