The Lightrider is an evergreen at Thömus, which has always kept up with the times in numerous evolutionary stages. Now the 2018 Lightrider is celebrating its premiere: with the use of high-strength and modular high-end carbon fibers, the fully frame is definitely a lightweight at 1.78 kg. 29-inch wheels combined with the low frame weight should give the Lightrider an enormous amount of propulsion. If you want to tease even more versatility out of the Berner Boliden, you can remove the 29er wheels and use 27.5" wheels.

To ensure sensitive response without bobbing, Thömus relies on the tried-and-tested four-bar kinematics. With 100 millimetres of suspension travel in the Race setup and 120 in the Tour setup, two different equipment variants are available. This means that the Lightrider can be set up as a racing machine for cross-country and marathon or as a trail bike with reserves for demanding tours.

"The new machine is a finely honed diamond. There is a remarkable 26 years of experience in this competitive top bike", is how CEO Thomas Binggeli characterizes his top seller. The new cockpit on the Lightrider is also particularly innovative, with a cleverly designed stem that accommodates all the cables in the frame. This technical and aesthetic innovation ensures an all-round tidy bike look and protects the cables from wear and tear and defects.
