Bringing back one of the most successful bikes ever to bear the Litespeed name was not an easy task. Road Bike Action cited the Blade as one of the most significant time trial bikes in history. How do you improve upon a bike that has victories in every major triathlon and time-trial, national titles, world titles, olympic appearances, and yellow jerseys from Tour de France stage victories? R&D.

We have spent countless hours researching, testing, and pushing the limits of what was ever thought possible in bicycle design. No expense has been spared in the development of this wind-cheating machine. The new Blade utilizes all of Litespeed's accumulated knowledge, expertise, and technology to give you the ultimate speed racer.

When seconds are an eternity and fractions separate you from winning and everyone else, the blade is your weapon of choice.
