Titanium Brake Hardware Upgrades for Mountain Bikes
Upgrading your mountain bike’s brake hardware might seem small — but it can make a big difference. At RideARK, we specialise in precision-engineered titanium bolts and components designed to boost performance, reduce weight, and add long-lasting reliability to your braking system.
Why Upgrade to Titanium Brake Hardware?
Standard steel hardware often rusts, rounds off, or seizes over time — especially in wet UK riding conditions. Titanium is stronger, lighter, and totally corrosion-proof. It’s ideal for demanding MTB, enduro, and e-bike riders who need components that last and perform.
- Lighter than steel – reduces unsprung and rotating weight
- Corrosion-proof – no more rusted bolts or seized pins
- High strength – holds torque under heavy braking
- Customisable – available in anodised colour finishes

Titanium Cup-and-Cone Washers
Brake rub and misalignment are often caused by uneven caliper mounting. Our titanium cup-and-cone washers ensure even pressure, cleaner alignment, and smoother braking. A small but serious upgrade for post-mount systems.

Why Choose Anodised Titanium?
RideARK titanium hardware is available in anodised colours like oil slick, gold, purple, blue, and more. But it’s not just for looks. Anodising hardens the surface of the titanium, improves wear resistance, and protects threads over time — all while adding a clean, custom aesthetic to your build.
Real-World Trail Benefits
- Improved braking consistency and feel
- Reduced maintenance – no seized bolts or rust
- Cleaner installs with perfect alignment
- Weight savings that improve handling and suspension feel
Installation Tips
To install titanium hardware correctly:
- Apply anti-seize paste to threads
- Use a torque wrench and follow spec guidelines
- Clean all contact surfaces before installation
- Replace full bolt sets for maximum impact
Frequently Asked Questions
Are titanium bolts safe for mountain bikes?
Yes — our titanium hardware is engineered to match or exceed steel bolt performance while being lighter and rust-proof.
Is anodising just for looks?
No — it adds surface hardness, improves durability, and protects the bolts while adding colour.
Can I use RideARK titanium bolts on my e-MTB?
Absolutely. Our titanium components are strong enough to handle the extra load and torque of electric bikes.
