Merida One-Forty 6000 - Grey

Bike radar / mbuk gave merida double honours crowning the one-sixty 6000 enduro bike of the year and the one-forty 700 trail bike of the year.Of the one-forty they said: it didnât take long to award the overall win to the merida one-forty 700, though. A trail bike has to climb with the best and descend as well as anything (on less rough tracks, at least), and the one-forty arguably does both better than any other bike here, while also offering excellent value for your hard-earned.Âwith a stunning new, all-carbon chassis the one-forty 6000 represents a leap forwards in what you should expect your trail bike to be capable of. Radical new geometry delivers the goods on the most technical climbs or the toughest descents, with sizing perfectly tuned to what the rider wants. The 29er wheels work in perfect harmony with our fast kinematic suspension with Fox shock and 150mm marzocchi fork.The new merida one-forty is the ultimate trail bike, made for the toughest trails in the world. Itâs the pinnacle of modern trail riding, with a super-steep 80â seat angle, low front end and bottom bracket allow it to clear the most technical climbs, while longer reach figures across all sizes and a well-balanced 65â head angle mean itâs still more than capable of ripping any descent. With merida's new agilometer sizing system, riders can run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, with suspension that becomes more progressive as you size up to better cope with heavier/harder riders. Merida's enginners have focussed on weight reduction and rolling speed too, for improved efficiency. All bikes come with long travel dropper posts, wire port cable routing and a reliable threaded bottom bracket plus carbon frame models have on-board tool storage and fidlock magnetic bottle cages
