Merida Crossway 500 2015 - Hybrid Sports Bike
Bike Weight - 12.95kg (52cm frame, with pedals)
Commuting, leisure riding, fitness and off-roading...the Crossway 500 is ready for anything. Merida have built an impressive hybrid bike with a high quality frame and well spec'd for those who need a workhorse during the week, and something more lively at the weekend.
Frame & Fork
At the heart of the Crossway 500 is a light, strong and stiff aluminium frame - great for all round cycling performance. But, Merida optimise the aluminium by double butting the frame. This is a process where excess material is removed from the tubes for a lighter frame, with no strength compromise. Why? So you can accelerate faster and have a more agile ride.
Smooth welds keep the aesthetics clean, and so does the concealed cable routing under the downtube. There are mounts for a rack, kickstand and mudguards which is ideal for commuting so you get to work dry and clean.
A Suntour NCX Lite D-RL fork provide 63mm of suspension for smoothing out small lumps and bumps on rougher conditions. This fork matched with the disc brakes allows you to do some light off-roading.
Components
Shimano Deore shifters and Deore / XT-T derailleurs are excellent components at this price point.They're in Shimano's performance range and as such they are very reliable, durable and precise.
Tektro Auriga-T hydraulic disc brakes are powerful even in the wettest and dirtiest conditions.Ideally suited to MTB riding, these disc brakes are also useful in busy urban commutes when you need to dodge traffic, pedestrians and potholes.
A solid all-rounder, this is a hybrid that can do it all.
