The Merida Lithos 8000 is engineered for serious riders who demand precision and performance on the most challenging trails. Its lightweight, full carbon fibre frame combined with 170 mm of suspension travel front and rear ensures exceptional control and comfort over technical terrain. Whether racing or exploring, the race-derived geometry delivers confident handling and superior traction, making each ride both thrilling and efficient.
Designed for versatility and adaptability, this e-mountain bike offers options to suit your riding style. Choose between a high-capacity 800 Wh battery for extended adventures or a lighter 600 Wh battery for enhanced agility. The innovative mullet setup combines a 29” front wheel with a 27.5” rear, balancing speed and maneuverability. Clean cable routing through the WIRE PORT or quick-access headtube ports keeps your bike sleek and functional.

This bike is your ideal partner for pushing limits on rough race tracks or conquering technical singletracks with confidence and style.
