The Merida Lithos 6000 is built around the same flagship platform as the top-tier Lithos models, offering a blend of carbon frame performance, modern Bosch drive technology and enduro-focused capability. Designed to carry momentum through technical terrain, it is equally at home on challenging trail rides, demanding descents and long days in the mountains.
At the centre of the bike is the Lithos CF I carbon frame, delivering 160mm of rear wheel travel through a platform developed to maximise speed and control across varied terrain. The lightweight carbon construction helps reduce overall weight while maintaining the stiffness required for precise handling and efficient power transfer. Merida's geometry and suspension kinematics are tuned to provide stability at speed while remaining responsive when navigating technical trail features.
The suspension package is built around proven RockShox components. Up front, the ZEB Select eMTB fork delivers 170mm of travel with the stiffness and support needed for aggressive riding. At the rear, the RockShox Vivid Base shock offers excellent composure and control on rough descents, helping the bike stay planted when the trail becomes more demanding.
Bosch's Performance Line CX motor provides reliable and powerful assistance for steep climbs and technical terrain. Paired with the large-capacity 800Wh PowerTube battery, it offers the range needed for extended rides and significant elevation gain. The integrated Bosch Kiox 400C display keeps key ride information easily accessible while maintaining the bike's clean appearance.
Shifting duties are handled by SRAM's Eagle 70 Transmission drivetrain. The 12-speed setup uses the latest T-Type architecture for robust shifting performance and drivetrain durability. Combined with the wide-range 10-52T cassette, it provides gearing suitable for everything from steep climbs to fast, flowing descents.
The Reynolds 309 Enduro Comp wheelset uses a mullet configuration with a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel. This setup combines confident rollover capability at the front with agile handling at the rear. Continental Kryptotal tyres feature Enduro casings and soft rubber compounds to deliver dependable grip and durability across loose, rocky and technical terrain.
Braking is handled by SRAM DB6 Stealth four-piston hydraulic disc brakes with oversized 220mm front and 200mm rear rotors. This setup provides strong and consistent stopping performance when tackling steep descents and demanding trail conditions.
Additional trail-ready features include a long-travel Merida Expert TR II dropper post, Merida Expert eTR cockpit, Acros integrated headset with Blocklock protection and a Merida Comp SL saddle supplied with an integrated mini tool.
For riders looking for a carbon e-MTB that combines long-travel capability, Bosch assistance and modern trail geometry, the Merida Lithos 6000 offers a well-rounded package designed to help maintain speed, control and confidence across challenging terrain.

* 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.
