Press Release: Litespeed debuts new Flint Titanium Gravel Bike

“As we achieved with our recently debuted Arenberg road model, we wanted to provide gravel riders the titanium ride quality, technology and performance that Litespeed is known for, within an economical price point that can’t be touched, all fabricated at our factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In its base build, the Flint starts at $3,395 complete with Shimano GRX 600 components.” – Litespeed

The Flint has all the requisites:

• A full 3AL/2.5V frame with frame size-specific tubesets that are all wall-thickness controlled in-house for consistency and feature zero aluminum inserts
• In-house designed and CNC-machined titanium dropouts, disc brake mount, headtube and bottom bracket for optimized strength-to-weight
• Tire clearance to 48mm 
• A dropped driveside chainstay for improved chainring and tire clearance
• A UDH rear derailleur hanger 
• Bosses for three bottles (downtube, seattube and downtube underside)
• Geometry with a slightly elongated wheelbase and adjusted stack/reach measure that deliver stability and performance to riders from weekend trail riders to competitive gravel riders
• Boundless options for upgrades, from components and bottom bracket standard to vinyl graphic, etching or color anodizing
• Flint marks the debut of the new Chameleon blue/green fade color anodizing upgrade option
• Fast lead time, shipping two to three weeks from date of order

“The Flint features 3AL/2.5V titanium, fabricated at our factory in Chattanooga, Tenn. With a clean braceless seatstay design for full mud-shedding clearance, super clean cable routing, tons of tire clearance for sure footing, and more, take it all on—no matter the trail. From fast, groomed gravel races to forests or desert singletrack sessions with friends, you can climb and sprint with pure energy.”

“Massive tire clearance variance gives you ample choice: select from low-volume file tread for speed, or knobby high-volume tires up to 48mm when faced with loose rock, deep sand, or tacky mud. Add loads of accessory options from rack mounts to nutrition and extra hydration/storage mounts, and you’re fully packed for your wildest long adventures. Stable without sacrificing agility, the Flint moves with ease where you want—when you want.”

“And as always, Litespeed is titanium tough, dialed to tackle everything you throw at it. Mud, sand, rocks—all batted away with ease. With six sizes plus custom options, as well as your choice of crank length, bar width, and stem length, your perfect fit is assured.”

“The Flint also has all the style. Select from a wide array of vinyl graphics or consider etched graphic or TiDize color anodizing upgrade choices. The choice is yours.”
