Unicoi Endurance XC
The Unicoi provides unparalleled performance, versatility and simplicity.
For those obsessed with speed, cross country riding demands are quite simple: traverse the terrain as fast as possible. That requires a machine that’s light, incredibly responsive and undeniably nimble. Enter the Unicoi, Litespeed’s unabashed XC and marathon trail racer. Whether chasing a place on the podium in Leadville or simply hunting fast singletrack on a weekend session with friends, there’s one light titanium cross country frame capable of carrying you to the top. The Unicoi will take you there.
Named after a trail-rich area of northeast Georgia, the Unicoi has an enviable cross country racing legacy, ridden at events ranging from the Olympics and UCI World Cup to stops to your local XC series… and it’s certainly no stranger to the podium. Recently redesigned, we’ve improved upon an already pro-level race performer ready to take on all comers.
The Unicoi’s proprietary Uni-Strut dual spring construction is its unique signature, delivering two bikes in one. Our 3AL/2.5V titanium construction has allowed our engineers to marry an agile titanium front triangle to brilliantly designed rear triangle with rear suspension damping. With 45mm (1 ¾ inches) of rear travel and a dual spring-controlled design that manages compression and rebound, the frame has just enough suspension to keep the rear tire firmly on the ground—and you in total control— on searing fast rocky or rooty descents. When paired with a 120 to 140mm fork, you have an XC bike that delivers the confident control of a full suspension ride. With all that capability, it’s no wonder some of the biggest brands in the bike industry have adopted our design for their own XC range.
Despite that suspension capability, the Unicoi delivers the stiff performance and incredible weight savings in a titanium hardtail. On climbs, the absence of a mechanical suspension helps keep the Unicoi light and nimble, with rear end stiffness for responsive punch and traction when scrambling up steep grades. A set of Litespeed carbon chainstays elegantly finishes the frame adding torsional stiffness, enhancing climbing performance.
Unicoi is versatile enough to manage speed of all types. With option to run 29” or 27.5+” wheels, pick your poison; bigger 29” wheels for all-out top-end speed, or go for the 27.5+” wheels that deliver surgical handling through even the gnarliest of rock gardens.
While our platform is truly race-ready, your Unicoi can be tailored into a machine with every whim addressed. If you’re in search of a special handlebar, extra bottle bosses, even a custom paint or special component or wheelset we don’t have on offer that would make your Unicoi truly yours, give us a call or live chat with us; we are happy to accommodate in making the XC bike of your dreams.
After that, there’s just one place that matters: the finish line. Whether it’s champagne on the podium or bragging rights with friends, arm yourself with the capable cross country quickness that the Unicoi frame brings.

The Unicoi frame’s hardtail strut design helps keep the traction to the ground while climbing, flowing through singletrack and tackling descents. The simple design also saves weight when compared to full suspension models.

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.
