Constructing the perfect big and tall bicycle is far more intricate than most people know. Simply enlarging an ordinary frame isn’t enough. It can lead to several problems. For example, the expanded tubes become less rigid, which causes high-speed frame shimmy – no cyclist wants that! Attempting to compensate for this issue with thicker and heavier frame tubes adds additional weight without solving the problem. It’s essential to keep these details in mind when building an XL bike for a worry-free ride.
Additionally, a short steering tube will force the handlebars too low for taller riders creating intense discomfort in the back, neck, wrists, and arms. Finally, constructing a bike with average cranks while catering its design to tall people would give the rider a feel identical to riding children’s bicycles.
Lennard Zinn’s exceptional frame design concepts are integrated into Clydesdale Bikes, ensuring the most reliable and rigid structure while keeping it lightweight. It’s a fact you won’t experience shimmying at high speeds when riding a Lennard-designed bike. With tailored parts such as cranks and handlebars for each rider, you can be sure that fit, performance, comfortability, and durability will surpass other big and tall bicycles manufactured by different companies in every aspect – we guarantee it!

Materials
WHY TITANIUM
Are you wondering why the team at Clydesdale Bikes always recommends titanium for the bike’s frame? It’s because it has so many benefits over utilizing more traditional materials like aluminum, steel, or carbon fiber. Did you know that in addition to being half the weight of steel, titanium also has a ton of fatigue resistance and strength that allows us to avoid building XL electric bikes with oversized tubing? Even with smaller tubing, you can still expect an extremely compliant ride with minimal interference from rough surfaces, small bumps, and road buzz from a titanium bike frame.
Along with your comfort during any type of ride, titanium also ensures the longevity of your bike. Whether you have a gravel ride or an e-bike, titanium is a material that guarantees your bike stays corrosion-free. Without having to worry about rust eating away at your frame, you have the flexibility to paint your bike or leave it bare. Even better, no corrosion within the tubes also provides a better option for internal cable routing.
Choose titanium and discover a material that flexes more without damage, never suffers from notch or crash damage that may lead to catastrophic failure, and won’t degrade when exposed to UV rays. With titanium construction, an XL fat tire bike from the Clydesdale team could last you for the rest of your life – if not longer!
Titanium for Extra Strength
Pretty much every custom bike we make is designed with a titanium frame. Even the best EMTB can use the benefits of this material. Half the weight of steel with enough fatigue resistance and more than enough strength, titanium frames allow you to enjoy a sleek ride with amazing compliance and minimal road buzz. We can make our tubing as large as we want without adding too much weight to your ride!
Titanium also has the ability to flex much further than either aluminum or steel without experiencing permanent damage. It even outdoes carbon fiber, which is vulnerable to notch damage and crashing, as well as an epoxy matrix that will degrade after years of UV light exposure. Our titanium bike frames can literally last you for the rest of your life!
We also prefer titanium for our XL electric bikes for tall riders because this material never corrodes. We can paint it in custom colors or plate it to minimize scratches. Our team also routes the cabling internally, so that it’s protected by the titanium casing from rust and corrosion.
