Merida one-forty

We were impressed by the changes Merida made to their One-Sixty enduro bike this year, so we’re excited to see them trickle down to the shorter-travel One-Forty. The shock now ‘floats’ between the upper link and chain-stay tips for a more ‘bottomless’ feel, and the angles look decent enough too, with a 66.3-degree head angle and 455mm reach on the large. www.merida-bikes.com
