Description

Buy this bike if you really want a lightweight cross county mountain bike for training, riding with friends and doing events.
Key Features:
- X-TAPER HEADTUBE: External butted head-tube with huge dimensioned 1.5” lower head-set and matching taper-steerer fork.
- THRU AXLE 12-142 STECKACHSE: This torsion-resistant thru axle with a diameter of 12 mm is used for broad 142 mm rear stays. It delights with perceptible increase of stiffness, tool-free wheel mounting and an always ideal brake rotor position.
- HFS HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM: Through an delicate, hydraulic forced forming process 3-dimensional shaped tubes made of Prolite 66
- enthuisi
- PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINUM: MERIDA's Top-Alloy made of 6066 high-strength aluminum, with triple butted walls.
- SMOOTH-WELDING: Smoothened welding line by using specific welding technology - improved outlook, without any weakening of the welding structure.
- C-S POST MOUNT DISC: “Chain Stay Post Mount Disc” – this technology is the result of three findings. First, a brake mount positioned within the frame triangle optimally protects the brake from external influences. Second, the caliper is supported by the chain stay and is therefore able to distribute the occurring physical forces in an ideal way. Third, internally routed cables can reach the brake neatly from the chain stay.
- RACE LINK: This is our rear suspension which we have optimized for Cross Country oriented riding and the modern world of 1x drivetrains. It is a single-pivot with linkage system, has a super light carbon rocker (only 80 grams) and allows for light, efficient rear ends whose kinematics totally eliminate pedal-bob when set up with 25% sag. Sensitive in the beginning, with a stable platform in the middle and progressive in the end – RACE LINK works masterfully in challenging uphills and downhills.
