Bike Radar / MBUK gave Merida double honours crowning the One-Sixty 6000 Enduro bike of the year and the One-Forty 700 Trail bike of the year.
Of the One-Sixty they said: "it was the Merida €™s proportions, supportive suspension and electrifying ride feel that finally clinched it. €œThe fun we had riding some of the gnarliest trails around Dolceacqua, skimming over jagged rocks and drifting loose turns, meant it had to be the winner. €Totally planted, thoroughly sorted and outrageously capable.
The all-new One-Sixty 8000 delivers top-level performance with a lightweight, carbon fibre frame with radical geometry and sizing plus the ability to run 29er or mixed 29 €/27.5 € wheels. The new FAST kinematic is paired to a high-end RockShox 170mm Zeb fork and Super Deluxe shock, while the SRAM GX wireless transmission gives clean, precise shifts every time.
The One-Sixty is a radical, all-new design that pushes Merida's hard-hitting enduro platform to new heights. Just as well, because once it €™s there it €™s ready to rip the longest, toughest descents too. Merida's new suspension system uses a flexstay design with an adjustable rocker, so whether you choose to run it as a full 29er (162mm travel) or mixed 29/27.5 € setup (171mm travel), the geometry is preserved. There €™s a radically steep 79° seat tube angle for goat-like climbing and slack 64° head angle plus 170mm fork to deal with downhill trail chaos. New sizing allows riders to run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, while suspension becomes more progressive as you size up, all with long-travel dropper posts. Wire Port cable routing plus reliable threaded bottom bracket round out the package, while carbon frame models offer on-board tool storage and FidLock magnetic bottle cages.
