Litespeed releases “the world’s lightest titanium road bike”
Mar 11, 2025
Litespeed has released what it calls “the world’s lightest titanium road bike”, the Coll dels Reis’s frame coming in at as little as a claimed 948g in a size medium.
That’s not going to challenge the lightest carbon-fibre road bikes on the scales, of course, but it’s incredibly light for a titanium bike.
The Coll dels Reis, named after the famous climb in Majorca (you might know it as ‘Sa Calobra’), is built from custom-formed 3AL/2.5V titanium tubing and customisation will have a bearing on final frame weight. It’ll range from 948g to 1,049 grams in size medium, according to Litespeed.
For comparison, Litespeed gives the frame weight of its existing Spezia as 1,120g (size medium) and a Moots Vamoots CRD as 1,400g (56cm).
Litespeed sees the Coll dels Reis as a purpose-built climbing bike, not surprisingly, and the suggested rider weight limit is 85kg - that’s 187lb or – quick maths – 13st 5lb.
Coll dels Reis comes with clearance for 35mm tyres, disc brake mounts, and fully internal cable routing as standard. You can go for a BSA or T47i threaded bottom bracket, a UDH (universal derailleur hanger) or proprietary lightweight dropout, and a graphical or machined titanium head badge. Titanium small parts, like the dropouts, bosses and guides, are CNC-machined in-house.
“To bring out the material’s full potential, every tube is precisely tuned through a combination of internal and external diameter control, butting, bending, shaping and careful mitring,” says Litespeed. “The Coll dels Reis hits the most ambitious weight, durability, and stiffness targets of any titanium bike, each tube tuned to specific frame sizes.”
