Merida’s radical new lightweight enduro carbon frame paired with kit that delivers the punch without the price tag. It’s a race-ready ripper that’ll take any big mountain trail or bike park in its stride. Merida’s new suspension system uses a flexstay design with an adjustable rocker. New sizing split offers up a mullet 29/27.5” wheel setup for sizes XS/S/M while sizes L & XL roll on 29ers to better cater to different rider heights. There’s also a radically steep 79° seat tube angle for goat-like climbing and slack 64° head angle for a more stable ride on high-speed descents. Spec’d with a Rock Shox Zeb Select 170mm fork and Rock Shox Super Deluxe Select+ shock. The wide range Shimano SLX 12 speed drivetrain gives you the get up and go you need, while the matching 4 piston hydraulic disc brakes being the hammer down. Rounding off the build is a long travel internally routed dropper post, on-board tool storage and FidLock bottle cage.
