One With the Trail
The Pisgah climbs faster, descends harder, and moves like an extension of your body. Confident geometry combined with tuned flex empowers riders to shralp corners, skip across rocks and roots, and squash brutal G-outs.
The most capable trail hardtail we've ever created, made tougher with advanced titanium design.
The Pisgah climbs faster, descends harder, and moves like an extension of your body. Confident geometry combined with tuned flex empowers riders to shralp corners, skip across rocks and roots, and squash brutal G-outs.
An all-new tubeset made with advanced titanium tube shaping and a unique rear-end design built around a tubular yoke increases the Pisgah's strength and stiffness where it matters, maximizing your abilities on the toughest terrain.
Custom-formed tubes use variable wall thickness and cold-worked 3D shaping to optimize durability and stiffness. The Pisgah is built to take the endless abuse and embody the legendary ride of Litespeed titanium.
Strength enhanced by the highest-performance aerospace-grade Superform X tubeset.
Tubing refined with multi-dimensional shaping and variable wall thickness.
Built in Chattanooga, Tennessee, using globally sourced premium materials.
How do you improve the humble hardtail? For our engineers, the answer lay in optimizing the joints.
The layout of the rear end uses our Tubular Titanium Yoke. The tubes are re-engineered to fit together into intelligent puzzle pieces, tripling the mechanical strength in the joint. The widened seatstay stance reduces bends to increase strength and stiffness.
This new design gives hard-hitting riders everything they dream of: the precision to ride on the ragged edge, the toughness to survive the most brutal hits, and the sublime ride quality of Litespeed titanium.
This bike was so much fun to ride! It was super playful on small jumps and corners but also had no problem holding a full speed line down Trace Ridge.
The Pisgah is the hardtail that will leave your full suspension bike collecting dust. Snappy and responsive on the climbs and supremely capable and playful on the descents
Nestled deep within the Appalachian Mountains is the mountain biking paradise of Pisgah National Forest. On big climbs and gnarly downhills, we ride to commune with nature in its most beautiful and untamed state.
We partnered with SORBA Chattanooga and Handup to host a Pisgah launch party at Raccoon Mountain and put the bike to the test on Raccoon's variety of trails. Over 50 members of the Chattanooga MTB community showed up to experience the Pisgah firsthand, speak with the engineering team behind the bike, and ride together to celebrate this brand new bike. We ended the evening with a barbecue at Laurel Point, honoring this great community coming together and the release of the Litespeed Pisgah.
Litespeed bikes have won World Championships and Tour de France stages, and NASA even relied on our team to design and build titanium components for the Curiosity Mars Rover. No bike brand has more experience pushing the limits of titanium manufacturing.
Handcrafted in Chattanooga, Tennessee from globally sourced premium materials. Choose your finish, build kit, and fit — no two Pisgahs leave the shop the same.
