Interbike ODD ‘Hot Lap': Litespeed Sewanee

One of the oldest names in the titanium frame business, Litespeed, is showing off their 650b model frame at the ODD this year. The Sewanee is a full titanium, full suspension frame. Not only is the main triangle titanium, but so is the rear triangle and suspension linkage.

The ride is plush as would be expected with a single pivot frame. The handling is precise and at no time was there a fear of loosing traction. The positioning is a little more upright, and not such a racing position. It certainly wasn’t uncomfortable, just not as an aggressive of a feel as other bikes.

One of the most unique features is Litespeed sells this frame as “multi wheel” model. Run it with 26-inch wheels or 650b, the choice is yours.
