THE ULTIMATE ROAD ALL-ROUNDER
The Ultimate is the longest-running model in the Litespeed line-up, and for good reason. Since its inception, it has been the performance benchmark against which all other titanium bikes are measured. The modern Ultimate is built using all of Litespeed's advanced titanium technology, taking the classic titanium riding experience to the next level with lower weight and fine-tuned stiffness.

THE ULTIMATE BENCHMARK
When Litespeed introduced the Ultimate in 1987, it was the “ultimate” road bike, lusted after and raced by many of the sport’s most legendary riders. The Ultimate design has been refined over three decades, bringing the modern Ultimate even closer to perfection.
METICULOUSLY SHAPED TITANIUM
The Superform SL titanium tubeset is custom-formed using advanced titanium manipulation capabilities unique to Litespeed. With variable wall thickness and multi-dimensional shaping, the Ultimate ride experience exceeds that of any “regular” titanium road bike.
ULTIMATE ROAD PERFORMANCE
Modern performance meets classic titanium. We designed a bike with the targeted stiffness found in premium carbon road bikes, without sacrificing titanium’s magical ride quality. With 35mm tire clearance, the Ultimate is built to excel in every road riding scenario.
SUPERFORM SL TUBING
Our premium aerospace-grade Superform SL tubeset is custom-formed and cold-worked into 3D shapes with variable wall thickness to achieve precise flex characteristics and weight targets. Every tube is size-specific and fine-tuned to produce the perfect ride.
35MM TIRE CLEARANCE
Modern road racing demands modern tire clearance. The Ultimate will fit tires up to 35mm wide, giving you more options to choose a tire setup that will maximize comfort and minimize rolling resistance while opening up more roads for exploration.
PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY
Designed by a team that has built bikes for countless pro racers, World Champions, and Tour de France stage winners, the Ultimate geometry and handling represent decades of refinement and provide the perfect combination of agility and confidence.
MODERN INTEGRATION
For those who want the cleanest aero silhouette, the Arenberg FI features fully integrated cables to keep everything neat and out of the wind. We understand that hidden cables aren’t for everyone, though, so a non-integrated Arenberg is also available.
CNC-MACHINED TITANIUM
All of Litespeed’s titanium dropouts, brake mounts, and small parts are designed and CNC-machined in-house. Components like our machined dropout and two-piece disc brake mount are lighter and stronger than any 3D-printed titanium equivalent.
BUILT FOR YOU
Every Litespeed is built to order and delivered to your door in 3-4 weeks. Experience the advanced titanium technology, unmatched attention to detail, and custom component and finish options that have made Litespeed bikes legendary.
