Reliability, mellow geometry, light weight, an all-out fun machine ... the basis of design for the best hard tail ever built. Litespeed originally developed the Obed as the "poor man's titanium mountain bike". Things have changed over the years: trails have become more challenging, quality standards have risen, as have the demands of discriminating trail riders who want a high caliber machine. High Country or High Desert, nothing climbs and descends like the Obed. True to the new breed of Litespeed's off-road line, this hand-crafted beauty is dripping with innovative features.
Head tube is lathe cut, reinforced with stainless and precision machined.
Top tube uses a refined wall thickness for a precision specification.
