Frame & Fork
At this price point the frame is great quality. Made from high grade 6066 aluminium alloy the frame is light, strong and stiff for any on-road ride performance. This is the best grade alloy used in cycling manufacturing.
Merida manage to save even more weight by triple butting the tubes. This process removes excess material from the centre of the tube, and adding thickness to ends for strength. Overall the frame is lighter, without any loss in strength.
Smooth welding adds to the aesthetic of the frame, and not something many manufacturers focus on, on their low price point machines. Internal cable routing keeps the lines clean, as well as protecting them from dirt and debris.
Components
A Shimano Tourney front mech and Claris rear mech provide good gearing and shifting. Merida's own rims will keep you rolling smoothly.
The MD in the Speeder 100's name refers to mechanical disc brakes. Disc brakes on road bikes are great because of their improved braking performance in all conditions. This is ideal on those busy urban roads.
