LT 450 Frame
The new LT 450 Titanium Mountain Bike Frame is built for riders who thrive when the trail gets rough, the descents get steeper, and the adventure pushes beyond the ordinary.
Designed around a 140mm travel fork, the LT 450 pairs aggressive, confidence-inspiring geometry with the natural strength and ride quality of titanium to deliver a mountain bike that feels right at home on demanding technical terrain. Featuring our signature Helix twisted down tube and diamond-shaped top tube, the frame is engineered to maximize stiffness, enhance power transfer, and provide the responsive handling needed to tackle challenging climbs and charge confidently into the descents.
Its slacker geometry creates a planted, controlled feel when navigating steep pitches, rocky sections, and fast-moving trail features, giving you the confidence to push harder when the trail points downhill. Adding even more versatility, adjustable sliding dropouts allow the LT 450 to accommodate a wide range of modern drivetrain and gearing configurations, including the option to build it as a single-speed. Strong, capable, and incredibly adaptable, the LT 450 brings together aggressive modern trail performance and timeless titanium craftsmanship for riders who want to go further, ride harder, and never back down from the trail ahead.
