The Ghisallo is designed around 700c x 25mm-28mm tires. It has clearance to fit road tires up to 28mm wide.

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.

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 Ghisallo features extensive titanium tube manipulation to achieve its incredibly low weight. The titanium wall thicknesses are precisely controlled along the full length of each tube to bring down weight. For optimal performance and handling, these tubes must be designed around riders of a certain weight.

Riders heavier than the 85kg/187lb weight limit may experience excessive frame flex, which will lead to a suboptimal riding experience. If you're over the Ghisallo's weight limit, we suggest trying our Spezia, which is nearly as light, significantly stiffer, and has no rider weight limit.

The Ghisallo is built with Litespeed's Superform FW tubeset. Superform FW is a premier featherweight titanium tubeset used exclusively on the world’s lightest titanium bikes: the Coll dels Reis and the Ghisallo. Superform FW is an aerospace-grade 3AL/2.5V titanium tubeset featuring extreme multi-dimensional shaping and wall-thickness reduction to maximize both ride quality and weight reduction.
