Merida One-forty 700

Bikeradar's Trail Bike of the Year 2023, the ONE-FORTY 700 marries a high-value all-aluminium frame to high-performance equipment that won't let you down. Our radical trail geometry delivers the sort of climbing ability that would make a mountain goat proud while shaming enduro bikes with descending speed. Wide range, 12-speed SRAM drivetrain and four-piston brakes, high-performance Marzocchi and RockShox suspension plus our long travel adjustable dropper post deliver unwavering performance.
