Litespeed

This triathlon bike is like no other. Let's not confuse time trial and triathlon bikes like some of our friends. The Triathlon bike needs to deliver: aerodynamics, comfort and a ride that does not drain the body of life before the last discipline. Step aside carbon fiber, the Litespeed TitaniumTM Saber delivers all the aerodynamics you could desire; aero seat post, concealed cables, rear wheel seat tube cut out and rear entry drop outs. Combine aero with the most suitable material for a triathlon bike "titanium" and you have a ride for the short or long course event with durability and ride un-matched.

  • Cold worked 3/2.5 G.E.T. Litespeed Titanium formed and shaped to the perfect 3:1 aerodynamic ratio which gives the ride unique to Litespeed; light, strong & fast.
  • Sweeping aero seat stays deliver wind-defying comfort for the long course haul. Responsive yet enduring.
  • Aero-carbon telescopic seat post offers seamless bike to post transition delivering a low frontal area machine with a sturdy interface between rider and bike.
  • Rear entry drop-outs allow tight positioning of the rear wheel to the seat tube cut away while giving extended life to the frame, even after crashes or baggage handler miss-haps.
