Merida 2026 One FORTY 700

Bikeradar's Trail Bike of the Year 2023 offers climbing ability that makes mountain goats proud and descending performance that shames enduro bikes, thanks to radical trail geometry paired with an all-aluminium frame.

Bikeradar's Trail Bike of the Year 2023, the ONE-FORTY 700 marries a high-value all-aluminium frame to high-performance equipment that won't let you down. Our radical trail geometry delivers the sort of climbing ability that would make a mountain goat proud while shaming enduro bikes with descending speed. Wide range, 12-speed SRAM drivetrain and four-piston brakes, high-performance Marzocchi suspension plus our long travel adjustable dropper post deliver unwavering performance.

The test and award-winning ONE-FORTY is the ultimate trail bike, made for the toughest trails in the world. It’s the pinnacle of modern trail riding, with a super-steep 80° seat angle, low front end and bottom bracket allow it to clear the most technical climbs, while longer reach figures across all sizes and a well-balanced 65° head angle mean it’s still more than capable of ripping any descent. With our AGILOMETER sizing system, riders can run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, with suspension that becomes more progressive as you size up to better cope with heavier/harder riders. We’ve focused on weight reduction and rolling speed too, for improved efficiency. All bikes come with long travel dropper posts, WIRE PORT cable routing and a reliable threaded bottom bracket plus carbon frames have on-board tool storage and Fidlock magnetic bottle cages.

  • Full aluminium frame with FAST kinematic suspension and AGILOMETER sizing
  • Radical trail geometry with full 29er wheels
  • 230 mm travel-adjustable dropper post
  • Marzocchi suspension, 150 mm front, 143 mm rear
  • Wide-range SRAM 12-speed drivetrain
  • Powerful 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes
