BB Question

I'm looking at a bike and it's speced as having:
  • Bottom bracket
    • Token Ninja Lite BB4124 PF86.5
    • Thread-Fit Technology reduces chances of bearing misalignment. BB86 Road standard, compatible with 24 mm axles. Weight: 83
A bit confused... looks like it has a press-bit Ninja Lite, yet it talks about the Thread-Fit Which one is it haha. Or does it mean that the frame is compatible to use both: PF86 or the threaded BB86? Cheers.

Lot's of marketing terms there. Can you communicate with the manufacturer or brand? Andy

The two halves thread together to pull the bearings into the shell. No threads in the shell.
