The Merida Crossway 500 is a top of the range hybrid bike with the perfect balance between commuting and leisure. You can ride this bike around town or explore all terrains off-road. The high quality 6061 Aluminium frame is lighter and more advanced frames than previous frames. It has additional heat treatment and double-butted wall thickness to produce a lighter and stiffer frame. The frame has that clean look, with internal cables protected inside the frame and double pass welding providing an excellent finish and a carbon like appearance.

It uses quality Shimano components and a SR Suntour Fork to give you a smooth ride on rougher surfaces. The Shimano drivetrain gives you reliable and accurate shifting and features a Deore XT Shadow rear derailleur, sure to last many years. This bike has all the mounting points you need to be able to kit it out for whatever you want to do. Whether it be putting some panniers on for some all-day adventures, or fitting fenders for a superb all-weather commuter.

The Merida Crossway 500 is a high-quality hybrid bike, designed to give you options when you’re out riding. You can ride fast on the road or test yourself on some more challenging dirt or gravel surfaces. This is the top of the line hybrid bike that can get you where you need to go, no matter the terrain.

Features

Racelite 61 aluminium 2019: We use a minimum of 6061 aluminium. The pay back is that it’s possible to make lighter and more advanced frames. We use an additional heat treatment and double-butted wall thicknesses to produce light and stiff frames.

Smooth welding 2019: Sometimes called ‘double pass welding’, a second pass over the weld gives a clean organic look to the frame. At first glance you will be convinced it is carbon.

Internal cable 2019: Cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. The bike looks neat, whilst the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

TFS - Techno Forming System 2019: Technoforming is a mechanical forming process, shaping the tubes by using negative moulds, at times combined with a metal internal core.

F-mount 2019: ‘F-mount’ equipped bikes have integrated fittings for mud guards (some bikes require model specific mud guards), making fitting fast and simple.

C-mount 2019: ‘C-mount’ equipped bikes have the fixing points for a rear rack already integrated (some bikes require model specific rear rack), making fitting fast, simple and reliable.

Lock-out 2019: The suspension fork and/or rear shock can be locked, either directly or via a ‘remote control’ lever on the handlebar.

treatment and double-butted wall thicknesses to produce light and stiff frames.

Remote Lock-Out 2019: The suspension fork and/or rear shock can be locked, either directly or via a ‘remote control’ lever on the handlebar.

Post-Mount Disc 2019: Post mount disc brake calipers fit directly onto the seat stay for a strong and light connection whilst a chainstay post mount positions the caliper on the chainstay within the rear triangle for extra protection and better distribution of braking forces. Another benefit is that internal cable routing is also easier and neater via the chainstay.
