The HPC Titan emerges as a formidable contender in the e-bike world, offering punchy value at $4,995. While slightly less than the pricier Juggernaut FS XD Fat at $5,499, it holds its own with beastly fats, featuring 26Ă—4″ tires, compared to the Juggernaut’s 26Ă—4.5″. The Titan, with its lighter frame, is primed for tackling snow and sand, weighing in at just 53 pounds.
This makes it a breeze to handle, especially against the Juggernaut’s 75-pound heft, where the Titan balances agility with brute stability when attacking descents. Its lightweight armor is built for those who crave adventure without the burden of excessive bulk, delivering the perfect ride for thrill-seekers. Priced for riders looking to push limits without breaking the bank, the Titan is the go-to for high-octane adventures.
Weight/Frame
The HPC Titan, with its sleek and 53-pound frame, stands as a testament to expert craftsmanship. Unlike the standard e-bike, the Titan embodies the strength of 6061-T6 aluminum with custom hydro-formed tubing, creating a featherweight yet sturdy class of its own. This powerhouse on the trail balances strength and agility while avoiding the bulk of bulkier rides that often burden e-bike riders.
Without having to wrestle with the typical heft, its lighter build minimizes drag during uphill climbs and enhances both speed and power. Whether darting through urban landscapes or taking on off-road escapades, the Titan offers a ride that feels both lively and grounded.
Battery
When it comes to the HPC Titan, riders are presented with an impressive choice of battery options. The powerful 1680Wh battery extends your journey far beyond the ordinary, stretching up to 80 miles or 129 km with throttle, and even surpassing 160 miles or 257 km in eco mode under optimal conditions.
During tests, a standard 596Wh battery managed a 20-mile ride across various terrains, showcasing the Titan’s ability to impressively endure. Whether you’re tackling rough paths or smooth roads, the Titan’s stamina ensures it’s always ready to keep going, offering both range and reliable power.
Motor
When you think of e-bikes built to dominate rugged terrains, the HPC Titan stands out with its mid-drive motor offering unparalleled torque and supremacy. The range of power options, from a potent 750W engine to a thunderous 2000W beast, makes the Titan a true conqueror of hills, even when pulling a trailer.
Tackling steep slopes becomes an impressive feat with this motor, and the reported ability to rocket from 0 to 20 mph in a mere 5.44 seconds speaks volumes. In our tests, the gears turning under full throttle produced a blistering surge of acceleration, leaving riders buzzing with excitement and a rush of adrenaline. The Titan’s power makes every ascent feel like a test of its mechanical prowess, delivering sheer thrill as you push it to its limits.
ℹ️ Be cautious with your assistance use on hazardous technical sections – the bike’s heavyweight, combined with its immense power, could lead to a nasty accident if you aren’t careful or don’t have the strength to cope with it.
Display and Controls
When it comes to the HPC Titan, the display and controls offer an intuitive experience that allows any rider to analyze their performance and riding style effortlessly. The intelligent color LCD not only showcases real-time insights into speed, power mode, and battery life, but also provides access to crucial metrics through an integrated USB port to keep your devices constantly juiced up.
The handlebar-mounted pod ensures quick access to menus, adjusting pedal assist levels or engaging the walk function for an extra boost on steeper inclines. This streamlined setup places control right at your fingertips, making your rides more adaptable to any challenge, while delivering an unparalleled connection to your adventures.
Suspension
The HPC Titan brings an impressive balance of grit and grace with its robust suspension system, designed to take on aggressive terrains and deliver a superior ride. The front air suspension with 120mm travel adds extra cushioning, making even the hardest landings on rock-laden trails feel smooth. As I experienced firsthand, the Titan tackled rough paths with ease, maintaining its composure under pressure, even when carrying hefty loads like additional gear and batteries.
On extreme technical trails, the suspension handles with precision, ensuring that no terrain is too challenging. However, a stiffer ride might slightly reduce comfort over smaller bumps and hard impacts, but this doesn’t detract from the stellar performance the Titan offers on demanding rides. Whether you’re soaring over sand mounds or handling steep, sport-level trails, this suspension system performs like a true champion, giving you confidence with every bounce.
Wheels / Tires
The HPC Titan takes its riders on a journey across diverse landscapes with tires designed for versatile adventures. Whether you’re cruising over snowy expanses or tackling muddier trails, the natural suspension system provides a smooth ride, creating an almost weightless feel as you move. The ability to make pressure adjustments enhances traction, giving you an edge in challenging conditions like sand or rough terrain. As you explore, the iconic float sensation of the tires underfoot transforms every path into your personal playground, making each ride a seamless part of the overall Titan experience.
Brakes
Barrelling down a steep path at 8 miles per hour, the HPC Titan keeps control with its Magura MT4e hydraulic disc brakes. With every lever squeeze, these brakes excel in providing precise and reliable stopping power, perfect for avoiding those white-knuckle moments and delivering controlled descents. The handling ensures a smooth stop, merging both grace and reliability into the ride. When fear meets exhilaration, the Titan’s braking system pushes the limits, proving it can handle anything thrown at it.
Drivetrain
The HPC Titan truly brings out the thrill of every adventure with its drivetrain that delivers titan-level capability through the SRAM Eagle GX system. Its 12-speed transmission offers a wide 11-42T gear range, ensuring that the bike effortlessly syncs with the demands of the trail, whether tackling steep climbs, accelerating through sprints, or gliding over open flats. The Titan adapts with unmatched ease, making seamless shifts under your command. Every ride is smoother thanks to precise gear changes that maintain full control over the power delivered to any terrain. This drivetrain is engineered for riders who crave the versatility and efficiency needed for true adventure, ensuring that no ride ever skips a beat.
Any Conditions, Any Terrain. The Titan Pro Will Take You There
With its silent but powerful motor, you can confidently climb steep hills or hit the straightaways at 36 mph with the 2000W version. Equipped with pro-level parts and a wide range transmission, this bike adapts to suit your needs, maintaining a top speed of 11 mph when handling tough terrain or providing exceptional torque for hill climbing. The Maxxis Minion tires offer supreme grip across all conditions, making it the perfect companion for riders who want to feel prepared for any terrain they might encounter.
