MERIDA NINETY SIX 7000 2023 Bicycle

MERIDA NINETY SIX 7000 2023 Bicycle

There used to be a time when you had to choose between track bike performance and the right weight for cross-country racing. Not anymore. Say hello to the NINETY-SIX 7000. It builds on the fast genes of our short-travel race winner with a CF4 carbon frame and adds a whole new layer of capability thanks to a longer-travel 120mm SID Ultimate fork combined with 100 mm at the rear. Add in more aggressive tires and a larger four-piston front brake and you're ready to rock.
The NINETY-SIX is the exciting new reincarnation of our former World Cup-proven marathon and XC machine. It inherits the racing genes of the old NINETY-SIX and combines them with a new willingness and ability to tackle today's demanding XC and marathon courses. The carbon frame and P-FLEX suspension are the perfect foundation for a fun-filled, fast, trail-loving short-travel full suspension machine that helps define what a modern cross country racing bike should be. It's capable of taking on the toughest world-class race tracks ever before, as well as riders who want to climb at high speed and descend like never before. For those who want a trail bike for racing rather than high-speed trail fun, the RC models offer short travel with a 100mm fork up front, super-fast rolling tires and a lighter front brake.
