The One-Sixty 500 brings Merida's radical, test- and award-winning geometry and suspension design to a tough all-aluminium frame, paired with components that deliver rock-solid performance and excellent value. That makes it a great choice for a first full-suspension enduro bike.
For the money, the spec is very hard to beat. A 170mm RockShox Domain Gold fork and Super Deluxe shock take the rough with the rougher, while Shimano Deore 4-piston brakes with 203mm rotors and a wide-range Deore 12-speed drivetrain are tough and consistent. Tough Continental Kryptotal tyres with soft compound and Enduro casing give plenty of grip and protection.
Smaller sizes (XShort to Mid) run a mixed setup with a 29" front and 27.5" rear, while Long and XLong run full 29" wheels, and a flip chip lets you switch between the two. Merida's Agilometer sizing lets you choose your reach by riding style, and every size gets a long-travel dropper from 150mm to 230mm.

- 170mm RockShox Domain Gold fork and Super Deluxe shock with 160mm travel

- Short: 155cm - 175cm

Merida encourages riders to consider their riding style when choosing a frame size. For example, a 175cm rider could choose a Short frame for agility, Mid for a balanced ride or Long for stability.
