Balanced Trail Bike Geometry
The geometry of the ONE-FORTY is influenced heavily by its bigger brother, the ONE-SIXTY, by mimicking the short chainstays (435 mm) for increased agility and playfulness on the trail. A well-balanced reach and low centre of gravity combined with a short stem and wide handlebar deliver fun-packed yet confidence-inspiring handling.
If you are looking for big-ride versatility, look no further.
Enduro or trail? Quick trail session or an all-day outing over big hills? The new ONE-FORTY delivers on all fronts. A newly developed suspension platform paired with a completely overhauled geometry makes this all-mountain bike super capable on the downs and spritely on the ups.
The new ONE-FORTY is the ultimate trail bike, made for the toughest trails in the world. It’s the pinnacle of modern trail riding, with a super-steep 80° seat angle, low front end and bottom bracket allow it to clear the most technical climbs, while longer reach figures across all sizes and a well-balanced 65° head angle mean it’s still more than capable of ripping any descent. With the new sizing system, riders can run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, with suspension that becomes more progressive as you size up to better cope with heavier/harder riders. Merida have focussed on weight reduction and rolling speed too, for improved efficiency. All bikes come with long travel dropper posts, wire port cable routing, a reliable threaded bottom bracket and on-board tool storage plus carbon frames have FidLock magnetic bottle cages.
