The Sasaki metric was introduced in [\textit{W. Klingenberg} and \textit{S. Sasaki}, Tohoku Math. J. (2) 27, 49--56 (1975; Zbl 0309.53036)]. Its attractive nature has enticed many geometers to study its and its related structures [\textit{K. Yano} and \textit{S. Ishihara}, Tangent and cotangent bundles. Differential geometry. New York, NY: Marcel Dekker, Inc. (1973; Zbl 0262.53024); \textit{N. Cengiz} and \textit{A. A. Salimov}, Appl. Math. Comput. 142, No. 2--3, 309--319 (2003; Zbl 1034.53016); \textit{S.

The principal objective in this paper is to introduce the twisted Sasaki metric on the tangent bundle \(TM\) as a new natural metric non-rigid on \(TM\). The authors investigate the geometry of the twisted Sasaki metrics and characterize the Einstein structure (Theorem 8). The sectional curvature (Theorem 9) and the scalar curvature (Theorem 11) are determined.
