About Ti-Parts

Ti-Parts, marketed online as Ti-Parts Titanium, is a Singapore-based cycling component and titanium upgrade brand focused primarily on lightweight bicycle hardware, especially Grade 5 titanium bolts, screws, nuts and model-specific upgrade kits. The brand also operates as a retailer and distributor for a wider range of performance cycling components from other manufacturers. Its official online store is tipartstitanium.com.1

Note on naming: Ti-Parts should not be confused with Ti Parts Workshop, a separate brand particularly associated with Brompton upgrades. Singapore retailers list the two separately.2

History and background

Publicly available information about the early history of Ti-Parts is relatively limited. Unlike established bicycle manufacturers that publish extensive corporate histories, Ti-Parts appears to have developed primarily as an online specialist cycling retailer and component brand.

The identifiable Singapore corporate entity, TI PARTS (SG) PTE. LTD., was incorporated on 6 June 2023. Its registered address is 639 Rowell Road, #21-96, Singapore 200639.3

The brand’s current website presents Ti-Parts as more than simply a bolt manufacturer. Its catalogue combines its own Ti-Parts-branded titanium hardware with products from numerous specialist cycling brands, including Carbon-Ti, Elilee, EXS Cycling, GANNA, Lewis Brakes, Ti-Master, Sixweel, TRiPEAK, Vittoria and XCADEY.1 This positions Ti-Parts as a specialist performance cycling aftermarket business, with titanium hardware as its most recognizable product category.

Product philosophy

The central proposition of Ti-Parts is to replace conventional steel bicycle hardware with lighter, corrosion-resistant titanium components while adding a high-end aesthetic. The company’s materials emphasise four characteristics:

  1. Lower weight
  2. High strength
  3. Corrosion resistance
  4. Cosmetic finishes

Products commonly use Grade 5 titanium, an alloy containing titanium with aluminium and vanadium. Ti-Parts describes Grade 5 titanium as offering a combination of strength, low weight and corrosion resistance appropriate for bicycle hardware.1 The company claims that its titanium bolts can be roughly 30–50% lighter than conventional steel bolts, depending on the particular component and comparison. Individual product pages commonly describe them as approximately half the weight of standard steel hardware.1

The practical advantage becomes significant when many small bolts are replaced throughout a bicycle. Rather than replacing a major component such as the frame, wheels or groupset, a rider can gradually substitute small pieces of hardware to reduce overall mass.

Main product categories

Titanium bolts and screws

This category forms the core of the Ti-Parts catalogue. The company sells titanium fasteners in numerous metric sizes, head styles and lengths, including M3, M4, M5, M6, M8 and M10 applications. Products are offered for stems, bottle cages, brakes, seatposts, derailleurs, rotors, handlebars and other bicycle components.1

Many items are available in finishes such as:

  • Natural / Ti Silver
  • Metallic Gold
  • Rainbow / Oil Slick
  • Nitride Black

Ti-Parts uses PVD (physical vapor deposition) on many coloured products, positioning the coating as both a visual feature and a harder surface treatment.1

Model-specific titanium upgrade kits

A distinctive strategy of Ti-Parts is the sale of complete bolt-upgrade kits for particular bicycle models and groupsets. The catalogue includes kits for:

  • Specialized Tarmac
  • Specialized Crux
  • Trek models
  • Canyon models
  • Shimano groupsets
  • SRAM groupsets
  • Specialized/Roval cockpit components

A model-specific kit is intended to eliminate the guesswork involved in identifying individual bolt dimensions.1 Commercially, this transforms an inexpensive commodity-like component—a screw—into a specialised cycling upgrade.

Titanium nuts and small hardware

Ti-Parts also sells titanium nuts, washers and other small hardware. The catalogue includes M3–M10 nuts and different flange and hex configurations.1 These products are particularly relevant to riders pursuing a comprehensive lightweight build rather than a single cosmetic upgrade.

