The Merida Ninety-Six 6000 Mountain Bike is an XC dual suspension bike designed to be as light and nimble as an XC bike, but with the downhill capabilities of a trail bike. Combining multiple features such as a 120mm Rockshox SID fork to take whatever you throw at it, Maxxis Minion DHR II tyres for amazing grip, and a powerful Shimano SLX hydraulic disc brake set so you can send it and fly down the trails with confidence. The Ninety-Six 6000 has a progression leverage ratio that is higher at the beginning to increase sensitivity to small impacts while the progression gives awesome support in the mid-travel. The slacker head angle, longer reach, and a lower bottom bracket and standover height on the Ninety-Six 6000 provide increased stability and maximum room to move for added control when descending, making this XC bike a force to be reckoned with on the more aggressive and downhill oriented trails.
The Ninety-Six 6000 features a frame made from lightweight carbon using Merida's Nano Matrix Carbon to improve strength, and is combined with a leaf-spring-like frame design. Through this, Merida has eliminated the need for a seat/chainstay pivot point to reduce weight and increase stiffness, making the handling of this bike a dream. The included Merida Comp TR dropper post allows you to get your seat out of the way with a push of a lever so you have maximum room to move while descending. Adding to the amazing features, the Merida Ninety-Six 6000 offers a Shimano Deore/SLX 1x12 groupset, featuring a high quality 34t Race Face Aeffect chainwheel at the front and a Shimano Deore 10-51t cassette at the rear to give you good climbing and descending with crisp, reliable shifting.
Nano Matrix Carbon
To give you the strongest and best Carbon frames, Merida utilises Nano Matrix technology. The Carbon fibers are bonded together using an epoxy resin with added nano particles which increases the impact resistance by up to 40%!
ROckshox SID Front Suspension
Designed with the speed to win and the strength to send it, the SID is the perfect fork for a capable XC bike. Designed to tackle single track to rock gardens, jumps, and anything in between with its 120mm of travel, these truly are the go-to fork for the XC rider who wants the best!
P-Flex Technology
Merida's proprietary P-Flex technology, uses the inherent compliance of the carbon and a leaf-spring-like frame design, to allow the frame to flex near the seat and chainstay junction enough to make the pivot point obsolete, all without impacting durability. This gives you a lighter bike and increased stiffness for a better ride.
