Merida Dirt 700 2026

The new dirt jump and pump track bike won't break the bank—and most importantly, it won't break. Made from durable 6061 aluminum, it features 26" wheels and a single-speed setup for rock-solid reliability. Designed to give you maximum fun at the best price, it features a 100 mm Manitou Circus fork that saves your hands when you land short, sturdy Alex rims, and fast Kenda tires ready to bite into the curves of the pump track. To top it all off, it has a Shimano hydraulic disc brake: born for big air, it proves to be a surprisingly versatile fun machine. Simple DIRT, durable DIRT. Whether you want to progress on dirt jumps, have fun on the pump track, or are looking for an indestructible hardtail, the new MERIDA DIRT is ready for anything. Designed for big jumps, pump tracks, tricks, and uncompromising fun, the new play hardtail is built to take hit after hit and always be ready for action, with a sturdy but essential aluminum singlespeed frame, 26" wheels, and components capable of handling any extreme ride. Designed to complete the gravity range, it is the perfect partner for those who want to hone their skills or for those who want to start their dirt career with a durable and stylish option that performs better than a classic MTB hardtail.
