The Speeder 100 is a fast, lightweight flat-bar bike for daily commuting, leisure rides and weekend fitness riding. It pairs a hydroformed aluminium frame with a full carbon fork, a wide-range Shimano triple drivetrain and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.

The geometry is sporty but noticeably more upright than a conventional drop-bar road bike, so you get much of a road bike's efficiency with extra comfort. Merida uses the same triple-butted 6066 aluminium as on its road bikes, hydroformed to tune the frame for a comfortable, responsive ride, and the full carbon fork with tapered steerer adds precise steering and helps smooth out rough roads.

The upright position, flat bar and hydraulic disc brakes are well suited to riding in town, giving you good control and a clear view of the traffic around you. The frame takes tyres up to 35mm wide, or 32mm with mudguards, and has fixing points for mudguards and a rear rack, so it's easy to set up for year-round commuting.
