Introducing the All-New Litespeed Watia. Gravel, Reimagined. Get an inside look from our lead designer, Brad Devaney.

Litespeed Watia Gravel Ti Frame

Whether it’s speed for race day or versatility for the weekend escape into the unknown, Watia is the newest, most wildly capable titanium gravel bike Litespeed has ever created. When it comes to a clean getaway into the dirt, no one else comes close.

Named appropriately, we hail Watia, deep in North Carolina's Nantahala National Forest. Well off the beaten path, Watia Creek is beautifully inconvenient; those that want to see its natural wonder have to really want it. It’s this small parcel we pay homage to, a parallel summation of where the Watia can take you: well off the grid.

Litespeed Cherohala Ti Frame

The Cherohala frame appropriately pairs with its namesake, the Cherohala Skyway, which winds through the beautiful backcountry of the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forest. Its miles of winding roads and dirt paths are rewarded with scenic overlooks and waterfalls. It’s this remarkable parcel that inspired a remarkable bike, built to explore, anything from your backyard paths to Tour Divide.

With a slightly more relaxed geometry, yet a lively titanium ride that’s poised to play, we’ve achieved day-long ride nirvana in the Cherohala, the finest titanium all-road frame available.

Litespeed Ultimate Gravel Ti Frame

With a special blend of light weight, stiffness and aerodynamics, the Ultimate has always represented Litespeed’s pinnacle of road racing versatility. With victories at everything from your local stage race to world titles and tour wins, it’s one of the winningest bikes in cycling.

With those superlatives in mind, we finally conceptualized a titanium gravel frame meritorious of that name. One dialed to attack everything from the unrelenting flintstone of Emporia, Kansas, to a weekend session with friends kicking up dust. Welcome the Ultimate Gravel.

Litespeed Kitsuma MTB Frame

Named after the legendary Kitsuma trail in the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina, the Kitsuma is Litespeed's most contemporary and versatile hardtail mountain bike. Made in the USA with Litespeed's precision hand-built quality and attention to detail.

Litespeed NoliChucky Trail Titanium MTB Frameset

With a titanium front triangle and carbon rear, the Litespeed Nolichucky could be just about the best enduro bike you could imagine, offering the compliance and comfort of titanium with the hardcore stiffness of carbon.

Litespeed Unicoi Endurance XC Titanium MTB Frameset

If you are interested in buying something that climbs like a hardtail and can take a flow trail like a full suspension rig, then the Litespeed Unicoi will be just what you’re after. It’s an XC bike that will give you the traction and comfort levels that will make every trail a joy and help you pile-on the miles.

Litespeed T5 Titanium Road Frameset

Gran Fondo Geometry for Performance and All-Day Comfort

Litespeed T1SL Frameset

The T1sl is a no-holds-barred race bike, born of years of our titanium expertise. Now even lighter and stiffer than before, it’s proof that weight-weenie status isn’t limited to carbon and that titanium is still the material of choice for discerning riders. High performance road geometry with a 15% weight reduction from the 2015 T1, the new 2016 T1sl is Super Light. It's new innovative top tube is created from a single sheet of 6Al/4V titanium to make a unique multi-facted tapered tube that reduces weight and increases stiffness.
