The Sportive represents a bike that you will simply want to ride. A new bike with the long haul Sportive or Gran Fondo event in mind. It has the same race edge of a Litespeed with the enduring comfort of refined geometry and the ride that is titanium. The construction is from US milled, hand fabricated, 3Al-2.5V aerospace quality titanium. There are no compromises in materials or workmanship.

  • Tapered, butted, lathe cut seat stays with a swept bend improve ride quality maximizing fatigue resistance.
  • Chain stays are tapered and butted to create a nice smooth, stiff drivetrain with ample tire and component clearance.
  • An oversized top tube enhances stiffness and control.
  • Oversized seat tube provides a more efficient power transfer.
  • Long reach brake specification is very fender mudguard friendly.
  • Threaded rack eyelets are standard, rather than an option.
