MERIDA LITHOS: The New Benchmark for Enduro e‑MTB Flow

The embargo has lifted, and the new MERIDA LITHOS is finally out in the wild. This is MERIDA’s all‑new carbon enduro e‑MTB built around Bosch power, big travel, and a frame designed to stay calm when the trail isn’t.

If you ride steep, rough, technical terrain - or you want a bike that makes those trails feel smoother, faster, and more controlled - the LITHOS is the one everyone will be talking about.

A bike built for unstoppable flow

The LITHOS has one purpose: deliver confidence and speed on terrain that usually fights back. MERIDA built it around a CF3 carbon frame, 170 mm travel, and their proven flex‑stay suspension, a combination that gives the bike a planted, predictable feel without dulling the fun.

This is the kind of bike you take to trails that normally push back. The LITHOS pushes harder.

Geometry that works with you, not against you

MERIDA reshaped the LITHOS around stability, control, and rider confidence. The new geometry keeps the bike composed on steep chutes, loose corners, and high‑speed rock gardens, while still feeling lively when you want to change direction.

It’s the balance every enduro e‑MTB chases, the LITHOS just nails it.

Mixed wheels, full 29, your choice

Versatility is baked into the frame:

• Mixed wheel setup (29” front / 27.5” rear) for agility
• Full 29 compatibility using MERIDA’s long‑running FLIP CHIP
• Coil or air shock ready thanks to kinematics that support both

You can tune the LITHOS to your riding style without messing up the geometry.

Bosch power, proven everywhere

MERIDA chose Bosch for one reason: reliability backed by a global support network.

The LITHOS runs:

• CX or lightweight CX‑R drive units
• Up to 120 Nm torque
• 800 Wh or 600 Wh batteries depending on whether you want maximum range or reduced weight

It’s a system known for smooth power delivery, long‑term durability, and service support wherever you ride.

Built to last - Properly

MERIDA didn’t just build the LITHOS to ride hard. They built it to survive it.

• Lifetime frame warranty for the original owner
• Category 4 rating for enduro use
• Rubber protection on both sides of the chainstay and heel areas
• Protective film in high‑wear zones
• Two cable routing options - WIRE PORT internal or semi‑external, with all conversion parts included

It’s a bike designed to stay quiet, stay clean, and stay alive through seasons of real riding.

Why riders will want it

The LITHOS hits the sweet spot for riders who want:

• A carbon enduro e‑MTB that feels stable at speed
• A Bosch‑powered platform with serious torque
• A frame that can be tuned for mixed or full‑29 setups
• A suspension layout that works on rough, steep terrain
• A bike that’s tough enough for daily enduro use

It’s the kind of bike that makes hard trails feel smoother and fast trails feel faster.
