Description
Merida's expertise for over 50 years has been building bombproof aluminium hardtails. The latest generation follows modern mountain bike trends - a longer reach combined with a shorter stem. The geometry features a steeper seat angle and slacker head angle for greater off-road capability but without compromising everyday usability.
The sophisticated TFS frames feature: full internal cable routing for a clean, neat set up, tapered headtube offering future upgrade potential inboard disc brake mounts protect the brake and maximise stopping power dropper post ready.
