SUSPENSION CORRECTED & UDH

Boost your comfort and confidence on rugged terrain with clearance to fit tires up to 54mm wide, UDH drop-outs to fit any derailleur, and suspension-corrected geometry tuned for increased stability and designed to fit the latest gravel suspension forks.

INCREASED BOLT-ON VERSATILITY

The Flint comes standard with three bottle boss locations, including under downtube, but it allows any rider to become a pack mule with optional rack, fender, or top tube storage mounts. Choose the exact mount setup you need for your wildest adventures.

AFFORDABLE GRAVEL PERFORMANCE

Advanced and affordable don’t have to be mutually exclusive. The Flint’s Pure LW titanium frame is designed with butted, size-specific tubing and dropped chainstays that use full-length tubing from dropout to BB instead of relying on a simpler machined yoke.

THE INSPIRATION

THE LEGENDARY FLINT HILLS

The Flint Hills of Emporia, Kansas play host to the world's biggest gravel event: UNBOUND Gravel. The flint stone here is sharp, rough, and known for battering bodies and bikes that come unprepared for the brutal challenge.

PURE LW TUBING

Our aerospace-grade Pure LW tubeset is hand-crafted in-house, size-specific, butted, and fine-tuned to produce the perfect ride, making it ideal for bikes that prioritize comfort and durability, while remaining competitively lightweight.

54MM TIRE CLEARANCE

Big gravel adventures are better with big gravel tires. The Flint will fit tires up to 54mm wide, giving you more options to choose a tire setup that will maximize comfort and minimize rolling resistance while opening up more roads for exploration.

SUSPENSION-CORRECTED GEOMETRY

The Flint’s handling is tuned to provide the perfect amount of stability and comfort for any gravel adventure. The geometry is suspension corrected, giving riders the option to switch between a suspension fork or a rigid fork to suit their terrain.

MODERN INTEGRATION

For those who want the cleanest aero silhouette, the Flint FI features fully integrated cables to keep everything neat and out of the wind. We understand that hidden cables aren’t for everyone, though, so a non-integrated Flint is also available.

CNC-MACHINED TITANIUM

All of Litespeed’s titanium dropouts, brake mounts, and small parts are designed and CNC-machined in-house. Components like our machined dropout and two-piece disc brake mount are lighter and stronger than any 3D-printed titanium equivalent.

BUILT FOR YOU

Every Litespeed is built to order and delivered to your door in 3-4 weeks. Experience the advanced titanium technology, unmatched attention to detail, and custom component and finish options that have made Litespeed bikes legendary.

All Litespeed gravel bikes come from the factory with tires set up tubeless with Stan's NoTubes sealant.

If you would like innertubes, you can make a note in the "component request field" on your order, and we will be happy to accommodate.

Fork choice will depend on your riding preferences and terrain.

A gravel suspension fork will add comfort and confidence on rough terrain, but it will weigh more than a rigid carbon fork, and it may feel less efficient (due to flex, weight, or pedal bob) on smooth terrain.

A rigid fork is lighter, and it also provides a bit more tire clearance and mounting options for extra gear and bags, but it will transmit more shock from impacts and vibration from rough roads.

The Flint is our most adventure-oriented gravel bike, with relaxed geometry, more tire clearance, and our most robust and affordable tubeset. It's ideal for gravel riders who want a do-it-all gravel bike for everything from bikepacking to racing.

The Toscano and Ultimate G2 have slightly more race-oriented construction, geometry, and handling, and they are built with a lighter and stiffer titanium tubeset, which increases cost.

The Flint has clearance to fit gravel tires up to 700c x 54mm wide with a 1x drivetrain.

With a 2x drivetrain, tire clearance is reduced to 700c x 50mm due to the front derailleur.

Every Litespeed titanium frame is hand-built in the USA, in our factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, by master framebuilders using premium, globally sourced materials.

The Flint is built with Litespeed's Pure LW tubeset. Pure LW is a lightweight titanium tubeset made from aerospace-grade 3AL/2.5V titanium. It is formed, butted, and bent in-house just like our Superform tubes, but omits the multi-dimensional shaping and variable wall-thickness to reduce cost. Pure LW is the ideal choice for bikes that prioritize comfort and durability, while remaining competitively lightweight.

The average lead time is 3-4 weeks. This is because every Litespeed titanium frame and complete bike is built to order. You will receive email updates informing you when we begin building and assembling your bike, and when it is shipped from our factory.

1x maximum chainring size is 42t. 2x maximum chainring size is 48/31t.
