The green monster polarises, at least as far as looks are concerned. However, there is virtually nothing to criticise about the overall package that the guys from Allgäu have put together for the enduro race on Lake Garda. Well, the 74 mm handlebars could be a little wider for enduro use and the grips perhaps a tad thinner, but even so, the Liteville passed the demanding rock tests with flying colours. The unusual combination of 27.5-inch front and 26-inch rear wheels on wide Syntace rims and fat Schwalbe prototype tyres with a soft adhesive compound provide reserves in rough terrain. Although it rolls more slowly, there is no need to rush uphill. In addition to the smooth steering angle and the long wheelbase, the Reverb, which can be lowered by a whopping 150 millimetres, provides a further advantage on steep sections. To keep the weight at a slim 12.4 kilos, an expensive Clavicula carbon crank with XX1 chainring is used. We had to turn the stem for more pressure on the front wheel.
Conclusion: solid yet lightweight bike for rough tracks. Liteville delivers the most coherent concept for the Enduro competition on Lake Garda.
