Trail session on Saturday, marathon event on Sunday. That is the perfect time table for our hugely versatile mid-travel One-Twenty. It loves to shine on demanding descends and covers ground effortlessly.

The One-Twenty 3000 features a lightweight and hugely stiff carbon front triangle and combines it with a more wallet-friendly triple butted aluminium rear end. This allows Merida's 3000 to be kitted out with some quality Shimano components for smooth and reliable shifting and on-point braking performance. Exactly what you need when your ride is littered with tough uphills and challenging descents.
