Why solid 64 titanium
Hollow shafts flex. We keep it solid for max bending strength — up to ~1.5× hollow chromoly, ~1.5× stock. Same solid section is ~40% lighter than chromoly; not lighter than hollow chromoly, but far stiffer. CNC precision. Won’t rust. Still looks new years later.
(Figures: in-house checks vs JIS material data. Same alloy family as aircraft / F1.)
What you feel
The axle is the only link from front wheel to chassis. Less flex = more consistent front feel under braking and mid-corner. Looks stock. Works harder.
Price

Typical titanium axles elsewhere: ~¥80,000 (≈$488). Ours is about 1/4 that — fair parts for a discontinued classic like the DAEG.
Color is electrodeposited (not paint); slight lot-to-lot tone difference is normal.
