C1R OVERVIEW
2012 Frameset
2011 Frameset
The Archon evolved. After three years of development, research, and a relentless drive for a flawless ride, we're proud to introduce the Litespeed Archon C1R, an even lighter, stiffer, faster flagship model for 2011. Stealth-fighter matte finish, fully integrated seat mast design, and Reactive Pressure Molding (RPM) carbon construction translate into the ultimate race-ready workhorse. Carefully considered aerodynamic cross-sections and size variable tubing mean you can have it all: AeroLogic advantages on descents and Litespeed's legendary ride-tuning techniques for the entire ride.
