    Summary

    Expirience with the Merida ONE-SIXTY 500

    Merida ONE-SIXTY 500 Review For 2023 Merida has completely revised its enduro. The independent rear end concept with closed frame triangle and the impressive design show: The Taiwanese take the gravity segment more seriously than ever. The flat 64 degree head tube angle of the Merida ONE-SIXTY 500 oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the ONE-SIXTY 500. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other Enduro 3399 Euro with higher quality components. When viewing the 16,68 kg, its apparent: there are lighter Enduros in this price range. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Merida engineers. For 3399 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Merida puts a lot of trust in its products.
