Merida One Twenty 300 Trail Bike Silk Steel Blue (Blue/Lime)

Open up new trails - and ride like you're never ridden before. The One Twenty 300 marries amazing value with a high-performance trail ready 130mm travel aluminium frame, making it the perfect introduction to full-suspension mountain biking. Merida’s P-Flex suspension keeps maintenance down but fun and control at a maximum, with adjustable SR Suntour fork and shock combo taming the bumps. The Shimano CUES 10 speed drivetrain gives precise yet durable shifting, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes give stopping power you can rely on, and Merida’s dropper post gives you extra control on tough descents.

The One Twenty is a bike that doesn't need to be shoehorned into a category. Short travel trail, downcountry - call it whatever you want, but this is a fun mountain bike for doing fun mountain bike things. Light enough to climb all day but planted on the descents - and the perfect balance everywhere else. Whether you're into flowing singletrack sessions or big mileage in the mountains, the One Twenty is Merida’s do-it-all Swiss Army Knife of a bike. The high-value, high-quality LITE aluminium frame is paired with Merida’s progressive geometry concept but tweaked it to suit a fun, short-travel machine and, thanks to the Agilometer sizing concept from their award-winning One Sixty and One Forty range, you can pick stable or agile handling independently of bike fit. The hardest part will be getting the smile off your face.
