Product Details

Description

The NINETY-SIX is the latest incarnation of Merida’s former World Cup proven XC and marathon machine. It inherits the forward-surging race genes of the old NINETY-SIX and combines it with a new readiness and ability to tackle today’s demanding XC and marathon courses. The carbon fibre frame platform and P-FLEX suspension is the perfect basis for a fun-packed, fast and trail loving short travel full suspension machine that helps define what a modern cross-country race bike should be. It's able to take on the rougher than ever world-class racetracks as well as the trail riders who want hyper-speed climbing with the ability to descend like never before.

The life of the privateer cross-country racer is the hardest one on the grid; delivering top-level performance but without top-level resources. That's where the NINETY-SIX XT comes in with a race-ready package of a lightweight CF4 carbon frame married to components that hit that sweet spot between performance and cost. Fox' proven 34 SC fork and Float SL Performance Elite shock serve up 100mm of travel. Shimano's benchmark 12-speed XT drivetrain needs no introduction, while matching Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes provide the performance and reliability to keep you going, lap after lap.
