As I said, not the equivalent of the best CF, but better than just about anything else around. Noodly Ti is old news and not at all the current situation despite the low weights. Hanging noodly on Ti in 2015 is like hanging really harsh riding on Al today. It just isn't the current state of the art.
ti can be stiff as a board where it counts. My Salsa is a rocket when you get on it, not noodly whatsoever,and no, it doesn't have to look boring:
