Merida One Sixty 8000 Mountain Bike 2024

Highlights Full carbon frame with FAST kinematic suspension and radical enduro geometry Mixed or full 29er wheel setup with Agilometer sizing RockShox Zeb and Super Deluxe suspension SRAM GX Eagle wireless drivetrain and lifetime warranty Race Face wheelset 230mm travel-adjustable dropper post On-board tool storage and FidLock bottle cage RockShox Super Deluxe shock with 170mm RockShox Zeb fork. 1 x 12 SRAM GX Eagle wireless drivetrain, Race Face Turbine R30 wheelset with lifetime warranty. SRAM Code 4 pot hydraulic disc brakes and travel adjustable dropper post. 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. The 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.

The original Big Trail concept was the result of a few UK dealers discussing the ideal UK trail bike with the Merida R&D chief – simple: 140 mm air fork, 29" wheels, 1x transmission and a dropper post. Now in its 2nd iteration Big Trail is a fun-packed and hugely capable trail bike. Its progressive geometry combines a steep 76.5° seat angle with a slack 64.0° head angle giving great climbing characteristics and plenty of stability when the terrain gets steep or rough. Sizing follows the Agilometer principle which means most sizes work for most body sizes so that riding style can be factored in. If you want to go fast, take the longer size, for agility, take a shorter size.
