Expirience with the Merida NINETY-SIX RC 10K

Ludwig Döhl The frame of the race bike was redesigned in 2021 and meets all modern requirements. Thanks to a moderate 68,5 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
