Guess this is another option - I see from the other chiner list that
the Titan comes in a SL model - meaning superlight and weighs 1700 vs. most at 1950+
I don't actually see it available on their site and the post is saying it is available in a month or so.

What big name frame does the 036 closely imitate?
I thought the camber evo but rear shock area is distinctly differnent....the downtube is near identical though.

Last I checked, the Titan was not available in 12x142 thru axle, as I think the design is a few years old.

The IP-036 is very close to a SCOTT Spark.  I have ridden both and I can confirm they are very close to each other in ride performance.

So, the Titan has been expanded.
There is an:
XC version - Titan NL
XC light - Titan SL
DH - Titan DH - not sold in europe
Trail/Enduro - TitanX
dropouts are optional
I attached the catalog I received from them - not sure how good it will show.  Send them an email if interested
Otherwise, they have taken the Titan the farthest of any vendor and there is a frame for every discipline.
Edit:  the link works good

Beware the Titan from carbonality!!!  Horrible product, horrible service.   my friend bought one and it was a nightmare.  Compressed and jammed time and time again.  Company unresponsive and wouldn't take responsibility.  Finally the frame broke.....good riddance. 

Get the IP036.  It's got a great track record.  I've been thrilled with mine.

I've been very happy with my IP-036 I built last year.

The 036 is probably the way to go - I just personally like the DSK098(spec enduro) looking frame better.
I thought the Titan might be a player with all the choice but Andy, you give me pause there.
I am in no rush and looking forward to more offerings in the future.
