The LITHOS 4000 is our entry to our range of hard riding, race-ready enduro e-MTBs. Using the same lightweight carbon fibre frame as the top models, it balances compliance and technical terrain control for a truly sublime riding experience. We've kept the price low but not skimped on the components that matter, with a 120 Nm Bosch CX drive unit and lightweight 600 Wh battery, plus quality RockShox suspension components and tough, grippy Continental tyres on our very own tubeless-ready wheelset.
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.
