On the final day of EUROBIKE we were stoked to discover two brand new super-hot bikes for 2016 at the stand from Liteville: the versatile hardtail Liteville H3 and the incredibly powerful fully, the 101.

Liteville H3 Hardtail

Nach einer längeren Pause gibt Liteville auch im Hardtail-Segment wieder Gas und präsentiert das neue H3 das sowohl mit Plus- als auch mit "normalen" Laufrädern genutzt werden kann.
After a long absence, Liteville are tackling the hardtail segment once more and have duly launched the H3, which can ride on plus-size or regular wheels.

It might not seem that new as Liteville haven’t made any huge changes to the name with the launch of this brand new bike – with H representing Hardtail, and 3 standing for its intended use. The 3 broadly incorporates the same intended usage as the well-known 301 model. The Liteville H3 should prove a masterclass in touring and trail riding, and as is Liteville’s typical style, it comes with various wheel sizes depending on the frame size. The frame sizes Medium-XL are designed for 27.5″, but thanks to the Boost standard they can also take up to 3.0″ wide tyres. The frame is compatible with both 1x and 2x drivetrains, features internally routed cables and has clearance for forks with up to 160 mm travel. The bike is expected to be available from spring 2016, with more detailed information and prices on the Liteville website from October.

Liteville 101 Marathon/Trail bike

Another brand new entry to Liteville’s collection is the Liteville 101, which has inherited the name of the former hardtail due to restructuring in the company’s christening process. The lightweight 120mm-travel bike has been designed to be a quick and lightweight marathon and trail bike. With numerous characteristics from Liteville such as the so-called scaled sizing geometry including the Duo-Link that enables you to alter the wheel size, needle bearings that you can grease from the outside, Liteville’s own SCS chainguide and the Rock Guard rear derailleur cover. Ranging from S to XL, the bike will come in four wheel sizes. Available from spring 2016, the final price has not yet been announced but it is due to be revealed in October along with further details on the Liteville homepage.
