The One-Sixty FR 800 is the hardcore cousin of the One-Sixty 6000, MBUK's Enduro Bike of the Year. The testers singled out the 6000's proportions, supportive suspension and electrifying ride feel on some of the gnarliest trails they rode, and called it totally planted, thoroughly sorted and outrageously capable.
Merida's designers took that prize-winning pedigree and turned the fun up to 11. Built for ripping bike parks, the One-Sixty FR runs mixed wheels across all sizes, with a 29" front and 27.5" rear, and delivers more travel: 180mm up front from a DVO Onyx 38 fork and 171mm of coil-sprung travel at the rear from a DVO Jade X shock with size-specific spring rates. These aren't garage queens, they're built for endless hours of sending it, with the budget spent on the best tyres, brakes and suspension rather than lightweight parts that won't last.
The One-Sixty FR is designed for the toughest conditions and is rated to Category 5. Merida's Agilometer sizing lets you choose your reach independently of your height, the suspension becomes more progressive as you size up, and every size gets a 30-230mm travel-adjustable dropper. TRP Trail Evo 4-piston brakes with 220mm and 203mm rotors, a DT Swiss F1900 wheelset, Continental Kryptotal tyres and a Shimano Deore 1x12 drivetrain complete the build.
