Saber front lower than the Blade?

Triathlon Forum

I’ve been on Litespeed.com comparing the geometry of a Litespeed Saber and a Blade. They seem very similar, but I noticed on the 55cm the blade has a 14.7cm head tube and the saber has a 13.5cm head tube. Does this mean you can get lower on a saber than a blade? I would think that would be unlikely, but I’m not sure. I’m not really a big fan of a super low front anyway, just trying to learn a little about tri-geometry.

I do notice the standover height is a1cm higher on the saber as well.

Any thoughts?

I can’t offer any comparison, but I can tell you I love my Saber and I don’t get ridiculously low.

Hi there,
The scenrio is not completely impossible. The Blade has a very large aero downtube and thus I can see why it might be a bit taller. I will check with the office tomorrow and confirm.
Hope this finds you well.
