Merida’s radical new lightweight enduro carbon frame paired with kit that delivers the punch without the price tag. It’s a race-ready ripper that’ll take any big mountain trail or bike park in its stride. Merida’s new suspension system uses a flexstay design with an adjustable rocker. New sizing split offers up a mullet 29/27.5” wheel setup for sizes XS/S/M while sizes L & XL roll on 29ers to better cater to different rider heights. There’s also a radically steep 79° seat tube angle for goat-like climbing and slack 64° head angle for a more stable ride on high-speed descents. Spec’d with a Rock Shox Zeb Select 170mm fork and Rock Shox Super Deluxe Select shock. The wide range Shimano SLX 12 speed drivetrain gives you the get up and go you need, while the matching 4 piston hydraulic disc brakes being the hammer down. Rounding off the build is a long travel internally routed dropper post, on-board tool storage and FidLock bottle cage.
