Expirience with the Merida ONE-TWENTY 300

Merida ONE-TWENTY 300 Review While many companies are increasingly focusing their attention on the high-end segment, Merida does not forget that many bikers are mainly looking for an affordable touring bike. The ONE-TWENTY 300 aims to make trail fun possible on a budget. With a flat 66 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the tours with proper trails should be considered pleasant. Looking at only the shifting system of the rest of the bikes you have to say that other manufacturers in the price range under 3000 Eurouse higher quality components. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 16,5 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. The Merida ONE-TWENTY 300 has higher quality wheels than the competitors with comparable prices. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
