How Much Weight Can Titanium Bolts Really Save?

Titanium bolts are often sold as an easy marginal gains upgrade, lighter, stronger, and more premium. But how much weight do they actually save on a real race ready bike? In this video, I swap a full titanium bolt kit onto my Time Alpe d’Huez road bike, weighing every bolt as we go to see where the real savings are… and whether the final result matches expectations. We’ll look at titanium vs aluminium vs steel hardware, durability benefits, and whether this upgrade makes sense for performance or is mostly bling.
