THE LITESPEED STORY
LEGENDARY TITANIUM
Since 1986, Litespeed has been building the world’s most advanced titanium bikes in Chattanooga, Tennessee, using the highest-quality globally sourced materials. Find out why nothing beats Litespeed titanium.
Nothing beats titanium. And nothing beats Litespeed titanium.
WHY LITESPEED TI?
The reasons are legendary. The material of choice for lunar missions, aircraft, and more, titanium is heralded for its remarkable qualities. Titanium is lighter than steel, and won’t rust or corrode. It’s the perfect travel companion—easy to pack, difficult for baggage handlers to damage, easy to repair.
But it’s titanium’s inherent materials capabilities that make it the finest material in bicycles. It has the ability to absorb road shock better than carbon fiber. That means less hand and overall body fatigue when you’re out on the long ride. With less fatigue, you can ride longer, recover faster, and perform at your best. It also won’t degrade under tough conditions. Mud and sand scrubbing along the frame in the heat of race action won’t ruin your frame as it can with carbon or other materials.
But a Litespeed is a step beyond. Our ability to shape our tubes, weld them from flat sheets into a tubeset, and handcraft small parts from our dropouts to our scalloped headtubes and bottom brackets—are all done for performance enhancement. And it’s all achieved at a level unmatched by any other titanium manufacturer simply welding round tubes. Our mastery over the material makes Litespeed the best-riding, best-performing titanium bike available—period.
WE PURSUE THE JOY OF THE RIDE
We are motivated by the joy of the ride—whether it’s chasing those fleeting moments with friends, or attaining those measurable performance gains on every ride. Our bikes are created to capture those moments and gains that result in the ultimate cycling experience. We are inspired by cyclists—across all cycling platforms—to provide a passionate community and welcome all to join our efforts.
UNMATCHED TITANIUM HISTORY
Litespeed is one of the oldest titanium frame builders in America, and we have more experience than anyone when it comes to building race-winning titanium bikes. Our design team has worked with many of the world’s best riders, and our bikes have been used by legends of the sport to win Tour de France stages, World Championships, and Olympic Gold. Our greatest victory, though, is yours—whatever that looks like. Every Litespeed bike is built to perform and designed to help you achieve your most ambitious cycling goals.
UNMATCHED TITANIUM EXPERTISE
Litespeed is driven by innovation, and we are the world leader in performance-driven titanium frame design and tube manufacturing. Our ability to deliver targeted stiffness, strength, and weight through our cutting-edge tube shaping results in titanium bikes that perform like no other. Our titanium expertise and manufacturing capabilities are why NASA chose Litespeed as its titanium technology partner for the Curiosity Rover. The same team that built Curiosity’s advanced titanium frame built your bike, so you know it’s ready for anything.
COMMITTED TO TITANIUM BIKES
In the world of high-performance bicycle frame design, titanium alloys offer the best possible combination of durability, ride quality, stiffness, and weight. With the liveliness of high-quality steel and the shock absorption of the best carbon fiber, it delivers what many call a “magical ride.” We wouldn’t build a bike out of anything else. Combined with our cutting-edge tube shaping, the result is a bike that rides like nothing else. Best of all, Litespeed titanium bikes are built to last a lifetime, so you can enjoy the ride for decades to come.
COMMITTED TO TITANIUM RIDERS
Buying a new bike can be overwhelming. Our team of experts makes it easy, walking you through the process and answering all your questions—no matter how big or small. Everything from understanding components and cosmetic options to mechanical support at select events, we ensure a comfortable, pressure-free process from start to finish. Our experts are always accessible by phone, email, or live chat. As a Litespeed owner, you join a community of fellow riders that will be with you every step of the way.
THE BEST IN TITANIUM.
