Charge will release a 29er called the 2012 Ti Cooker. As the Charge has avoided the carbon bike trend, the 29er is expected from a company known for making bikes that are almost exclusively in steel.

While Charge builds bikes mostly with steel materials, there is an exception that is the titanium. Aside for being light, titanium is more responsive and rust free. Included in the top quality components of this 29er is a nice sized downtube gusset and an added headset.

Ti bikes are available only as frame at the moment and the Cooker is presumed to use a 27.2 seatpost along with the standard cabling. Equipped with the Griddle, a new lock on grip, the 2012 Charge Ti Cooker will also feature a standard threaded bottom bracket.
