Expirience with the Merida ONE-FORTY 400

Ludwig Döhl The ONE-FORTY 400 has with 140 mm minimally less travel at the fork than the rest of the bikes of the One Forty model range. With a 65 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the All Mountain von Merida has a sporty seating position. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other All Mountain 2299 Euro with higher quality components. With 16,88 kg, the ONE-FORTY 400 tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Merida is behind its products. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the All Mountain von Merida sizing runs big.
