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.
