About this product
The Litespeed Watia is a 2021 model gravel bike, custom-built with a lightweight titanium frame. It features 700C wheels, capable of accommodating tires up to 45C, and a silver finish. This bike is equipped with a Sram Force XPLR 12-speed drivetrain, utilizing Sram AXS 12V gear change mechanism for precise shifting. Braking is handled by hydraulic disc brakes, ensuring reliable stopping power. Designed as a versatile drop-bar gravel bike with no suspension, it weighs 21 lbs.
Our take
This Litespeed Watia titanium gravel bike offers a compelling package for riders looking to tackle varied terrain. The titanium frame certainly delivers on its lightweight promise at 21 lbs, which is a huge plus for climbing and overall handling. The Sram Force XPLR 12-speed setup with AXS is a modern and reliable choice, providing smooth electronic shifting across its range. I appreciate the hydraulic disc brakes for their consistent performance, especially in unpredictable gravel conditions. However, the lack of suspension means you'll feel more of the road, which is a common trade-off for gravel bikes designed for speed and responsiveness rather than maximum comfort on very rough trails.
