Tough, dependable and ready for whatever trail adventure you can think of. The One-Forty 700 marries a high-value all-aluminium frame to high-performance equipment that won't let you down. Merida's radical new trail geometry delivers the sort of climbing ability that would make a mountain goat proud while shaming enduro bikes with descending speed. Wide range, 12-speed Shimano drive and four-piston brakes, high-performance Marzocchi and RockShox suspension plus long travel adjustable dropper post deliver unwavering performance.

Highlights:
- Bike Radar / MBUK Trail Bike of the Year winner 2023
- Trail-ready LITE III aluminium frame with FAST kinematic suspension
- Progressive trail geometry and AGILOMETER sizing
- 30-230mm travel-adjustable dropper post
- Marzocchi Z1 Air 150mm travel fork
- RockShox Deluxe Select+ 143mm travel rear shock
- Powerful Shimano SLX 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes
Trail Bike of The Year

The Merida One-Forty is the ultimate trail bike, made for the toughest trails in the world. It's the pinnacle of modern trail riding, with a super-steep 80 degree seat angle, low front end and bottom bracket allow it to clear the most technical climbs, while longer reach figures across all sizes and a well-balanced 65 degree head angle mean it's still more than capable of ripping any descent. With Merida's new Agilometer sizing system, riders can run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, with suspension that becomes more progressive as you size up to better cope with heavier/harder riders. Merida's engineers have concentrated on weight reduction and rolling speed too, for improved efficiency. All bikes come with long travel dropper posts, Wire Port cable routing and a reliable threaded bottom bracket plus carbon frame models have on-board tool storage and FidLock magnetic bottle cages.

Bike Radar / MBUK Trail Bike of the Year winner 2023 (see [url=https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/bikes/mountain-bikes/full-suspension-mountain-bikes/merida-one-forty-700-review]here[url] for the full review):
"It didn't take long to award the overall win to the Merida One-Forty 700, though. A trail bike has to climb with the best and descend as well as anything (on less rough tracks, at least), and the One-Forty arguably does both better than any other bike here, while also offering excellent value for your hard-earned."

Verdict:
Sorted shape, excellent suspension and cracking value - it's a hard package to beat.
Trail Bike of the Year


Details
PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINUM
When creating high-end aluminium frames, Merida use the proven PROLITE 66 (6066) aluminium, as it is incredibly light and durable. In addition, it works exceptionally well with our hydroforming technology, allowing us to create complex shapes, featuring triple butted wall thicknesses, an almost carbon-like appearance and the best possible stiffness-to-weight ratio. While lesser alloys might be cheaper, it is the ideal choice for high-performance bicycle frames.

FAST KINEMATIC
This suspension system uses a Flexstay design to reduce weight and maintenance. It's adjustable to run 29" or 27.5" wheels without altering the geometry and has Size Tuned shock progression that increases with frame size, so lighter and smaller riders can access all of the travel and heavier riders get the support they need on big hits.


INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Running the brake and gear cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look and can offer aerodynamic advantages.


X-TAPER HEADTUBE
Steering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows us to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering.
