The Merida Speeder 400 is a flatbar road bike built for the fitness enthusiast or commuter that wants a fast and efficient ride. The flatbar combines the relaxed Comfort Geometry with road bike parts and design to give you a much more comfortable ride than your traditional road bike, but you still get all of the benefits of a roadie.

The Speeder 400 frame is built to the same standards as Merida’s alloy road frames, built from lightweight 6066 triple butted and hydroformed aluminium, with smooth welding for that carbon-like finish. The reliable alloy frame is complemented by the tapered CF2 carbon fork which smoothly absorbs vibrations and offers excellent stiffness and steering. The final touch is the internal cable routing so that your cables are protected from the elements

The Speeder 400 is a relaxed bike with serious spec, starting with the 2x11 Shimano 105 drivetrain and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. The 105 drivetrain will give you smooth and consistent shifting with a good range of gears to get up some serious speed, while the hydraulic disc brakes will give you all-weather control over your speed. The Merida Speeder 400 flatbar road bike is ready to chill out or go flat out, it’s up to you. Casual comfort meets reliable roadie with this practical and fun bike from Merida.

Features

Speeder Lite Frame: Lightweight 6066 triple butted and hydroformed aluminium frame with smooth welding and internal cable routing. Complete with mudguard and rack mounts.

Sophisticated Frame: We use 6066 series aluminium, the highest level generally used in bike production. Its metallic composition allows it to be extensively hydroformed (a process of forcing a hot emulsion of water and oil through tubes in a negative mould). This allows us to vary wall thicknesses and tune the frame to be both strong where it is needed and flexible where required.

Internal Cable Routing: Cables are routed through the frame to keep the look of the bike neat and uncluttered, whilst the cables are out of the airflow and protected from moisture and dirt.

Disc Brake Fitness: All SPEEDERs are equipped with hydraulic disc brakes for powerful, easy to modulate and consistent all-weather stopping power.

Carbon Forks: All models are equipped with a full carbon tapered fork. Carbon has great vibration absorbing properties in addition to being lightweight, so ride quality is improved. The carbon tapered steerer provides great stiffness to the front end of the bike, delivering precise and confidence inspiring handling.

Comfort Geometry: SPEEDERs share their genetic make-up with our former RIDE comfort geometry. The combination of a long head tube and shorter top tube provides a more relaxed seating position.
