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. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the Merida ONE-FORTY 10K, the 65 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the ONE-FORTY 10K has a sporty seating position. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Merida Fully to on demanding single tracks a buying recommendation in the price range 10999 Euro range. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
