The Merida Ninety-Six 7000 Mountain Bike is a top-of-the-line 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 high-end features such as a 120mm FOX 34 Float SC Performance Elite fork to take whatever you throw at it, Maxxis Minion DHR II tyres for amazing grip, lightweight and strong Reynolds carbon wheelset for speed, and a powerful Shimano XT hydraulic disc brake set so you can send it and fly down the trails with confidence. The Ninety-Six 7000 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 7000 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 7000 features a frame made from lightweight CF4 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 Expert 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 7000 offers a Shimano Deore XT 1x12 groupset, featuring a high quality 34t Race Face Next R chainwheel at the front and a Shimano Deore XT 10-51t cassette at the rear to give you good climbing and descending with crisp, shifting you can always depend on.
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%!
FoX 34 Float SC Performance Elite Suspension
The Fox 34 Float SC Performance Elite features the same adjustments, features, damper, weight, and 7000 series aluminium upper tubes as the top of the line Factory Series forks, but instead have black anodized stanchions instead of the Kashima Coat. This gives you forks with the best of the best all at a lower price point! With the FIT4 closed cartridge system offering 3 on-the-fly compression damping positions, the Fox 34 Float will be right there with you, no matter the terrain.
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.
