The One-Forty 500 is built around a Lite Aluminium frame shaped for modern trail riding, with internal cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket, and enough seat tube depth to fit a long-travel dropper post. Its geometry is designed to balance climbing efficiency with downhill confidence, giving you a stable feel on steep, technical trails without losing the agility needed for tighter sections. A flip chip allows the bike to run full 29er or mullet wheel setups, and tyre clearance up to 2.5" adds flexibility for different trail conditions.

Up front, the Marzocchi Z2 air fork delivers 150mm of controlled travel with a supportive feel over rocks and roots. The RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock works alongside the frame’s progressive suspension design to keep the bike planted without feeling sluggish, helping you stay centred when the terrain gets unpredictable.

Shimano’s Deore 11-speed drivetrain gives you dependable shifting and a useful gear range for long climbs or quicker rolling trails. Matching four-piston Deore M6120 hydraulic brakes, paired with 203mm rotors, provide steady, predictable stopping power that helps you stay composed on loose or steep descents.

The bike rolls on Merida Comp TR rims with a 29mm internal width, offering good support for the Maxxis Minion DHF and Dissector tyres. Both come in durable EXO and EXO+ casings with folding Kevlar beads, giving a balance of grip, comfort and puncture protection. Shimano MT400 hubs with centre-lock fittings complete the wheelset.

A Merida Expert dropper post (with travel matched to frame size) and a wide 780mm handlebar set you up with the control needed for modern trail riding. The Merida Comp SL saddle and Race Face Ride chainset round out a dependable build built around practical, reliable component choices.

The One-Forty 500 is a capable and confidence-boosting option for riders who want a bike that’s ready for long days on varied trails, from steady climbs to demanding descents, without overcomplicating the ride.
