TILT,
A MAJOR
INNOVATION
IN THE FIELD
OF MOBILITY
A bike is like an amplifier… an amplifier of human
strength; using the same amount of energy as when
walking, a cyclist travels 4 times fur ther and 4 times
faster. So what
could be more
efficient
and
economical
HUMAN STRENGTH than a bike
you can take ever ywhere, including on public
transpor t that never seems to arrive exactly where
you want it to.
A BIKE IS LIKE
AN AMPLIFIER OF
With the increasing development of inter-modal
transpor t, a folding bike is the perfect solution…
but not just any folding bike! Obser ving and listening
to user s around the wor ld uncover s a number of
issues: Quick folding/unfolding, easy transpor tation,
seamless switch from one form of transpor t to
another, keeping clean… all of these elements are
impor tant in the eyes of consumer s.
This is exactly how the crazy idea of transforming
a cyclist into a pedestrian in one second took root
in the collective mind of the B’TWIN design team...
All the brand’s knowledge and passion was poured
into creating this revolutionar y bike and making
getting around faster and more fun. TILT, the
bike that folds and unfolds in one second,
was born…
TILT,
PURE B’TWIN
The Tilt is a proud flag bearer for
B’TWIN, the Oxylane networ k’s cycling
brand, which aims to make cycling
more accessible through
high
quality, innovative products , for
all uses and levels. The brand aims to
actively par ticipate in the sustainable
development of cycling, par ticular ly
in urban areas.
At B’TWIN, innovation is at the hear t
of design. At the B’TWIN village , a site
dedicated entirely to cycling and the
br and HQ, ever ything is put in place
to br ing our designer s into per manent
contact with cyclists. Ideas for new
products come from obser ving,
listening to and talking to user s of all
kinds.
The 150 br and employees - engineer s,
designer s and product manager s - can
dream up, modelise and prototype the
products of the future on site .
Products are then subjected to
str ingent lab tests before being
tr ialled in real-life conditions and
industr ialised.
And the name of the brand is no
coincidence. The original B’TWIN (pr.
‘between’) bike came out in 2000 and
was a real revolution in the cycling
mar ket. Half way ‘between’ a touring
bike and an MTB, it challenged the
established codes and promised the
ver satility of town and countr y riding, on
the same bike, with a frame adapted to
both men and women .
There’s nothing the B’TWIN team
enjoys more than getting off the
beaten track and providing new
solutions that make cycling even more
enjoyable .
b’twin products are on sale in Decathlon stores,

TILT
THE 1 SEC BIKE
SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL…
The Tilt is a break from convention with daring
design, which strikes a balance between technical
prowess and customer demands. Its tight lines and fun fr amewor k
are inspired by 1980s pinball machines.
B’TWIN wanted to reinvent the folding bike genre creating a resoundingly
moder n, good-looking bike that would make its rider s even more mobile .
The B’TWIN Tilt is a truly versatile urban bike that rides as smoothly
as its “lar ger” counterpar ts, and yet “shrinks” in less time than it takes to
explain how.
The Tilt r ange has a unique , ultra-fast folding system based on fr ame and
stem hinges known as “Pop Up” (patented). And that’s not the only
innovation! The TILT also has incredibly simple adjustment systems such as
the “EasyClamp” (patented), “Light’In” lights built in to the fr ame , and
“Cleanr ide” dir t-free transmission thanks to the exclusive fr ame shape
and a dr ive belt on the Tilt 7 and 9. Finally, with “Fold ‘N’ Roll” geometr y,
you only need to car r y it when absolutely necessar y, as, when folded, you
can roll it around like a suitcase .
THE TILT
INNOVATIONS
THE TILT INTRODUCES SEVERAL INNOVATIVE
AND REVOLUTIONARY COMPONENTS…
A REVOLUTIONARY FOLDING SYSTEM
The Pop-Up system, with patented semi-automatic hinges, enables you to
AN EXCLUSIVE FOLDING SYSTEM SO YOU
CAN ROLL IT LIKE A SUITCASE
The folding system is designed to be able to roll the Tilt easily when folded.
You only need to car r y it therefore when absolutely necessar y such as when
going up stair s. The geometr y is specifically calculated to ensure that the 2
wheels are perfectly par allel when the bike is folded providing excellent
stability. In folded position, the fr ame hinge automatically locks to prevent it
from unfolding unexpectedly.
fold/unfold your Tilt in the space of a second! A trigger under neath the saddle
basically unlocks the fr ame hinge . Only a few seconds are required to fold it
The Tilt 7 has a 2-way automatic hub. This SRAM system, exclusive to
completely. The stem folds down in one movement and blocks itself automa-
backwards in folded position without the cr ank ar ms tur ning and blocking
against the front wheel.
tically. Never miss your train again!
ADJUSTING YOUR SADDLE HAS NEVER BEEN
SO EASY
BTWIN, enables you to change gear whilst stationar y and roll the bike
SHOCK ABSORPTION FOR INCREASED COMFORT
On folding bikes, your saddle height changes ever y time you fold and unfold
For a more comfor table ride , the Tilt frame has been designed to filter and absorb
your bike . Easyclamp is a patented adjustment system that enables you to set
your seat post to the correct position in one movement, as the name
suggests, easily. The laser markings on the front of the seat post enable you
to get the right height in the blink of an eye.
Of cour se , there is a blocking system in place to prevent people stealing your
saddle and the rear light can be screwed on to the clamp.
par t of the vibrations coming from the back wheel.
The specific design of the chain stays and seat stays enables the frame to bend
naturally on the ver tical axis absorbing par t of the vibrations generated. This tube
shape , entitled Virtual Damper, bends 22.5% more than a standard round tube.
ARRIVE AT THE OFFICE AS CLEAN
AS WHEN YOU LEFT HOME
The transmission, and par ticular ly the chain, is the dir tiest par t of a bike and
also requires regular maintenance . On the Tilt, the transmission r uns on the
inside of the fr ame to limit its contact with your clothes.
On the Tilt 7 and 9, an oil-free carbon drive belt replaces the chain. It’s
cleaner than a standard chain, not to mention lighter and longer lasting.
Underground user s will be most grateful!
BUILT-IN LIGHTS
In towns, the theft of bike par ts such as clip-on lights is a real blight. That’s
why the Tilt was designed with a headlamp screwed in to the fr ame . Tur n it
on by pressing the switch - easy. The rear-light is also screwed in to the
Easyclamp seat clamp. The LEDs last a ver y long time .
The Tilt 9 also has a Shimano hub-integrated dynamo that provides the
energy for the front and rear lights.
The clever “Steady light” system uses a condenser to keep the rear light on
for 4 minutes when stationar y so you’ll always remain visible at night,
including at traffic lights.

HANDY HINTS
BUILT IN BIKE STAND
The exclusive and patented design of the Tilt frame enables the bike to remain
upright when folded without a traditional stand mechanism; a built-in bike stand if
you prefer. You can also sit on your folded bike to take an ur gent call if necessar y.
This exclusive design also protects you from the transmission so you won’t get
dir ty as you r ide .
WHY CARRY WHEN YOU CAN ROLL WITH IT…
The Tilt is designed to be rolled when folded; the saddle doubles as a handle to
guide it with. This means you don’t have to carr y it when you can’t unfold it… in
public tr anspor t for example . Incidentally, the saddle fits nicely in the hand and is
reinforced down the sides to resist abrasion.
If you find your self in a situation where you have no choice but to car r y it, the
frame shape will always mean it’s perfectly balanced and ergonomic .
