This design minimizes side-loading and premature wear, providing a balance between pedaling efficiency and control on rough descents. The bike’s suspension is tailored for enduro racing, with 170mm of travel at the front and 174mm at the rear, ensuring stability and responsiveness. (bike-magazin.de<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Geometry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merida has optimized the Lithos’ geometry for enduro racing, incorporating a slack 64\u00b0 head tube angle and a steep 78.5\u00b0 seat tube angle. The longer chainstays (447mm) contribute to a more centered balance, enhancing control and confidence on technical trails. This geometry is consistent across all frame sizes, from XShort to XLong, accommodating a wide range of riders. (bike-magazin.de<\/a>)<\/p>\n
