Frame & Suspension

  • Built around a CF4 III carbon frame with 100 mm of full‑suspension travel featuring Merida's P‑FLEX compliance system, offering efficient pedaling and subtle compliance over rough terrain. 

  • Equipped with a Fox 32 SC Performance air fork (100 mm, 44 mm offset) and a matching Fox Float SL Performance Elite shock, both with remote lockouts for climbing-focused tuning.


Component Build

  • Drivetrain: Shimano XT M8100 12‑speed with a 32T crank and wide-range 10–51T cassette delivers reliable shifting and climbing gears. 

  • Brakes: Shimano XT (M8100/M8110), 2‑piston hydraulic setup for consistent stopping performance. 

  • Wheels & Tyres: Merida Expert CC aluminum rims (22.8 mm inner width), tubeless-ready, paired with Maxxis Rekon Race 29×2.25″ tyres (EXO, 120 TPI) for fast rolling. 

  • Contact points: Merida Expert CC 760 mm flat bars, Expert SL saddle, and Expert TR Light dropper post (100 mm travel) for on‑the‑fly control. Remote lockout via Trans‑X TwistLoc grip. 


Geometry & Fit

  • Offers modern XC race geometry: ~76° seat tube angle, ~68.5° head tube angle across S–XL sizes; reach from ~433 mm (S) to ~493 mm (XL). Stays at a consistent 435 mm.

  • Medium wheelbase (~1146 mm) strikes a balance of fast handling and stability on descents. 


Ride Performance & Versatility

  • Built for XC speed and marathon racing, this bike thrives on seated climbing thanks to its responsive suspension platform and efficient pedaling design. 

  • The P‑FLEX system and carbon compliance smooth rough terrain, while the remote lockouts let you dial in stiffness instantly. 

  • Handling is nimble and race‑sharp—cornering and acceleration are strengths—but on uneven terrain it can feel a bit “twitchy” for some riders. Wider bars or suspension tuning can help.
