because ti can flex it will give a "softer" ride if you get chainstay/seatstay design right, we made ti frames 1993/94 and i rode one out of choice. its not a very good material for suspension though, that same flex that makes the bicycle frame comfortable means your shock mount points move. A few MTB compaines tried it but the ride wasn't good, aluminium or steel ( and now carbon) work better for suspension, Saying that the current trend on moto gp bikes is to build flex into the chassis to stop the chatter.
