TOSCANO FI RED | SIZE SM

Fork choice will depend on your riding preferences and terrain.

A gravel suspension fork will add comfort and confidence on rough terrain, but it will weigh more than a rigid carbon fork, and it may feel less efficient (due to flex, weight, or pedal bob) on smooth terrain.

A rigid fork is lighter, and it also provides a bit more tire clearance and mounting options for extra gear and bags, but it will transmit more shock from impacts and vibration from rough roads.

All Litespeed gravel bikes come from the factory with tires set up tubeless with Stan's NoTubes sealant.

If you would like innertubes, you can make a note in the "component request field" on your order, and we will be happy to accommodate.

The Toscano is a gravel bike designed for gravel racing and high-speed gravel riding. It is ideal for gravel riders and racers who want the lightest and fastest titanium gravel bike possible.

The Ultimate G2 has similar geometry and handling, but its titanium tubeset is slightly more compliant for more all-around use. The Flint has a more relaxed, adventure-oriented geometry, more tire clearance, and a different tubeset, which makes it slightly heavier but provides more robustness and affordability.

Every Litespeed titanium frame is hand-built in the USA, in our factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, by master framebuilders using premium, globally sourced materials.

1x maximum chainring size is 46t. 2x maximum chainring size is 48/31t.

The Toscano has clearance to fit gravel tires up to 700c x 50mm wide with a 1x drivetrain.

With a 2x drivetrain, tire clearance is reduced to 700c x 48mm due to the front derailleur.

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 Toscano is built with Litespeed's Superform SL 6/4 tubeset. Superform SL 6/4 is a superlight titanium tubeset that combines our 3AL/2.5V titanium Superform SL tubeset with a sheet-formed titanium top tube hand-crafted from a single ultra-thin sheet of 6AL/4V titanium. This is significantly lighter than a standard 3AL/2.5V top tube, while providing greater tensile strength and lateral stiffness for racing applications.
