Hard-hitting and bike park proof.
The One Sixty FR (Freeride) 600 takes Merida’s award-winning aluminium enduro frame and pumps up the attitude to make it ideal for hard riders and bike park heavy hitters. Mixed wheels for fun handling, plus there's a tough 180 mm travel DVO Onyx fork with 38 mm legs paired with a plush DVO Jade coil shock at the rear, all controlled by Merida’s FAST kinematic suspension so you can consistently hit lines, run after run. Quality suspension needs quality brakes, so they’ve gone big with those, while Shimano's dependable Deore does drivetrain duties.
The One Sixty FR builds on the solid platform of Merida’s award-winning One Sixty, but cranks the volume up. It's built tough so that you can hit the bike park all day long, or just rip the toughest tracks and trails time after time, safe in the knowledge that the bike won't let you down. To boost the capability, they've added in longer travel forks pushing out 180 mm travel paired with coil shocks delivering 171 mm of rear wheel travel, mounted on their tough aluminium chassis. Running a mixed 29" front and 27.5" rear wheel size for maximum manoeuvrability, whether you're ripping turns or sending it hard. However, you can switch to a full 29er setup without impacting the geometry, thanks to Merida’s flip-chip system. AGILOMETER sizing allows riders to run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height. At the same time, the suspension becomes more progressive as you size up, and all bikes are fitted with long-travel dropper posts.
