Lithos 8000 (2027)

Sky-high performance and a flaw-free spec. 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, we've paired this sublime handling with some of the best suspension components money can buy, namely the top-level RockShox Zeb fork and Vivid Ultimate shock. Adding in the legendary durability of a DT Swiss HX 1700 wheelset and the lightning fast shifts of the SRAM GX Eagle wireless drive, and this is the competitive privateer's or enduro enthusiast's choice.

• Lightweight Bosch CX-R drive unit with 120 Nm torque and 800 Wh removable battery

Even in the most imposing terrain, it is possible to find flow. Named after the Ancient Greek for rock or stone, the LITHOS is designed for serious enduro riders and racers, with a single-minded focus on speed, no matter what turn the trail takes.

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.

Because you need absolute faith in your setup for flat-out technical riding, we doubled down on versatility, durability and reliability when creating the LITHOS. That’s why we use the latest Bosch CX and CX Race drive units plus 600 and 800 Wh batteries, giving big-brand performance with proven worldwide sales support.

You can run a lightweight 600 Wh battery for agile handling or a high-capacity 800 Wh for the big days, plus it’s possible to route the cables cleanly through our WIRE PORT or semi-externally via headtube ports if you need rapid access. We also give 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, while both air and coil rear shocks will work perfectly.
