The Minion DHF was designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering.Directional, ramped knob design,Lightweight, single-ply casing,Compatible with front or rear,.SpecificationConditions: Loose Over Hard, Loose, Medium, Wet,Cornering Control: 1 2 3 4,Rolling Efficiency: 1 2 3 4,TPI: 60,Bead: Foldable,Ply Construction: Single,Compound: 3C Maxx Terra,Max PSI: 60,Tech: Tubeless Ready, EXO,.Technology3C Maxx Terra: An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tyres. 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet gives better treadwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip.Tubeless Ready: Tubeless tyres give the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Our TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight.EXO: An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.

Our heartland has always been bombproof aluminium hardtails. Our entry level 29er is no exception, it uses a sophisticated TFS frame with the latest technology, full internal cable routing, tapered headtube and inboard disc brake mounts. There's no point making a bombproof frame and then hanging poor components on it. Despite the entry price point we load the Big Nine 15D with as much Shimano componentry as we can due to its reliability.
Merida's heartland has always been bombproof aluminium hardtails. Half a century of frame building experience counts for a lot.All Big Nine and Big Seven models use a sophisticated TFS frame featuring the latest technology: full internal cable routing for a clean, neat set up, tapered headtube offering the potential for future upgrades inboard disc brake mounts protect the brake and maximise stopping powerAs much Shimano componentry as possible has been added to complement the modern frame and enhance reliability.There are a wide range of sizes; Big Nine for taller riders and Big Seven for shorter riders with a healthy overlap between the two. For riders in the middle, riding style can be taken into account. If you are looking for speed and efficiency choose a Big Nine, if you are looking for agility chose a Big Seven.
Carbon eEnduro bike with Shimano's new more powerful EP8 motor and larger 630w battery. Marzocchi Z1 fork and Fox shock, Shimano XT 1 x 12 transmission and Shimano SLX brakes.After 3 years of fantastic reviews, awards and accolades we distilled the essence of the ‘old’ eOne-Sixty to create an innovative new version. All the riding characteristics of the original were transferred to a carbon frame with easy access internal battery that can be charged on or off the bike.The new eOne Sixty is perfect for e-enduro riding with its perfectly tuned MTB geometry and ""mullet"" wheel standard it feels incredibly planted when descending the most demanding of trails.Our design ethos perfectly mirrors Shimano, creating eBike products that mirror normal riding.The brand new Shimano EP8 motor delivers more power, 85NM but in a very smooth and natural manner. To keep you riding longer we use the new Shimano 630w battery.The eOne-Sixty 8000 comes with Marzocchi Z1 fork and Fox shock, Shimano XT 1 x 12 transmission and Shimano SLX brakes.
The Merida Big Trail has been a hit with the mountain bike press and trail riders alike. Bikeboard.cc confirmed that we 'nailed it', while MBR, IMB and many more confirmed that the Big Trail is firmly at the top of the trail hardtail game. Conversations between UK bike shops and Merida's German R & D team resulted in the development of a fun-packed and hugely capable bike. Trail bike geometry combined with a long travel 140 mm fork and grippy 2.4" wide 29er trail tyres make this the perfect companion for exciting trail sessions and demanding all-day rides over rough terrain. It's perfectly suited to UK riding. The modern trail bike geometry has a slack enduro inspired 65.5° head angle, steep seat angle and a long reach. A short seat tube delivers a low standover height giving plenty of space to manoeuvre on the bike when the trail gets technical but still accommodates a long travel dropper post. The geometry means most sizes work for most body sizes so riding style can be factored in. If you want to go crazy fast, take the longer size, for agility, take a shorter size. The Big Trail has hidden talents, in addition to two sets of bottle bosses, there's a trail mount under the top tube giving the ability to carry tools and extra gear on the bike. It's also possible to fit mudguards and a rack if you want to trek further afield.

Merida's most versatile full suspension bike, as with all of the range, the One-Twenty is over forked running 130mm forks with plush 120mm rear travel.The designers considered both riders and mechanics, delivering a playful modern trail bike with a slack head angle, low stand over height and short chain stays that’s easy to maintain. The rear shock is held in place with trunnion mounts which due to the wider mounting increases frame stiffness and reduces shock wear. The designers can run shorter shocks and longer stroke allowing more scope for suspension tuning.All key bolts can be adjusted from one side of the bike with a Torx 30 key without the need for removing the chain set to access the main pivot bolt. While very much a trail bike at heart, the modern yet balanced trail bike geometry, paired with fantastic frame stiffness, created a mid-travel bike that is super capable on rough trails but also carries speed perfectly on less technically demanding tracks.
The Merida eOne-Sixty is a hard-hitting enduro-ready ebike which has wowed the press worldwide and become the most decorated, tested and awarded bike in Merida's 50 year history. E-Mountainbike gave it the 'BEST IN TEST' in their 'Best of 2021' eMTB group test, World of MTB also gave it their 'Best of 2021' award and FREERIDE gave the 9000 the almost perfect score of 9.5 out of ten, just to mention a few.The Merida eOne-Sixty is built around compact Shimano Steps motors, the Shimano design ethos is around natural riding, and the physical design of the motor allows Merida designers to create very short chainstays which deliver agile and “regular bike” geometry. To give the e-full suspension bikes precise steering, fantastic ‘rolling over obstacles’ behaviour yet maximum traction, we have combined a 29er front wheel with a 2.5" tyre and a 650B rear wheel, equipped with a slightly wider 2.6" tyre. The perfect combination of precision, playfulness and traction allowing you to feel planted when tackling the most demanding of trails.Shimano's e-Tube app allows you to tailor power delivery to suit your riding style, and even set two profiles, one for shredding and one for cruising.
