Merida Speeder 500 Flat Bar 2016 - Road Bike

The 2016 Merida Speeder 500 combines road bike speed with an upright riding position for better handling and visibility on urban road. Whether you’re a commuter or weekend warrior the Speeder can do it all.

The Speeder is most at home as a city bike with nimble handling and powerful disc brakes navigating crossings and junctions.

You can buy the highly versatile Merida Speeder 500 flat bar road bike through a Cycle to Work scheme for even better value.

Frame

Key to the ride feel is a strong, light and stiff aluminium frame. Extra weight has been shaved off the frame by a process called triple butting. All unnecessary frame material is removed from low stress areas. You get a lighter frame which is just as strong as a non-butted bike.

Extra attention to detail like smooth welds and internal cable routing give the Speeder a slick look. These aren’t features you find on all bikes at this price.

A tapered head tube up front increases stiffness for precision steering - ideal for dodging potholes at speed. Helping with steering precision is a full carbon fork which also works to absorb road vibrations for a more comfortable ride.

Components

Equipped is a Shimano Ultegra 11 speed drivetrain with FSA Gossamer compact chainset which offers road bike speed. Small steps between each gear makes it easier to match the right option for your pedalling speed.

Shimano hydraulic disc brakes offer great modulation for precision speed control.
