Silca History

SILCA was founded in 1917 by Felice Sacchi outside of Milan, Italy. SILCA was the first company to put gauges on pumps, the first to produce a true ‘high-pressure’ frame pump and the first to work with revolutionary lightweight material plastic after the end of WWII, and later the first to bring CO2 to roadside inflation. Today SILCA is located in Indianapolis, IN where it continues to build iconic products that utilize the finest materials and craftsmanship available.

A Multi-Tool Kit You can Bring Wherever You Ride

Roughly 70% of damage to high-end carbon components such as seat posts, handlebars and stems happen when making adjustments without using proper torque. This problem is further accentuated by the fact that the majority of adjustments made without torque occur on the roadside or trail.

The best selling Ti-Torque from SILCA helps to curve the portability challenge by being featherlight, weighing in at a mere 30 grams. The Ti-Torque transforms a highly delicate maintenance function into an easy, highly portable and on-the-go accurate adjustment.

The T-Ratchet Kit is equipped with a torque measuring extender/beam that provides real-time feedback, the Ti-Torque beam has three separate scales on it; 2-6, 3-5 and 4-8. This allows you to more easily see when you’ve reached your desired torque setting.

Technical Specifications

The Ti-Torque also features interchangeable magnetic components to convert from a screwdriver to ratcheting T-Handle in seconds, which gives the user the ability to have several tools at once in a compact waxed canvas carrying case that fits nicely into a jersey pocket. Optimal for Road, MTB, Gravel, and more, the Ti-Torque can be brought with you on any ride you choose.
