Totally planted, and outrageously capable, the newly redesigned Merida One Sixty 8000 Enduro Bike delivers top-level performance with a lightweight, fully carbon frame with radical geometry and sizing plus the ability to run 29er or mixed 29”/27.5” wheels. The new FAST kinematic is paired with a high-end RockShox 170 mm Zeb fork and Super Deluxe shock, while the SRAM GX wireless transmission gives clean, precise shifts every time. It’s ready to rip the longest, toughest descents too. The new suspension system uses a flexstay design with an adjustable rocker, so whether you choose to run it as a full 29er (162 mm travel) or mixed 29/27.5” setup (171 mm travel), the geometry is preserved. The steep 79° seat tube angle allows for goat-like climbing while the slack 64° head angle and legendary 170 mm fork thrive on downhill trail chaos. New sizing allows riders to run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, while suspension becomes more progressive as you size up, all with long-travel dropper posts. Merida's Wire Port cable routing plus reliable threaded bottom bracket round out the package, while the frame and seat offer onboard tool storage and FidLock magnetic bottle cages.
