Expirience with the Merida ONE-FORTY 700

Ludwig Döhl The 150 mm fork travel helps you master the on demanding trails. Here, the Merida All Mountain really plays to it´s strengths. On the scale, the All Mountain of Merida with 14,5 kg looks good. Most All Mountain in the price range until under 3000 Euro are heavier. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Merida ONE-FORTY 700. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Merida sets the bar high!
