Expirience with the Merida ONE-SIXTY 700

Ludwig Döhl 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. With a 64 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. With 16,67 kg, the Merida Fully tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Merida engineers. For 3499 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
