Evolution or revolution? How about both? The ONE-SIXTY is a radical, award-winning design that pushes Merida’s hard-hitting enduro platform to new heights. Just as well, because once it’s there it’s ready to rip the longest, toughest descents too. Their proven 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. There’s a radically steep 79° seat tube angle for goat-like climbing and slack 64° head angle plus 170 mm fork to deal with downhill trail chaos. Patented AGILOMETER 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. WIRE PORT cable routing plus reliable threaded bottom bracket round out the package, while carbon frames offer on-board tool storage and FidLock magnetic bottle cages.
The ONE-SIXTY 500 gets Merida’s radical test and award-winning geometry and suspension design in a tough all-aluminium frame package, paired to components that deliver rock-solid performance and ironclad value. A RockShox Domain fork and Deluxe shock can take the rough with the rougher, while the four-piston Shimano brakes with burly 203mm rotors and wide-range Shimano Deore M6100 12 speed drivetrain are tough and consistent.
