Over 30 years ago, we began to hear from cyclists who wanted a bike that was strong and durable—yet light and agile. It was a tall order, but our team of designers was up for the challenge.

While the rest of the cycling industry delved in many of the same bike building processes from ages before, a new breed of bikes was born in Chattanooga, Tenn. We discovered a new way to work with titanium, to extract all the finest features from this incredible material. We were able to harmonize the elements of stiffness, comfort, and weight savings, all in a bike with both remarkable durability and an incredible lifespan. The result was a new and exciting cycling experience: the Litespeed titanium experience.
