Calling the Flint “the sharpest blade in your quiver”, Litespeed says this bike is ready for anything. Whether riding off-road with buddies, race adventures, or bikebacking the Flint is a versatile bike offered in a very economical package.
Featuring a full 3AL/2.5V frame, the Flint is fabricated in their facility in Tennessee. It sports elegant, braceless seat stays allowing for full mud-shedding clearance, clean cable routing, and tire clearance for up to a 48mm tire.
The Frame is also equipped with all of the mounts you might need, for fenders, nutrition, racks, and hydration/storage. Litespeed says that no matter how you pack it down, the Flint stays “stable without sacrificing agility, and moves with ease where you want – when you want”.
