How do you think they manage to build Ti bike frames? Hint:it involves cutting and bending.
You can cut and bend Ti. Ti actually bends easier than 4130 steel - that's why Ti bike frame tubing (the stays in particular) are larger diameter - to give those frame members adequate rigidity. It's harder to cut, but not enough to make much difference in the case of a bike lock and a determined thief.
I'm certain a grinder would cut right thru the OPs lock, in about a minute. The only advantage to a Ti lock is small weight savings, at probably much greater cost. I think Kryptonic would have already made one if it was a good idea.
However, I do like the novelty of the OPs lock, and I'd consider buying one if it were priced competitively.
