Merida One Twenty 600 Mountain Bike Matt Grey/Glossy Black (2021)

The Merida One-Twenty 600 Dual Suspension Mountain Bike is a dynamic mountain bike that doesn’t really have a significant weak spot. It tries to bring together the climbing ability of the Merida Ninety XC race bike with descending capabilities of the Merida One Forty all mountain bike. The light alloy frame is equipped with a 120mm RockShox Deluxe Select+ Rear Shock and Marzocchi Z2 Fork with 130mm travel for versatile trail performance. The Float Link Rear Suspension Design moves with the system to deliver sensitive response characteristics and this really is a difference maker.

The Shimano 1×12 Speed Shimano Drivetrain is more than respectable with its smooth and reliable shifting given the efficient 1x setup. The Shimano MT6100 2 piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes are more than capable when it comes to responsive braking power that allows you to properly take on the trails. The 29×2.25″ tubeless ready Maxxis Forekaster tyres are matched with light Merida Expert aluminium rims and together they provide a ride that is relatively smooth with a respectable blend of traction and speed. The 600 is a nice step up from the 400 with improved brakes, a 12 speed drivetrain instead of 11 speed, and Maxxis Forekaster tyres instead of Maxxis Rekon tyres. The Merida One-Twenty 600 Dual Suspension Mountain Bike is built is a modern 12 speed mountain bike with geometry and spec that handle handle recreational or skilled riders.

Features

Float Link Rear Suspension: The lower shock mount moves with the system to deliver sensitive response characteristics. Our engineers can precisely influence the transmission ratio and progression meaning a Float Link rear suspension system appears to offer more travel than the model name suggests.

Superlite 16 Alloy: Our latest grade of aluminium (6016) enables super thin wall thicknesses whilst delivering amazing strength, ideal for demanding off-road riding and racing.

X-Taper Headtube: Using a tapered head tube with 1 1/8″ bearings in the top and 1 1/4″ or 1 1/2″ in the bottom creates superb stiffness and precise, confidence inspiring steering.

Internal Cable: Cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. The bike looks neat, whilst the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

Smooth Welding: Sometimes called double pass welding, a second pass over the weld gives a clean organic look to the frame. At first glance you will be convinced it is carbon.

Smart Entry: Cables, housings and brake hoses are clamped under tension to prevent rattling when the trail gets rough. All inlets are completely interchangeable to deal with Di2, hydraulic hoses, brake cable and gear cable housings etc.

12-142 Thru-Axle: Front forks use a 110mm wide through axle with 15mm diameter to increase lateral stiffness. A 142mm x12 mm rear axle fixed directly into the frame increases rear end stiffness whilst simplifying wheel removal and replacement.

C-S Post Mount Disc: Post mount disc brake calipers fit directly onto the seat stay for a strong and light connection whilst a chainstay post mount positions the caliper on the chainstay within the rear triangle for extra protection and better distribution of braking forces. Another benefit is that internal cable routing is also easier and neater via the chainstay.
