T5 Endurance Road
Gran Fondo Geometry for Day-long Comfort and Performance
Long-distance comfort, control and quickness.
Welcome to the Litespeed T5 frame, the definition of true endurance road. A deft blend of geometric artistry blends with the natural comfort that titanium brings, coming together in the ride you’ve always wanted: full-day comfort in a frame created for fun, epic days in the saddle.
The centerpiece of the T5 frame exists in its geometry, with a front-end stack that’s two to three centimeters taller than our T1sl. While that raised stack rise is minimal, it’s a game changer in your ride experience, placing you in a less aggressive riding position that takes forward-load pressure off your shoulders and neck. The result allows you to stay comfortable in the saddle—especially during the late miles of those long, epic fondo days you’re craving.
Never mind the fact that the frame naturally delivers comfort; our titanium tubesets still maintain that natural ability to dissipate even the roughest road vibrations, helping keep your hands, arms and upper body fresh, late in the ride.
Make no mistake, though; the T5 is certainly no weekend cruiser. Taking cues from the T1sl, The T5 frame has all the critical performance-focused features, including an oversized and bi-axially shaped downtube that maximizes torsional stiffness and performance; when you jump on the pedals to crest a climb or close a gap, the T5 jumps with you.
It carves through curves as sharply as any of our road rides as well, courtesy of an oversized 44mm headtube with our latest tapered steerer fork technology. Pair it with an oversized, tapered top tube and you have the recipe for a ride that delivers precision handling through the curves.
While the ride of a T5 will always be memorable, be sure to make your own T5 frame memorable as well. Our team in Tennessee is capable of making your T5 yours, in every way. From decals to complimentary etching treatment to custom paint, Di2-specific builds or a T47 bottom bracket upgrade, even rack and fender mount requests, at an added charge and with extra lead time, we can make your T5 truly yours, in every way imaginable. Just give us a call and we’ll set it in motion.
The T5: Quick, light, comfortable and driven to perform. After even the longest gran fondos, it will leave you begging for more.

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.
