The Ti-Master Steering Expansion Plug Kit breaks through the technological barriers of conventional civilian titanium alloys. While providing exceptionally high safety margins, it compresses the total assembly weight to a revolutionary, absolute limit. It is the ultimate choice for hardcore riders pursuing marginal gains and absolute cockpit rigidity.
Ti-Master Steering Kit for Y1Rs
Core Technical Highlights
1. 1200MPa Aerospace-Grade Special Titanium Alloy
Refusing to compromise with standard TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V) titanium alloy, Ti-Master utilizes a proprietary formula titanium alloy subjected to an extremely rigorous, customized heat treatment process.
Tensile Strength: Reaches up to 1200 MPa, completely outclassing military-grade TC4.
Performance Advantage: Exceptional yield strength ensures absolute safety and stability under high-stress, high-tensile conditions, completely eliminating any headset play.
2. Destructive Mechanical Testing Based on Proven Technological Reserves
The successful development of this steering kit was not achieved overnight; it is backed by Ti-Master's deep technical expertise and reserves in engineering extreme load-bearing components. In destructive, controlled variable anti-torsion testing, this material and processing combination demonstrated unparalleled physical properties:
Military-Grade TC4 Benchmark: A thinner-walled, military-grade TC4 thru-axle successfully passed a 40 N·m torque test without any damage.
Identical Wall-Thickness Showdown: Benefiting from the perfect synergy of special materials, proprietary heat treatment, and micron-level precision machining, a Ti-Master thru-axle of the exact same wall thickness successfully completed a grueling 55 N·m extreme torque test with zero structural fracturing.
Mechanical Safety Upgrade: Leveraging this mature technological foundation, the production model optimizes critical load-bearing wall thicknesses. Engineering calculations indicate that the main structure can effortlessly withstand destructive torques exceeding 60 N·m.
3. Ultra-High Hardness Micron-Precision Tensile Threads
The two core thread sections represent the most heavily concentrated stress points of the entire assembly. Through ultimate CNC machining precision, Ti-Master achieves a superior, flawless thread profile engagement.
This completely eliminates stress concentration points, delivering overall thread strength and strip-resistance that stand far above any component made from standard civilian titanium alloys.
All core components, including the pre-load locking bolts, are fully manufactured from this specialized ultra-hard titanium alloy.
To cater to the varying bike configurations and upgrade demands of different riders, Ti-Master offers two high-end product lines:

Option B: Sixweel Series Performance Upgrade Edition
Frame Size Compatibility: Comprehensive coverage for S / M / L / XL sizes.
Assembly Weight: A highly competitive 35g - 38g.
Positioning: Balances wide size compatibility, versatile load-bearing performance, and an excellent lightweight upgrade experience.
Product Selection Parameters
Manufacturing & Packaging Specifications
Core Material: 1200 MPa-grade specially heat-treated titanium alloy.
Manufacturing Process: Ultra-high precision CNC subtractive manufacturing / Military-grade surface treatment.
Package Contents: Ultra-light titanium steering expander core body, special titanium pre-load locking bolt, and bottom bolt.
Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
Important Safety Notice This product is an ultra-high-performance component engineered for extreme lightweight optimization. Installation must strictly follow precision operating procedures; tightening blindly by hand or feel is strictly prohibited.
Size Verification: Prior to installation, double-check and verify that the component specification matches your frame/fork size perfectly.
Chemical Assistance: A carbon-specific friction paste must be applied to the contact interface between the inner fork wall and the expansion wedges to distribute the physical expansion force via chemical friction. Do not apply any thread-locking compound (Loctite).
Routine Maintenance: The installation, removal, and routine maintenance inspection procedures for this product are identical to those of the original factory components.
Ti-Master completely redefines cockpit steering components. Whether it is the Y1Rs Custom Edition (27g-29g) dedicated to the ultimate golden sizes, or the all-size-dominating Sixweel Series (35g-38g), both product lines fully inherit the hardcore technological lineage of the 55 N·m extreme torsion test. By executing absolute subtraction in weight while applying powerful addition in craftsmanship, materials, and safety, Ti-Master delivers rock-solid cockpit rigidity and handling confidence during full-gas sprints and out-of-the-saddle climbing efforts.
