Performance and value, it’s what every enduro rider wants and what this bike delivers, joining an all-aluminium frame with radical enduro geometry to a high-performance kit and Merida’s premium finishing features to deliver a stunning ride.

That means hard-hitting modern geometry with Merida’s new FAST kinematic suspension that delivers a chaos taming ride alongside quality a Marzocchi Z1, Air, 170mm travel fork and Fox Float X performance platform shock.
