Trail riding is about going further, faster than ever before. The all-new ONE-FORTY 500 positively encourages you to do just that thanks to an all-aluminium frame with new geometry that smooths out the toughest climbs as you tackle high mountain trails. There's no point in going out if you can't come back, which is why we've fitted a high-value kit that offers high performance. Marzocchi and RockShox take care of the suspension, while a wide-range Shimano 11-speed drivetrain turns your effort into movement and four-piston brakes turn the lightest touch into a perfect phenata. The new ONE-FORTY is the ultimate trail bike, built for the toughest trails in the world. It is the pinnacle of modern trail riding, with an 80° seat tube angle, low front end and high bottom bracket allowing it to conquer the most technical climbs, while the longer frame on all sizes and a well-balanced 65° head tube angle mean you can tackle any descent.  With the new sizing system, riders can use a longer or shorter frame regardless of their height, with suspension that becomes more progressive as you increase in size. We also focused on reducing weight and rolling speed for greater efficiency. All bikes feature long travel telescopic seatposts, WIRE PORT cable routing and a reliable threaded bottom bracket, plus carbon frames have an integrated tool compartment and FidLock magnetic bottle cages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull aluminium frame with FAST kinematic suspension and AGILOMETER sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadical new trail geometry with full 29er wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e230 mm travel-adjustable dropper post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarzocchi and RockShox suspension, 150 mm front, 143 mm rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide-range Shimano 11-speed drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTech Specs \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: ONE-FORTY LITE III, 143mm travel 29‘, material: aluminium, maximum wheel size 29x2.5’, standard 148x12mm axle, standard BSA bottom bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork: Marzocchi Z2, Air, 150mm travel, Tapered, 44mm fork offset, 29x2.6’ maximum wheel size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShock absorber: Rock Shox Deluxe Select+, lockout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrakes: Shimano Deore M6120, 4 pistons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscs: Shimano RT30, 203 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadset: MERIDA 8158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar stem: MERIDA TEAM TR, material: aluminium, width 780 mm, rise M\/L\/XL 30 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem: MERIDA EXPERT eTRII, material: aluminium, diameter 35mm, stem angle 0°, 50mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrips: MERIDA EXPERT EC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShifters: Shimano Deore M5100 Shadow+, SGS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShifters: Shimano SL -MT500-IL \/ Shimano Deore M5100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrankset: Race Face Ride, 32 teeth, 175 mm-M up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost: MERIDA EXPERT TR II, 34.9 mm diameter, 0 mm reach, M\/L\/XL: seatpost with 200 mm travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost clamp: MERIDA EXPERT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: ERIDA COMP SL, V-mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePedals: VP VPE-537\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain: KMC X11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprocket set: Shimano Deore M5100, 11-51 teeth, 11-speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom Bracket: Race Face BSA 68\/73 - 24 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRims: MERIDA COMP TR, 29mm inner width, material: aluminium, tubeless ready (tubeless tape and valves not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHubs: Shimano MT400-B, front hub 110x15mm, 32 spoke holes, Centerlock, rear hub 148x12mm, 32 spoke holes, Centerlock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePivots: MERIDA COMP TR, including removable lever, 6 Allen keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpokes: Black Inox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTyres: Maxxis Minion DHF \/ Maxxis Dissector, 29x2.5‘, fold, TR EXO 3C MaxxTera, 29x2.4’, fold, TR EXO+ MaxxTerra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePermissible total weight: 135 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTechnologies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHFS - HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTubes are inserted into negative moulds and a hot emulsion of water and oil is forced under pressure, enabling them to form complex shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eX-TAPER HEADTUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur X-Tapered headtube offers space for mounting a tapered fork.
