Expirience with the Merida ONE-FORTY 6000

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 6000 is equipped with lush 150 mm travel at the fork and thus also equipped for excursions into alpine terrain. With a 65 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. The seating position is sporty. On climbs, the Merida Fully lets you sweat. Other bikes 5799 Euro climb better. With 15,25 kg, the Merida ONE-FORTY 6000 tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the ONE-FORTY 6000 sizing runs big.
