ROAD Magazine Reviews the Archon C2

The Profile Bike for ROAD Magazine's July 2010 issue is the Litespeed Archon C2. Enjoy insight into the two year time of development, as well as description of the ride quality and cool, aero look. Gotta love the bottom line of article, "The Archon C2 and its aero slickness coupled with the reasonable price tag turns out to be a highly competitive machine suitable for any type of rider." Well-said, ROAD Magazine.

Check it out! Jason M's Litespeed Archon

Check out Jason M’s new ride, the Litespeed Archon! The Archon-the original, ultra-elite, high-performance, handmade titanium frame-does double duty as both a race and training bike. Jason clearly recognizes the importance of looking good doing both!

Jason praises the Archon for its stiffness while still maintaining its supple, characteristic titanium ride. The great looks of the bike are apparent at first glance.

Jason’s Archon is outfitted with Campagnolo Super Record 11, Thompson stem and seatpost, Adamo seat, and a Zipp 404 Clydesdale wheel set.

This is Jason’s first Litespeed, though he says it will not be his last!

Thanks to Mark Miller at Precision Bikes for superb service and advice for Jason.

Road Bike Action Reviews the Litespeed Archon C3

Check out the great photos and review for the Litespeed Archon C3 which appear in the June 2010 issue of Road Bike Action. Expect to read things like “The C3 really shined on descents, and when we pointed it in a direction, it tracked a line without a hitch. It was stable enough when out of the saddle sprints became necessary, and most test riders found it to be comfortable on long rides..."

Litespeed-BMW Cycling Racers Praise the Archon C1

The Litespeed-BMW Cycling team based in Atlanta is riding and racing the all-new Archon C1 in 2010. Initially, Litespeed sought evaluations from the team for suggestions on improving the design, ride-ability, looks, etc of the Archon C1. So, big and small, sprinter and climber, Cat 1 and Cat 5, we got all the racers' opinions.

A couple of months have passed for some of the guys, and the rave reviews are still coming. In addition to hearing the comments of racers on competitors' bikes about the eye-catching graphics (let's call it Pack Envy), the C1 is performing as well as it looks.

After a weekend of racing in Alabama, racer Christian Leask states, "One thing we can say for sure is that there is nothing on the market right now that rails a criterium corner like the LITESPEED Archon C1, and just the same, nothing the can handle a full-on uphill sprint like that bike can. Simply amazing."

Another racer praises the C1 after a grueling 6 hour ride at the Cheaha Challenge, saying, "This bike breaks all the rules. I don't know if it's better at racing or touring, or just the best at both!"

Thanks, guys. Well-said.

Litespeed Carbon on the Pacific Coast Highway

The photo is taken along California's stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), just outside of Solana Beach. On any sunny Saturday in Southern California, over 1000 bikes per hour will pass a given point along a scenic stretch of road just like this. This stretch of the PCH is just one of the many beautiful miles of road which extends from Alaska to Chile.

Pictured are the 2010 Litespeed Archon C1 and Archon C2, courtesy of California Bicycles in La Jolla. California Bicycles is currently the top seller of Litespeed Carbon in the U.S. and are knowledgeable about the Aerologic features of Litespeeds aero road bikes. So, head over to California Bicycles to check out their Litespeed Carbon bicycles. Expect excellent service and advice about "all things bike" in a beautiful store.

Thanks to Kevin and Jason for supplying the bikes - only the best when in So. Cal! For more information about California Bicycles, please see their website at www.calbike.com

Litespeed-BMW Cycling Team

Litespeed continues as a primary sponsor for the new Litespeed-BMW Cycling team, an elite amateur road team based out of Atlanta, GA for 2010. Formerly Pacesetter Steel Presented by Litespeed in 2009, Litespeed has sponsored the team since 2004.

The elite team is comprised of 17 Category 1 and 2 racers residing across the Southeastern U.S in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. A 9 member developmental squad, primarily Category 3 racers, ensures that the winning ways of Litespeed-BMW Cycling will continue into the future.

The team will be riding the all-new Litespeed Archon C1, one of three models in a new series of aero carbon fiber road bicycles. The Archon C1 is the premier model for the line, available only as a frameset, and features unidirectional carbon fiber and internal cable routing.

Interestingly, for Litespeed-BMW racers, bicycle racing is not their primary career. All have full time jobs in a variety of fields-a couple racers work at Litespeed.

Catch Litespeed-BMW Cycling team racing each weekend in the Southeast, as well as choice national racing calendar, or NRC, events, like Athens Twilight and the exclusive, invitation-only Tour of Jamaica.
