The bike Litespeed has been waiting to create for over 21 years, a bike possessing technologies born from relationships with NASA, pro cyclists, and the most discriminating enthusiasts. We have developed and brought together a series of tubes never before seen in a titanium bike. A refined, new titanium development designed to offer a balance of strength, durability, handling, acceleration and performance never seen before in a Titanium or Litespeed product.

  • Chain-Stays 3Al-2.5V Asymmetric Double Butted chain-stay. Bi-planar BB/CS junction multi cross section V-bend fabrication. Provides a wealth of tire and heel clearance while maintaining excellent component compatibility. Drive-train efficiency is beyond reproach. The most contemporary component compatibility with a unique look and performance.
  • Down Tube/BB Junction 3Al-2.5V seat tube ovalizes and wraps the bottom bracket (beneath the surface of the down tube) This Provides added weld surface area, incredible power transfer and is compatible with all 35mm front derailleurs.
  • Head Tube/Top Tube Junction New proprietary "Wrap" Technology. 3Al-2.5V Double Butted Head Tube Provides head tube stiffness never before experienced with titanium.
