The Lithos 8000 delivers the goods on technical trails and rough race tracks thanks to its lightweight, tough carbon fibre frame with 170 mm of travel and race-derived geometry. Designed to maximise grip and control on any terrain the sublime handling is paired with some of the best suspension components money can buy. This is the competitive privateers choice.
With a full carbon frame and 170?mm of travel at either end, it’s built for the toughest tracks, pushing hard with friends and racing against the clock. The handling has been engineered to help you carry speed, no matter what the gradient or ground. The geometry is made to maximise traction on flat turns and confidence on steep sections with a longer chainstay and higher stack, while travel-adjustable dropper posts and our AGILOMETER sizing mean you can fine-tune fit and handling.
For versatility you can run a lightweight 600 Wh battery (available separetely) for agile handling or the standard high-capacity 800 Wh for big days. You have the choice of running a full 29” setup for flat-out speed or the standard mixed 29/27.5” setup to retain plenty of agility. The options don't end there, you can route cables cleanly through the WIRE PORT or semi-externally via headtube ports if you need rapid access.
