The One-Sixty 700 gets all the cutting-edge enduro performance of Merida's radical One-Sixty design in a great-value, fully featured aluminium frame. Hard-hitting modern geometry and FAST suspension kinematics deliver a chaos-taming ride, backed by quality Marzocchi and Fox suspension.

The flexstay suspension design uses an adjustable rocker, so whether you run it as a full 29er (162mm travel) or with mixed 29"/27.5" wheels (171mm travel), the geometry is preserved. A radically steep 79° seat angle gives goat-like climbing, while a slack 64° head angle and 170mm Marzocchi Z1 fork deal with downhill chaos, and a Fox Float X Performance shock keeps the rear end composed.

Merida's Agilometer sizing lets you choose a longer or shorter reach independently of your height, the suspension becomes more progressive as you size up, and every size gets a long-travel dropper. A Shimano 12-speed drivetrain gives reliable shifts time after time, Shimano SLX 4-piston brakes with 203mm rotors keep everything under control, and Wire Port cable routing and a threaded bottom bracket round out the package.
