Merida’s Ninety Six RC 5000 caters to the Cross Country Racer and the Trail Rider looking for an advantage. The CF4 III Carbon frame with nano matric carbon, increases impact resistance by up to 40% and offers an even sleeker design. P-Flex technology allows the frame to flex near the seat and chainstay, making a pivot point obsolete, saving weight and adding stiffness. Updated internal cable routing with a wire port headset cap, cleans up the cockpit area. The geometry has been updated with modern preferences in mind, with a slacker head angle, steeper seat angle, a longer wheelbase and reach. Non-slip tightening tech allows selected bolts to be tightened via a TORX 30 key from just one side. The Rock Shox Reba RL 100mm fork and Rock SIDLuxe Select+ shock offer remote lockout. Shimano Deore M6100 1x12 drivetrain, Shimano SLX Hydraulic Disc Brakes, Maxxis Rekon Race 29x2.35 tyres and an internally routed dropper post ensure the Ninety Six RC 5000 is race ready straight out of the box.

Merida Dual Suspension Bike Sizing Chart

Merida is an international bike brand with its headquarters in Taiwan, the R&D department is based near Stuttgart in Germany. To be based in Germany has historical reasons for MERIDA but the precise location was chosen specifically because the region around Stuttgart is one of the hot spots of the automotive and machine building industry which Germany is famous for and attracts a hugely skilled design and engineer labor force.

The Merida team are more than just highly trained and experienced bicycle creators – they simply love everything ‘bike’. Most of their R&D staff are daily bike commuters while others are serious mountain bikers, who regularly compete in Marathon, Enduro and Downhill competitions, or licensed road racers and even ambitious Ironman triathletes. Get the behind the scenes view of the Merida R&D centre and meet some of their key members of staff in the below video.
