Litespeed T1 SL Titanium Dual Routed Frameset : RIM

Season:2022

Brand:Litespeed

Code:LS.FR.T1SL.DI2CTTM

Litespeed had already found a winning formula in their “Ultimate” titanium road bike, finding the precise geometry that would be both aerodynamic as well comfortable enough to race on the longer days. 
Looking to progress from the Ultimate they found that the only significant improvement they could offer from the Ultimate was to reduce the weight of the frame without compromising all the things that made the Ultimate great in the first place. 
 
And so was born the Litespeed T1SL.
 
The T1SL has taken the crown as the lightest handmade production titanium frame on the market, allowing a bike build that will challenge all of the top carbon competitors out there. In fact one needs to remember that there is in fact a minimum bike weight when building on a frame of this pedigree. 
 
Litespeed don’t believe in compromise, they could have easily thrown together a flimsy ultralight frame devoid of all the characteristics that make the brand great in the first place. They continue to cold work all their titanium making sure the integrity and strength remain in tact, this labour intensive process sees titanium worked in an unheated state (as the name would imply) in order not to sacrifice the strength of the material itself. 
 
In order to get the weight of the frame down, Litespeed made the top-tube from a single piece of 6AL/4V titanium that is tapered in all the right places to both reduce weight and increase the stiffness as opposed to a more traditional round tube. 
Over and above the weight, the stiffness of the frame was vital if this were to be a top-end race machine, to this end we see oversized, triple butted and asymmetric chain stays coupled with a 44mm head tube that provides stiffness upfront. 
 
Lastly, the need to get every size bike to ride consistently well for their  respective riders, Litespeed utilised size-specific tubesets. Many other brands simply enlarge or shrink the dimensions of their one bike mould to make their various sizes, by using size-specific tubsets Litespeed prevents smaller bikes from being overly stiff and larger frames from being too flexible. 
 
In short, if you want a unique race machine with ZERO COMPROMISE, then the T1SL is the bike for you.

 

Litespeed, as with many other leading titanium brands offers a range of customisations to give the end user the perfect ride. 

The standard geometries work for most clients, for those few who need a custom geometry, Litespeed can do a fully customised build, however more often than not the use of their headtube spacers transforms the standard frames into a more relaxed position.

Over and above tweaks to the geometry the following options are available:

  • Frame and fork paint option 
  • T47 bottom bracket option
  • Mudguard mounts
  • Rack mounts 
  • Bosses for mechanical shifting 
  • Decal options on certain frames 

Check out the various frame options and see which suit you best and let us know if there are any add ons you would like.
