The Merida Lithos 10K sits at the top of Merida's e-MTB range, bringing together race-focused handling, advanced suspension technology and Bosch's latest high-performance drive system. Designed for riders who prioritise carrying speed through technical terrain, it delivers a highly refined package for demanding enduro riding and aggressive trail adventures.
At its core is the Lithos CF I carbon frame, developed around Merida's focus on momentum, efficiency and control. The lightweight carbon construction helps reduce overall weight while maintaining the stiffness required for precise handling and efficient power transfer. With 160mm of rear wheel travel and geometry designed for modern enduro riding, the bike is built to remain composed when trails become steep, rough and technical.
Suspension performance is a standout feature. Up front, the Fox Podium Factory fork delivers 170mm of travel and extensive adjustability, allowing riders to fine-tune performance for varying trail conditions. At the rear, the Fox Float X Factory Live Valve Neo shock brings electronically controlled suspension technology to automatically adapt damping in real time. The result is a suspension system that balances support, traction and responsiveness as terrain changes throughout the ride.
The Bosch Performance Line CX-R motor provides powerful assistance for steep climbs and technical terrain. Combined with the large-capacity Bosch PowerTube 800Wh battery, the system offers the range needed for big mountain days and extended trail rides. The Bosch Kiox 400C display is neatly integrated into the top tube, providing ride information while maintaining a clean cockpit layout.
Transmission duties are handled by SRAM's premium X0 Eagle Transmission AXS drivetrain. The wireless 12-speed system is engineered to deliver precise shifting performance under load, making it particularly well suited to the demands of modern e-MTB riding. A wide-range 10-51T cassette ensures there's gearing available for everything from steep technical climbs to fast descending sections.
The DT Swiss HXC 1500 carbon wheelset combines strength, low weight and responsiveness. The mullet wheel configuration pairs a 29-inch front wheel with a 27.5-inch rear wheel, blending confident rollover performance with agile handling. Continental Kryptotal tyres front and rear are designed specifically for aggressive trail and enduro riding, with soft compound rubber and robust casings delivering grip and durability across varied conditions.
Stopping power comes from SRAM Maven Ultimate four-piston brakes, paired with a 220mm front rotor and 200mm rear rotor. This powerful braking setup provides excellent control and consistency on long descents and technical terrain.
Additional premium details include the Merida Team TR II dropper post, Race Face Era carbon handlebar, Proxim Altius saddle with integrated mini tool and Acros integrated headset system. Together, these components complete a build that is focused on delivering speed, control and confidence when the trails demand your full attention.
For riders looking for a high-performance e-MTB capable of maintaining momentum across challenging terrain, the Merida Lithos 10K offers an advanced combination of carbon construction, intelligent suspension and Bosch-powered assistance.

* Mountain bikes are sized differently to road bikes. Typically, they are sized in inches as the first MTBs were produced in the USA. European brands like Lapierre and Haibike like to use centimeters for all their bikes. The measurements of their mountain bikes doesn’t match their road bikes but is like a simple conversion from the inches measurement. This is why we have included cm measurements in brackets for the e mountain bike column.
