Choosing the Right Bike

Choosing the bicycle that best fits your needs can be a somewhat daunting endeavor. Within these pages we hope to better define for you the different riding styles, the design process, different frame materials, and the various fabrication techniques that we employ. Our goal is to equip you with the tools necessary to guide you through the process of selecting your dream bike. More-->

Choosing the Right Material

In the world of high performance bicycle frame design, there are three primary materials being used today; titanium, carbon fiber composites, and aluminum. All three materials have properties that work very well in cycling. However the titanium alloys 3Al/2.5V and 6Al/4V offer the greatest overall combination of physical, mechanical, and chemical properties to yield a frame with the best possible combination of durability, ride quality, stiffness, and weight. And to understand exactly why these titanium alloys work so well you need to first understand each property and then more importantly how they all interact together. There are seven primary material properties which factor greatly in bicycle frame design: More-->

Litespeed Frame Technology

By now you have a pretty solid grasp on the type of frame you are looking for and a better appreciation of why titanium is the ultimate frame material for creating a true high-performance bicycle. What we would like to do now is introduce you to Litespeed and what goes into the design and creation of the twenty-two different frames we offer.

In wind tunnels, laboratories and race venues around the world, we have conducted extensive research and testing and have successfully gathered a wealth of knowledge on how to build the highest-performance bicycles on the planet. More-->
