Eurobike preview: new generation Liteville 601

The "601 MK2" awaits its trail use with the revised second generation. In addition to the newly fixed 190 millimetres of rear suspension travel - which is released by a Rock Shoxs "Vivid Air" - the German bike manufacturer has even more gadgets in its quiver.

In keeping with the times, a "Reverb Stealth" is now installed in the seat tube. The adjustable slider for the suspension strut attachment on the down tube is also included. Thanks to this gadget, the bottom bracket height and steering angle can be adjusted according to preference. Liteville now also offers a retrofit kit with bearing shells that make it possible to adjust the steering angle in the head tube. The adjustment range extends from + 1.5 to - 1.5 degrees.

Future-oriented variability
Thanks to various bearing shells, Liteville also offers the option of fitting a 650B wheel at the front of the "601 MK2". As fork manufacturers do not yet offer much more than 160 millimetres of travel, the steeper angle has to be compensated for by the lower installation height. Liteville itself has tried out this specification variant and, according to its own statements, was delighted with it. Future-oriented, we say.
