ah:wi (SRAM XX1)
Think of ah:wi as a more functional, more metallic Bambi. Named for the Cherokee word for "deer," this bike loves the winding trails between the trees. Thanks to size-specific titanium tubing, the ah:wi has a lower weight, increased stiffness, and handles like a dream. SRAM supplies their acclaimed XX1 1x11 mechanical drivetrain to give you the power to handle loose ascents and tricky downhills, and SRAM Guide RS hydraulic discs have the modulation and stopping power to bring the Stan's tubeless wheels to a swift halt. Ritchey's WCS seatpost and handlebars are lightweight and add stiffness to your rig, while Selle Italia's Italia SLS Carbonio saddle provides sleek support for miles and miles.
No, ah:wi is not a type of tuna that is delicious when seared; it's the Cherokee term for deer, and it's the name of this fast and nimble bike from Litespeed! Litespeed used size-specific 3Al/2.5V titanium tubes and finished with their 6Al/4V variable tapered top tube so that you get the best of the best in terms of stiffness, weight, and performance on the trail. The ah:wi is also multi-wheel compatible; while the frame is optimized for 27.5-wheels, the concentric bottom bracket makes it possible to run 26-inch wheels as well. The 27.5-inch XT wheels are race-ready and roll nimbly over obstacles, and Hutchinson Python tubeless tires have a tacky grip for traction through the corners. You’ll tame hills with the 1 x 11-speed XT drivetrain from Shimano that’s perfect for technical climbs and those hair-raising descents. Ritchey's lightweight stem and seatpost complement this high performance machine, and a Selle Italia saddle is the ultimate in long-range support.
ah:wi is the Cherokee term for deer. Though that could invoke images of smoked venison or graceful speed through a forest, the latter is certainly what Litespeed had in mind when they named this hardtail. Litespeed employed size-specific 3Al/2.5V titanium tubes and finished with their 6Al/4V variable tapered top tube. The top tube is created from a single sheet of 6Al/4V titanium to make a unique multi-faceted tapered tube that reduces weight and increases stiffness. The ah:wi is also multi-wheel compatible; while it’s optimized for 27.5-wheels, its concentric bottom bracket makes it possible to run 26-inch wheels as well. The 27.5-inch XTR wheels that come stock roll roll like a dream over obstacles, and the Hutchinson Python tubeless tires grip like nobody's business. Shimano's adored 1 x 11-speed XTR groupset offers effortless shifting and the gear range you need to make quick work of technical climbs and wild descents. Shimano's XTR Race hydraulic brakes set the bar in excellent braking power and modulation, and you'll feel the confidence they provide as you feather the levers with a single finger.
Titanium bikes are as much an art as a science. Litespeed's brilliant ah:wi showcases that well. You'll conquer a variety of terrain choices with equal speed and panache thanks to size-specific titanium tubing, and intricate shaping designed to provide the best performance metal can give. Shimano provides the revered XTR groupset for a 2 X 11 experience that will make you weep with trail-chewing joy. XTR Race discs roll on the power smoothly every time, and though the ah:wi gives you the choice between 27.5 or 26-inch wheels, this model comes ready to shred with 27.5-inch XTR rims wrapped in Hutchinson tubeless tires. Cap it off with a enviable array of contact points from Ritchey and you've got an adventurous beast that blends all the best qualities of art and science.
