Lochte, hindered by a groin injury suffered on the breaststroke leg in the morning heats, took the final out fast, hoping to build an insurmountable lead.
But Kalisz, 22-year-old training partner of Olympic superstar Michael Phelps, powered past the fast-fading Lochte on the breaststroke leg and held on over the finishing freestyle to win in 4min 09.54sec.
