Litespeed Pinhoti - XC/Trail
The perfect titanium hardtail mountain bike.
Few things match the purity of a hardtail on singletrack. Lightweight climbing, quick rail-precise handling of a descent… these hallmarks of a hardtail connect rider with bike in a unique way. It’s cross country riding in its purest form; hardtails deliver pure reward.
But… hardtail done in titanium? That, my friend, is the gold standard of cross country and trail riding. As trails get rougher, it shines on quick singletrack; stiff on the punchy climbs, forgiving on the roughest descents in a way no other material can match. It’s that chase for perfection that has resulted the quintessential XC/trail machine: the Pinhoti.
A nod to a heralded (and rugged) trail system in north Georgia just south of our Tennessee factory, the Pinhoti is a study in evolving cross country technology. As trail systems (and the way we ride them) evolve, it meant creating a hardtail with unyielding torsional stiffness when sprinting or climbing. We’ve also made the Pinhoti versatile enough for any rider, available in two versions: a speed-hungry 29er build as well as a 27.5+ build that accommodates for the added footprint while delivering the confident traction and technical handling advantage found in 27.5+ tires.
Built on a titanium platform with a compact rear-center and a short wheelbase, maneuverability of the Pinhoti is truly next-level. Slash through tight switchbacks and carry momentum over big rocks with deft ease.
And of course, no other bike can be tuned for compliance the way a titanium Pinhoti can. We’ve engineered every tubeset for balance; a racy rear-center for speed and precision, elevated seat stays that yield support and stability for a balanced center, and vertical compliance touches that allow us to accommodate for high-resonance damping. The result is a forgiving ride on rocky, technical terrain, without sacrificing out-of-saddle stiffness. The Pinhoti is quick and responsive when working the pedals, yet centered and stable when things get rough. It’s this full roundhouse capability that allows us to herald the Pinhoti as theperfect titanium hardtail mountain bike.
For those that truly want it all, your Pinhoti can be made yours in every way. From a threaded T47 bottom bracket upgrade, Shimano Di2-specific frame options or any special build spec request, our team in Chattanooga, Tenn. Is ready to help make your Pinhoti ride your definition of perfection. Just call or live chat with us!

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.
