Merida One Twenty RC 300 Mountain Bike Teal Blue/Lime (2022)

The Merida One Twenty RC 300 is a trail bike with a touch of XC speed for an agile ride. The triple-butted 6066 aluminium frame is stiff and light, with 100mm travel thanks to the Suntour Edge TR LOR8 Rear Shock with lockout. The Float Link Suspension allows the lower shock to move with the system which gives you a plush feel and enhanced pedalling efficiency. This makes it different to rest the rest of the One Twenty range which packs 120mm rear travel, it does however have a 120mm travel Suntour XCR32 Fork with remote lockout, giving this bike a feel that sits somewhere between trail and XC.

This bike is more than capable on the trails, equipped with a 2×9 speed Shimano Alivio Drivetrain which is simple, efficient and reliable. While the Tektro M275 2 piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes give you the stopping power and control you need to ride with confidence. The RC 300 rolls on Merida Comp CC wheels and 29×2.2″ Maxxis Ikon Tyres which fuse grip and speed in one package. The Merida One Twenty RC 300 is a trail bike built to go fast, with reasonable spec and design which is reasonable value for money for the keen trail rider.
