Merida One Forty 7 500 Mountain Bike 2015 - Full Suspension MTB
Bike Weight - 14.6kg (M frame - with pedals)
The Merida One Forty 500 is extremely competitively priced. This is a lightweight and very capable full susser with a quality frame and spec designed to get you the most fun out of whatever trail, descent, track or path you're riding.
Frame & Fork
The dialed geometry and active rear suss allow you to ride whatever style of off-roading you wish. A 67 degree head angle is perfect for taking on the fast, rough and technical trails, while the frame is optimized for the popular 27.5" wheel size.
Merida use 6066 aluminium alloy for the frame, which incidentally, is the highest quality aluminium grade used within the cycling industry. The frame is then triple butted to make an already light frame...even lighter. Other features such as smooth welding and internal cable routing add to the aesthetic of this full sus mountain bike.
A tapered head tube also creates a stiffer junction between the frame and fork so you get more efficient and precise turning up front.
Impressively at this price Merida have installed a Fox Float CTD rear shock and RockShox Sector TK Solo Air (140mm travel) fork. Both of these give you all the suspension you need for technical trail riding.
Components
The One Forty 500 MTB is also well spec'd with a Shimano Deore front mech and Deore Shadow+ rear - very reliable, durable and light for great gearing. Also Tektro Auriga hydraulic 180mm rotor brakes provide great stopping power in all conditions - even the muddiest, wettest trail. The KS SuperNatural dropper post makes it easier to lower your saddle for technical downhill sections.