Brake and drivetrain-related hardware

The brand sells titanium hardware for areas such as brake calipers, disc rotors, brake adapters, derailleurs, cranksets, shifters and groupsets. The catalogue includes upgrade kits for Shimano Dura-Ace, Ultegra and 105, as well as various SRAM groupsets.1

Larger titanium components

Ti-Parts has expanded beyond simple fasteners. The current catalogue includes or has included products such as titanium thru-axles, computer mounts, bottle cages and 3D-printed titanium components, alongside conventional CNC and fastener products.1 This indicates a progression from being primarily a titanium bolt specialist toward becoming a broader lightweight-component supplier.

Technology and manufacturing

Grade 5 titanium

The most frequently advertised material is Grade 5 titanium, commonly known as Ti-6Al-4V. Its appeal for cycling hardware comes from the combination of high specific strength, relatively low density compared with steel, excellent corrosion resistance, good durability and premium appearance. Ti-Parts specifically markets these properties for bicycle applications.1

PVD finishing

Colourful Ti-Parts fasteners frequently use PVD finishing. This allows the brand to sell titanium hardware not merely as a weight-saving component but also as a visual customisation product. Gold, black and rainbow/oil-slick bolts can be matched with a bicycle’s frame, groupset or cockpit.

Forged heads and machining

Some product descriptions mention hot-stamped or forged bolt heads, polished surfaces and CNC-style precision manufacturing. The company’s stated objective is to provide high-strength hardware with clean machining and resistance to tool damage.1

Market positioning

Ti-Parts occupies a niche in the cycling aftermarket. It is not primarily a bicycle manufacturer like Specialized or Trek, nor is it a conventional component manufacturer such as Shimano or SRAM. Instead, it operates in the space between OEM bicycle hardware, lightweight aftermarket components and enthusiast customisation. This positioning allows a rider to buy a bicycle from one manufacturer and then gradually replace selected components with Ti-Parts products. The company’s website reinforces this strategy by offering complete “Titanium Upgrade Kits” for specific bikes and groupsets.1

Target customers

Ti-Parts targets several overlapping groups:

  • Weight-conscious cyclists: For riders interested in reducing bicycle weight, titanium bolts provide a way to remove small amounts of mass without replacing major components.
  • Performance enthusiasts: The catalogue is heavily oriented toward road, MTB and high-performance components, including Shimano and SRAM groupsets and specific high-end bicycle models.
  • Custom-build enthusiasts: Coloured titanium hardware—particularly gold, black and rainbow finishes—makes the products attractive to riders who value visual details.
  • Bicycle collectors and premium-bike owners: A significant part of the appeal is the ability to customise expensive bicycles with small premium details.
  • Riders in wet or humid environments: Titanium’s corrosion resistance is particularly relevant to cyclists exposed to rain, sweat and humidity. Ti-Parts explicitly promotes corrosion resistance as a major selling point.1

Representative products

Examples from the Ti-Parts catalogue include:

  • Grade 5 titanium M3–M10 nuts
  • Titanium bottle-cage bolts
  • Titanium disc-rotor bolts
  • Titanium seatpost-clamp bolts
  • Titanium stem bolts
  • Titanium derailleur bolts
  • Titanium brake hardware
  • Titanium Garmin/Wahoo computer-mount screws
  • Specialized-specific titanium upgrade kits
  • Shimano groupset titanium upgrade kits
  • SRAM groupset titanium upgrade kits
  • Titanium thru-axles
  • 3D-printed titanium components

The range demonstrates that Ti-Parts is increasingly attempting to cover the entire bicycle rather than just individual screws.1

Warranty

Ti-Parts advertises a Limited Lifetime Warranty on eligible products against manufacturing defects. Product documentation states that misuse, incorrect torque application and tool-induced damage are excluded.1 This is particularly relevant for titanium fasteners because correct installation torque matters; a titanium bolt should not simply be treated identically to every steel bolt on a bicycle.

