Bio-Based DYNEEMA® Fiber is Lighter, Stronger and Smarter

Dyneema® fiber is 15x stronger than steel at the same weight and is so light that it floats on water. The promise of integrating Dyneema® in carbon structures has been making headlines for years now, but to date very few manufacturers have been able to incorporate the material. TIME is different–we aren’t reliant on materials availability from large carbon prepreg manufacturers. By weaving our own braided carbon structures (BCS) we have been able to test strands of sustainable Bio-Based Dyneema® fibres since they first became available from DSM. And unlike the high temperature ovens used to cure standard prepreg frames, the lower resin temperature of the RTM injection process is well within the safe temperature range for Dyneema®

Is It Your Time?

The Alpe d’Huez Disc rider is looking for top performance, cutting-edge materials, stiffness and precision. Any rider looking to step away from the anonymity of the mainstream will love the engineering and panache of the AdH Disc.

Litespeed’s signature lightweight frame is no one-trick pony. While it truly defies the scales, the T1sl is an all-around performer, thanks to the deft workmanship of our craftsmen and their decades of titanium expertise. This no-holds-barred race platform is as adept  at carving corners and holding speed on the flats as it is climbing. In this disc brake version with seamlessly integrated internal hydraulic cable routing and a clean flat-mount road disc-specific design, stopping power is unsurpassed. And for the discerning cyclist, titanium still reigns supreme as the king of lightweight race bike capability. At 1,169 grams in size medium, the T1sl Disc remains the lightest production handmade titanium frame available on the market.

How we make a performance race frame this strong, stiff, comfortable and light is what sets the T1sl disc apart from all others. The centerpiece is an innovative top tube, handcrafted from a single sheet of aerospace-grade 6AL/4V titanium, shaped into a multi-faceted tapered tube that slashes weight while increasing torsional stiffness.

The frame remains race-day stiff with a pair of oversized, triple-butted asymmetric chainstays designed for unyielding power transfer. The downtube completes the package, oversized and bi-axially ovalized to provide optimal performance and stiffness. At the front, a beautifully engraved 44mm headtube delivers precision handling. With a PF30 bottom bracket, the T1sl compatible with nearly every crankset available.

Bolstering the premium performance of the T1sl is the disc brake design. With 12mm thru axles and flat-mount design, not only does torsional stiffness through the axles amplify the frame’s stiff design, you get the clear benefit of hydraulic disc stopping power.

To ensure every T1sl is built to precision tolerances that ensure the perfect ride in every size, each frame has size-specific tubesets, guaranteeing consistent performance, regardless if you’re a size XS or XL. We also use the highest-quality titanium available, with our cold-working making it even better. While our competition settles for softer, more easily-processed grades of titanium, we go above and beyond to deliver the most premium cycling-specific tubesets. That NASA comes to us for our materials choice advice is no mistake. And the result speaks for itself.

The finest titanium climbing frame available is also fully customizable as well. Choose our standard decal presentation, our complimentary etched finish, even a custom paint upgrade. Or go for a T47 threaded bottom bracket upgrade.  Even true one-off request including rack and fender mounts are possible, which may require additional costs and lead times. The options are endless; just call us to make your own T1sl Disc frame a true custom build.

There are very few road bike models with the lasting heritage of the Ultimate. It was first introduced as Litespeed’s premier 3AL-2.5V titanium race bike, utilizing our most progressive designs to create a bike with exceptional handling and stiffness characteristics. A USPRO national championship, several stage victories, even a UCI World Road Racing Championship—rebadged— were amassed on Litespeed’s then flagship model.

Today, that heritage lives on, but the ceiling of what’s possible in a race bike has been raised to an even higher standard. Our team of craftsmen have pushed the envelope of what’s possible to create the finest titanium race machine. Thin, swept seatstays deliver both enhanced comfort and wind-cheating aerodynamics. All the frame’s tubesets have been shaped with purpose, promising out-of-saddle sprint stiffness and responsive climbing acumen, all delivered at premium level with a geometry that delivers that perfect balance of handling, quickness, light weight and climbing punch.

The Litespeed Ultimate Disc frame adds the benefits of disc braking, making long descents and hard, late stopping no problem. The design also allows for greater frame clearance, permitting for the use of up to 30mm tires. When it comes to traction, control and speed, it simply doesn’t get any better.

And being a Litespeed, it delivers that signature titanium ride; stiff as you want, but over the long hours, comfortable as the material absorbs the buzz out of even the roughest chip-sealed roads. This is the best of the best in titanium.

Don’t see your dream build of the Ultimate among our offerings? Whether choosing standard frame decals or our complimentary, (and beautifully understated) etched finish upgrade, even a bespoke colored paint treatment to truly set your ride apart from all others, our team in Tennessee is ready to make your Ultimate Disc frame yours to the letter; the epitome of two-wheeled perfection.

The Ultimate Gravel is our pure all-around performer frame platform. On the roads, our 3AL/2.5V titanium downtube and seattube—teardropped for a touch of aero
advantage—deliver drivetrain stiffness at speed in the drops and up punchy climbs.

But when you transition onto the dirt, our deftly-engineered tubesets deliver the comfort and control that make titanium the ideal material for gravel bikes. The Ultimate Gravel’s swept titanium seatstays help deflect vertical impact on even the rockiest trails, while the entire frame’s inherent vibration-damping capabilities absorb high-frequency vibrations of washboard roads, leaving body fatigue in the dust as you power ahead late in a race.

With plenty of frame clearance in either 700c or 650B/27.5” wheel options and options for fender mounts, you can make the Ultimate Gravel frame whatever you choose; a machine ready for 200 hard miles of racing, a comfy weekend backcountry bikepacking ride, or anything in between. Just contact us to discuss how to make it truly yours. With the Ultimate Gravel, it just doesn’t get any better.

This is it: the dirt-worthy drop bar frame by which all others are measured; the Ultimate Gravel. Race-ready, and down to shred.
