ALL the shafts are steel!! Unobtanium is just a marketing ploy to make it seem "exotic"--they are steel shafts coated in a hard coating. I know people are saying that the latest gold (ti-nitride) coated shafts seem to break easier--that could just be to a different grade or manufacturing process of the steel.

Un-coated titanium doesn't make a good bearing or sliding shaft material as ti is very "grabby"--one of the reasons it is essential to use anti-seize in a large titanium bolt that is going to have some torque to it.