Distribution and retail presence

Ti-Parts has a strong online-retail orientation. Its products are sold through its own website and Singapore marketplace channels. Its Singapore Shopee store, for example, lists hundreds of products and shows the Ti-Parts Titanium brand with thousands of followers and a high seller rating.

The company also appears on Carousell as a professional seller, where listings include titanium bolts, washers and motorcycle-related hardware.4 In addition, third-party cycling retailers in Singapore carry Ti-Parts products.5 The official website provides international shipping information, indicating that the company serves customers beyond Singapore.1

Business structure

There is a distinction between the brand and the legal company. The brand is presented to consumers as Ti-Parts / Ti-Parts Titanium, while the identifiable Singapore corporate entity is TI PARTS (SG) PTE. LTD. The company was incorporated in Singapore on 6 June 2023 and remains listed as a live company. Its registered business activities include warehousing and retail of sports equipment.3 The company’s contact-information page identifies the legal entity as TI PARTS (SG) PTE LTD.1

Relationship with other brands

Ti-Parts is not exclusively a single-brand catalogue. Its website has a dedicated “Shop by Brand” section containing a considerable number of partner brands, including specialist manufacturers of wheels, brakes, drivetrain components, titanium parts and cycling accessories.1 Consequently, Ti-Parts functions partly as a specialist distributor and retailer.

Not every product sold on the Ti-Parts website is manufactured by Ti-Parts itself. For example, products branded EXS Cycling, Elilee, Lewis Brakes, Carbon-Ti, XCADEY, Vittoria, Ti-Master and Sixweel are presented as separate brands on the site.1

Limitations and considerations

Ti-Parts should not be viewed as a universal replacement for every OEM fastener. Titanium is not automatically superior in every application. Bicycle manufacturers specify fasteners according to loads, interfaces, corrosion conditions and safety requirements. A titanium bolt should therefore only be used where the replacement is appropriate for that specific application.

This is particularly important around safety-critical components such as brakes, stems, handlebars, seatposts, suspension components and axle systems. Ti-Parts provides measurement guidance and product-specific information, and its warranty excludes problems caused by improper torque or misuse.1

There is also an economic consideration: titanium upgrades are expensive relative to the weight saved. For those seeking maximum performance per dollar, tyres, wheels, cockpit components or other major components can sometimes offer more meaningful performance benefits. Ti-Parts is therefore particularly appealing to enthusiasts who value incremental optimisation and craftsmanship rather than purely cost-effective weight reduction.

Distinction from Ti Parts Workshop

The names Ti-Parts and Ti Parts Workshop are frequently confused, but they represent distinct entities.

Ti-Parts / Ti-Parts Titanium Ti Parts Workshop
Main identity Titanium bicycle hardware & aftermarket components Bicycle upgrade component specialist
Strong association Titanium bolts, screws, upgrade kits Brompton
Singapore company TI PARTS (SG) PTE. LTD. Separate brand/business
Product scope Road, MTB and other cycling applications Particularly Brompton-specific components
Website/catalogue Ti-Parts Titanium Ti Parts Workshop
Relationship Not the same brand Not the same brand

Singapore retailers explicitly list Ti Parts Workshop products separately from Ti-Parts products.2

Assessment

Ti-Parts is best described as a Singapore-based specialist aftermarket cycling brand and retailer built around titanium hardware and lightweight bicycle upgrades. Its signature product is the Grade 5 titanium bicycle bolt, but the company has expanded into model-specific upgrade kits, nuts, washers, brake hardware, thru-axles, mounts and other lightweight components. Simultaneously, its online store has evolved into a broader specialist cycling marketplace carrying numerous partner brands.1

The company’s relatively recent corporate history—TI PARTS (SG) PTE. LTD. was incorporated in 2023—means it should not be portrayed as a decades-old titanium manufacturer. Rather, its significance lies in how it has built a specialised direct-to-consumer ecosystem around the growing premium and lightweight cycling aftermarket.3
