MORE CONFIDENCE, MORE AGILITY, MORE COMFORT, MORE FUN

We’ve updated the geometry from the original Pinhoti to deliver confidence that allows you to go with open, reckless abandon. Tubeset shaping enhances comfort for the long ride. As trail riding has evolved, our engineers got more creative, and did a complete makeover, modernizing our signature trail model.

DESIGNED AND BUILT FOR THE NEXT TRAIL

To accommodate for a wide range of tire and chainring clearance, the Pinhoti III employs an asymmetric dropped chainstay receiving a striking new CNC-machined titanium chainstay yoke.

TUBE SHAPING DESIGNED FOR TRAIL SMASHING

The Pinhoti III gains a whole new range of tube shaping. From curves of the downtube and seattube, to the subtle shaping along the stays, all tubesets have been updated in the interest of performance gains, namely greater vibration damping capacity.

EXPLORE THE DETAILS

The Pinhoti is the trail hardtail in its ideal form, built with low weight and capable geometry so you can crush climbs and shred descents, all with the unmatched durability and ride quality of Litespeed titanium.

The Pinhoti III has clearance to fit mountain bike tires up to 29" x 2.5” or 27.5" x 3.0” wide.

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 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.

The Pinhoti III is built with Litespeed's Pure LW tubeset. Pure LW is a lightweight titanium tubeset made from aerospace-grade 3AL/2.5V titanium. It is formed, butted, and bent in-house just like our Superform tubes, but omits the multi-dimensional shaping and variable wall-thickness to reduce cost. Pure LW is the ideal choice for bikes that prioritize comfort and durability, while remaining competitively lightweight.
