Lynskey R460 Force Titanium Road Bike

Season:2015

Brand:Lynskey

Code:R460-Force-Bike

The R460 is a thoroughbred race beast for the competitive cyclist. It’s one of the strongest road bikes available from Lynskey Performance, perfect for riders pushing huge wattage over long criteriums or road races. With the R450 frame, you’ll have a solid foundation to customize your next race bike.

Achieving the frame’s strength requires a unique manufacturing process. The R460 begins life as sheets of 6/4 aerospace titanium alloy - the best of the best. From here, the alloy sheets are rolled into tubing and seam welded together by Lynskey. These newly-formed tubes create the R460’s front triangle. This process ultimately gives the R460 its incredible stiffness for ultimate power transfer on the road.

For the R460 frame, we’ve incorporated a tapered, integrated head tube for confident handling and a clean design. Further down the bike, the over-sized Press Fit 30 bottom bracket offers silky smooth pedaling for the most powerful of riders, as well as durability for years to come. Additionally, Helix-shaped seatstays resist vertical flexing for fantastic sprinting and climbing. With the R460’s race performance and long-lasting durability, it’s the last RACE bike you’ll ever need to buy. Whether you can resist buying another one is up to you.

Bottom Line:
In the early 90's I became enamored with titanium as a frame material and while it took over 20 years in December 2013 I was finally able to indulge my long held passion to own this holy grail of bicycles. Being fortunate enough to own one of the first 2014 R450s in the wild (and likely the only one in Australia) I am astonished how much my passion and enjoyment for cycling has grown.
Having now put over 6000km on this bike I can honestly say that the ride quality and predictable handling of the level 4 makes it an absolute joy to ride, and due to my build I have zero issue with the more compact geometry typically associated with a criterium spec frame. The geometry, the inherent plasticity of titanium, and the skills of the guys at Lynskey at building these things has created a frame that has seen me ride some of the most challenging hills in the local regain without rendering my back and legs non-functional for the next several days.
The satisfaction I get riding this bike is such that I recently undertook a local charity ride covering some 450km and 6000m of climbing over a three day period. And while I was certainly tired at the end of the event, there were no unusual muscular aches and pains and the numb hands I used to experience so often due to the road-buzz from my last carbon frame was non-existent!
In short, while there are certainly "marginally" lighter frames on the market, nothing I have ever ridden offers the comfort, strength, and longevity of titanium. For those of you looking for something a little different that will bring a smile to your face every day I'd thoroughly recommend looking at a Lynskey. I doubt you'll be disappointed.
