Expirience with the Merida ONE-FORTY 10K

Ludwig Döhl The model name suggests 140 millimeters of suspension travel at the fork. But this is a deceptive maneuver by the Taiwanese brand Merida. Because the ONE-FORTY 10K is equipped with lush 150 mm travel at the fork and thus also equipped for excursions into alpine terrain. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the ONE-FORTY 10K. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the ONE-FORTY 10K. The Merida ONE-FORTY 10K shows what its capable of in the downhill. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Merida is behind its products. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
