The One-Sixty FR 800 is all about full-on fun, built for endless hours of sending it rather than sitting in the garage looking pretty. Around a tough aluminium frame, the components are chosen to deliver the best tyres, brakes and suspension possible, rather than lightweight kit that won't last the course.
The One-Sixty FR is designed for the toughest conditions, rated to Category 5 and backed by a 5-year frame warranty. The 800 gets top-level RockShox suspension, with a 180mm Zeb Ultimate fork and a Vivid Coil shock supplied with a size-specific spring rate, while powerful SRAM Maven 4-piston brakes with 220mm and 200mm rotors give huge, controllable stopping power. A flip chip lets you run it as a mullet, with a 29" front and 27.5" rear, or switch to full 29".
Merida's Agilometer sizing takes your riding style into account, so you can choose a longer or shorter reach independently of your height, and the suspension becomes more progressive as you size up. Every size gets a long-travel adjustable dropper, and Wire Port cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket, a DT Swiss F 1900 wheelset, Continental Kryptotal tyres and a Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain round out a seriously capable package.
