Merida Ninety Six XT my25

There was a time when you had to choose between the performance of the trail bike and the low weight of the XC bike. Not anymore. The NINETY-SIX XT has the XC genes with a CF4 carbon frame and adds a whole new level of downhill capability, thanks to a 120mm Fox 34 SL Performance fork and 100mm rear suspension travel. Add sliding tyres, a long travel telescopic seatpost and a super-smooth Shimano XT drivetrain and brakes and you're ready to rock the garden. The NINETY-SIX is the latest incarnation of the World Cup-proven XC/Marathon bike. It inherits the racing genes of the old NINETY-SIX and combines them with a new readiness and ability to tackle today's demanding XC and Marathon courses. The carbon fibre frame and P-FLEX suspension provide the perfect basis for a fun, fast and trail-loving full suspension XC bike that defines the modern cross-country bike. It is capable of tackling the toughest world-class XC circuits, as well as quickly climbing the toughest climbs with the ability to descend like never before. For those who want a marathon bike, the RC models offer a short stroke with a 100 mm fork and super-smooth tyres.
