Merida Lithos 10K e-Mountain Bike with Bosch CX-R Motor & Advanced Suspension

The Merida Lithos 10K stands as a premier example of advanced e-MTB engineering, designed to meet the demands of serious mountain bikers who require both power and precision. Featuring a full carbon fibre frame, this model delivers exceptional agility and control, allowing riders to confidently tackle the most technical and challenging terrains. The thoughtfully engineered geometry optimises traction and stability, ensuring superior handling whether navigating tight switchbacks or steep descents.

Powered by the reliable Bosch CX-R drive unit paired with a high-capacity 800 Wh battery, the Lithos 10K provides the endurance necessary for extended mountain excursions and rigorous multi-stage competitions. Its sophisticated suspension system includes the Fox DHX Live Valve NEO rear shock, which dynamically adjusts damping based on riding conditions, and the inverted Fox Podium fork, offering smooth and responsive front suspension. This combination guarantees excellent performance across varied trail conditions, from aggressive downhill sections to demanding climbs.

Designed with versatility in mind, the Lithos 10K offers multiple configurations to suit different riding preferences and terrain types. Riders can choose between the standard 800 Wh battery for longer journeys or a lighter 600 Wh option for enhanced manoeuvrability. Additionally, wheel size options include a full 29” setup for maximum speed or a mixed 29/27.5” “mullet” configuration that improves handling on technical trails. Efficient cable management via the innovative WIRE PORT and semi-external routing ensures easy maintenance and a clean aesthetic. Explore the full range of e-MTBs from Merida to find the perfect fit for your riding style.
