A new bike. A new era. The legendary ride continues. The bike Litespeed has been waiting to create for over 21 years, a bike possessing technologies born from relationships with NASA, pro cyclists, and the most discriminating enthusiasts. We have developed and brought together a series of tubes never before seen in a titanium bike. A refined, new titanium development designed to offer a balance of strength, durability, handling, acceleration and performance never seen before in a Titanium or Litespeed product. • 3Al-2.5V Seat Stays Wide, oval cross sectioned seat stays provide wonderful vertical compliance while better resisting lateral loads yielding an enhanced drive-train efficiency. • Chain-Stays 3Al-2.5V Asymmetric Double Butted chain-stay. Bi-planar BB/CS junction multi cross section V-bend fabrication. Provides a wealth of tire and heel clearance while maintaining excellent component compatibility. Drive-train efficiency is beyond reproach. The most contemporary component compatibility with a unique look and performance. • Down Tube/BB Junction 3Al-2.5V seat tube ovalizes and wraps the bottom bracket (beneath the surface of the down tube) This Provides added weld surface area, incredible power transfer and is compatible with all 35mm front derailleurs. • Head Tube/Top Tube Junction New proprietary "Wrap" Technology. 3Al-2.5V Double Butted Head Tube Provides head tube stiffness never before experienced with titanium. I am extremely serious about creating a bike from a blank piece of paper. My bike designs are no cut & Paste development. Every tube on the Archon is new, never before used and specified to the standards that when combined create a frame truly like no other. I feel a well designed and crafted bicycle is much like a fine quality musical instrument. Over or under tuning only makes the music less enjoyable, "The Archon" hits the note perfectly." Brad DeVaney, LITESPEED “…the Archon delivers in a manner lacking in too many ti frames. You get immediate throttle response, intuitive reaction to rider input in a 30-plus mph turns with no tail wagging and, dare we say it, ride quality akin to what we’ve experienced from some high-end carbon bikes.” Bicycling Magazine
