Litespeed Ultimate Gravel Frame
With a special blend of light weight, stiffness and aerodynamics, the Ultimate has always represented Litespeed’s pinnacle of road racing versatility. With victories at everything from your local stage race to world titles and tour wins, it’s one of the winningest bikes in cycling.
With those superlatives in mind, we finally conceptualized a titanium gravel frame meritorious of that name. One dialed to attack everything from the unrelenting flintstone of Emporia, Kansas, to a weekend session with friends kicking up dust. Welcome the Ultimate Gravel.
The Ultimate Gravel is our pure all-around performer frame platform. On the roads, our 3AL/2.5V titanium downtube and seattube—teardropped for a touch of aero advantage—deliver drivetrain stiffness at speed in the drops and up punchy climbs.
But when you transition onto the dirt, our deftly-engineered tubesets deliver the comfort and control that make titanium the ideal material for gravel bikes. The Ultimate Gravel’s swept titanium seatstays help deflect vertical impact on even the rockiest trails, while the entire frame’s inherent vibration-damping capabilities absorb high-frequency vibrations of washboard roads, leaving body fatigue in the dust as you power ahead late in a race.
With plenty of frame clearance and options for fender mounts, you can make the Ultimate Gravel frame whatever you choose; a machine ready for 200 hard miles of racing, a comfy weekend backcountry bikepacking ride, or anything in between. Just contact us to discuss how to make it truly yours. With the Ultimate Gravel, it just doesn’t get any better.
This is it: the dirt-worthy drop bar frame by which all others are measured; the Ultimate Gravel. Race-ready, and down to shred.
The Litespeed Ultimate Gravel frame is an aerodynamic machine that climbs and descends with power and precision on the road, while absorbing all the roughest gravel trails out there for true comfort and control.

Peloton Magazine: Ultimate Gravel Review
"Before carbon took over, a debate about the best frame material enveloped the cycling world. Was it steel? After all it is real. How about alloy? Unfortunately, it was not yet at the level of quality we're seeing today. No, the "it" material was titanium and the "it" Ti builder was Litespeed, a company whose reputation precedes it.
Now, the cycling world is again undergoing a seismic shift, but this time, instead of from metal to carbon, it's from pavement to gravel — and titanium again has a place to shine."
Find answers to common questions about bike builds, custom component selections, and shipping. If you have any questions feel free to live-chat with us or contact us.
How long does it take to receive my bike? Due to high demand, lead times vary per bike model, size, and build kit. For an accurate delivery estimate live-chat or contact us!
Can I make changes to the build kit? Absolutely. Our bikes are built to order so you can customize however you'd like. If there are components you'd really like on your bike but don't see them offered live-chat or contact us for availability and a custom quote!
Can I have a different length stem, crankarms, or different gearing? We spec different length components on our bikes based on common lengths per each size of bike. If you are looking to specify what length components or the gearing you'd like on your new Litespeed just live-chat or contact us and we'll get you started on a custom order.
How much does shipping cost? UNITED STATES: Shipping for frame and frameset orders is $55 USD. For full bike orders shipping is $195 and includes professional assemble at our Litespeed factory and shipment in our Litespeed Pro Box so you don't have to assemble the bike when it arrives to your door.
OUTSIDE OF USA: By going through the checkout process, you will be able to see the shipping charges associated with shipping to your country. We offer competitive shipping prices around the world, and even cover duty, VAT and import fees when shipping to Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia.
Does my bike arrive assembled? For orders in the United States our bikes ship assembled in our Litespeed Pro Box. Adjust your bars then add the seatpost and front wheel and you're ready to ride.
Please note: all disc brake bikes are shipped with a leverless thru-axle. A 6mm allen wrench is needed for removal or installation of your front and rear wheels.
*Bikes ordered with custom geometry: Our 30-day return policy does not apply to custom frame orders. If your order is cancelled for any reason, you will receive a 50% refund. Questions? Reach out to our team via LiveChat online or via email at info@litespeed.com and we'll be happy to help.
