The TUrban (Titanium Urban) completely redefines the concept of an everyday and commuter bike. It is the perfect solution for frequent urban cyclists who refuse to compromise on their daily journey to the office or when zipping through the city. The bike combines the elegant aesthetics and durability of a high-end titanium frame with the agility and control of a modern flat-bar setup – our take on titanium for everyone!
The TUrban is our only titanium frame optimised for flat-bar geometry and designed to allow direct fitting of a side stand.
At its heart lies a robust frame made from cold-drawn 3Al/2.5V titanium, specifically designed to meet the tough demands of continuous urban use. The geometry has been specifically optimised for flat-bar riding. A longer top tube, combined with a crisp stem, ensures extremely direct, agile handling, allowing you to manoeuvre precisely through dense city traffic.
At the same time, the upright, sporty riding position guarantees maximum visibility in traffic and is gentle on the neck and wrists. Thanks to titanium’s excellent inherent damping properties, even rough cobblestones or poor-quality tarmac are no longer a cause for concern – the frame noticeably absorbs high-frequency vibrations and offers riding comfort on a par with a road bike.
Technically, the TUrban is designed for complete peace of mind and minimal maintenance. The frame is specifically engineered for modern drivetrains – whether as a minimalist single-chainring setup or with low-maintenance hub gears. The integration of everyday features has been aesthetically perfected. The frame features discreetly concealed mounting points for mudguards and an elegantly designed rear rack.
The generous tyre clearance offers ample space for wide urban and all-road tyres up to 50 mm wide – depending on the mudguards. This ensures additional comfort, excellent grip in wet conditions and perfect puncture protection on tram tracks or kerbs. This pioneering commuter concept is rounded off by hydraulic flat-mount disc brakes, which guarantee maximum deceleration in all weather conditions, as well as the stiff 12x142 mm thru-axle standard for maximum directional stability when sprinting from traffic lights.
Like all new titanium frames from VPACE, the TRLX now also features a UDH derailleur hanger.

VPACE Kids Bikes are sporty bicycles and components designed specifically for children, setting new standards in quality, performance and design:
On the one hand, you can really put our bikes through their paces at our Test Centre partners and experience the VPACE ‘aha’ moment; and on the other hand, you can visit our showroom in Horgenzell, where you can view all our kids’ bikes and even take them for a test ride.
To determine height, have your child stand barefoot, upright with their back against a wall. Now place a book horizontally on their head and measure the distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the book.
To determine the inseam, have your child stand barefoot, upright with their back against a wall, clamp a book between their legs and pull it upwards into their crotch with the top edge horizontal. Now measure the distance from the floor to the top edge of the book. The length you’ve measured is your child’s inseam.
As well as height, inseam length also plays an important role in determining the right bike size/frame size. To ensure your child can ride safely, their inseam length should be at least equal to the standover height of the selected size.
