£3300 – Merida One-sixty 700 29/27.5 Mountain Bike Mid (27.5 Rear Wheel) – Bronze

Description

The One-Sixty 700 gets all the cutting edge enduro performance of Merida’s radical new design but with a high-value and fully featured all-aluminium frame. That means hard-hitting modern geometry with the new FAST kinematic suspension that delivers a chaos taming ride alongside quality Marzocchi and Fox suspension. Shimano’s proven 12-speed Deore drivetrain means reliable shifts time after time while four-piston brakes make short work of keeping everything under control. The One-Sixty is a radical all-new design that pushes Merida’s hard-hitting enduro platform to new heights. Just as well because once it’s there it’s ready to rip the longest toughest descents too. FOX Float Performance shock with 170mm Marzocchi Z1 fork 1 x 12 Shimano drivetrain with Shimano XT multi-release lever and SLX rear mech and Race Face Aeffect chainset. Shimano SLX 4 pot hydraulic disc brakes and dropper post. Merida’s new suspension system uses a flexstay design with an adjustable rocker so whether you choose to run it as a full 29er 162mm travel or mixed 29/27.5” setup 171mm travel the geometry is preserved. There’s a radically steep 79° seat tube angle for goat-like climbing and slack 64° head angle plus 170mm fork to deal with downhill trail chaos. New sizing allows riders to run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height while suspension becomes more progressive as you size up all with long-travel dropper posts. Wire Port cable routing plus reliable threaded bottom bracket round out the package while carbon frame models offer on-board tool storage and FidLock magnetic bottle cages.
