Drawing on their 30 years of experience with another space-age material, Litespeed focused their genius on high-modulus carbon and created the amazing Archon C3. This featherweight road rocket dances up the climbs, sticks the corners and sprints with authority thanks to the stout carbon construction with an aero down tube, tapered head tube, asymmetrical chainstays, an aero seatpost and a BB30 bottom bracket. Meanwhile, the smaller diameter seatstays and thinner top tube provide compliance for comfort on those epic rides. The build is first-rate too, with Shimano Ultegra gearing and wheels, plus a whole host of FSA goodies including the crankset, bar and stem. Plus, you also get a comfy Fizik seat.
Another chapter in Litespeed's celebrated, 30-year history: Their Archon C2 now takes carbon engineering to the next level. This sleek pavement pounder is built with Super High-Modulus M40 Carbon for stunningly efficient stiffness at super light weight. Almost every carbon frame these days is stiff and light. What sets the Archon apart is its details. It's got a tapered head tube and fork for front-end stiffness, asymmetrical chainstays for rear-end efficiency and a huge down tube with a BB30 bottom bracket to max your pedal power. But what about that 6-hour ride? See how the top tube gracefully tapers to the seatstays? That equals vertical compliance and, combined with carbon's inherent vibration damping, it means your Archon is velvety smooth, too. And every mile will fly by with the top spec, like the Shimano Dura-Ace components, carbon FSA crankset and aero FSA wheels.

The Archon is the bike Litespeed has been waiting to create for over 21 years. Born from relationships with NASA and pro cyclists, Litespeed has developed and put together a series of tubes that balance the legendary strength and durability of titanium with stiffness, handling and acceleration never seen before in a titanium product. Litespeed's asymmetrical chainstays and an ovalized seat tube that wraps the bottom bracket provide added weld surface area, stiffness and incredible power transfer. And, this sweet ride boasts a Shimano Dura-Ace kit that matches its thoroughbred roots. Ditto for the Fulcrum Racing wheels, Chris King headset and Ritchey WCS controls.
