A great review of both Litespeed Carbon Fiber & Titanium bikes.  Litespeed has been the world leader in titanium technology and recently made a huge investment on carbon fiber road bikes and getting very good reviews of it.  Click on the links for the reviews found on July 2013 Road Bike Action Magazine.

Litespeed T1 Titanium Road Frame

Since the T1 (formerly Archon) won Eurobike's prestigious Design Award, it has re-written industry expectations of a metal bike's capabilities. The 2013 T1 retains the same features of the previous version, but now also features a PF30 bottom bracket and an oversized head tube for more fork-tuning capability. This frame has replaced the Archon as the most technologically advanced metal bicycle ever created.

Litespeed Citico MWC Ti Frameset

Named after the Citico Creek Wilderness in Southeastern Tennessee, the pro-grade, Archon-inspired Citico is the first MTB frame to use our T1 engineered 6Al/4V, 6-sided and flared top tube and a massive bi-axially ovalized down tube to provide incredible steering feedback, accuracy, and unequaled front end stiffness.  MultiWheel Compatible (MWC) design-optimized for 27.5 inch wheels, yet still compatible with 26 inch wheels via an eccentric BB.  A bicycle of brilliant overall handling and absolute world-class performance. 

Litespeed Pisgah MWC Ti Frameset

Performance-inspired geometry identical to the Citico, the Pisgah puts legendary Litespeed performance into service for any cross-country, single-speed, or urban MTB build.  New frame design boasts MultiWheel Compatible (MWC) design-optimized for 27.5 inch wheels, yet still compatible with 26 inch wheels via an eccentric BB.  Hand-crafted in the USA, the Pisgah offers true, master titanium fabrication, a shot at single-track nirvana, and the heralded Litespeed badge at a level sure to attract a new crowd of titanium enthusiasts. 

Litespeed C1R Frameset

The Litespeed C1R is a ProTour-level bike and might soon have a ride in Europe. It's the lightest, stiffest, fastest, and most aero of their C-series frames and is ready to be ridden fast by strong, aggressive riders who want no energy wasted.

Litespeed Citico Frameset

New for 2011 and named after the Citico Creek Wilderness in Southeastern Tennessee, the pro-grade, Archon-inspired Citico is the first MTB frame to use our T1 engineered 6Al/4V, 6-sided and flared top tube and a massive bi-axially ovalized down tube to provide incredible steering feedback, accuracy, and unequaled front end stiffness.  A bicycle of brilliant overall handling and absolute world-class performance.
