One-Forty 400 - Grey

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-forty they said: it didnât take long to award the overall win to the merida one-forty 700, though. A trail bike has to climb with the best and descend as well as anything (on less rough tracks, at least), and the one-forty arguably does both better than any other bike here, while also offering excellent value for your hard-earned.Âthe one-forty 400 brings an unheard of level of climbing and descending performance into a high-value package built around an all-new aluminium frame. It's got exactly the same ground-breaking geometry as its more expensive brethren, just paired with kit that delivers the performance you need, without the price tag. Dropper posts on all models, a wide-range 11-speed Shimano drivetrain and no-nonsense suspension from Rockshox and suntour gets the job done without fuss.The new merida one-forty is the ultimate trail bike, made for the toughest trails in the world. Itâs the pinnacle of modern trail riding, with a super-steep 80â 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 65â head angle mean itâs still more than capable of ripping any descent. With merida's new agilometer 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's enginners have focussed on weight reduction and rolling speed too, for improved efficiency. All bikes come with long travel dropper posts, wire port cable routing and a reliable threaded bottom bracket plus carbon frame models have on-board tool storage and fidlock magnetic bottle cages
