Merida’s premium alloy represents very durable and light aluminum of high-end quality. The triple-butted wall thicknesses not only result in an exciting design, first and foremost they offer an optimal stiffness counterweight ratio.

This road bike is equipped with a stiff carbon fork. Merida carbon forks surprise with excellent vibration absorption and excellent braking and stiffness. Reliable steering and braking performance in every situation.

Due to its properties, such as the low weight, aluminum is still very strongly represented as a frame construction material. Thanks to the mechanical printing process, modern three-dimensional shapes are possible at TFS. Material: Racelite 6061 aluminum.

The mechanical TFS process works from the outside in. In contrast, the complex Hydroforming concept forms the frame by pushing hot oil from the inside to the outside under high hydraulic pressure.

The aluminum frames do not only have to function great, they also have to convince optically. With Smooth Welding, a second weld makes the first, connecting weld seam smoother – a costly process for a beautiful appearance without loss of strength.

The NACA Fastback concept is the result of extensive wind tunnel tests. Especially the down tube, seat tube and upright swingarm have the aerodynamically optimized abbreviated drop shape that simultaneously optimizes stiffness.

The frame is designed with special inlets and outlets for inwardly moved brake and / or shift cables. “Clean” in the double sense of the word: The bike looks well-organized, while the cables get an effective protection against moisture and dirt.

Di2 electronic switching is not to be forgotten from cycling and mountain biking thanks to proven constant performance and smooth running. The DI2 READY frames are standard suitable for (retrofitting) a Di2 switching group.

The concealed seat post clamp ensures optimum aerodynamics and also ensures a sleek look.
