Expirience with the Merida ONE-SIXTY 8000

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. The combination of a 64 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Merida Fully, even if you ride fast. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Enduro von Merida. 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. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
