MERIDA Optimized Ride Engineering – full-suspension with a kinematic being perfectly designed for the specific application.
|
Smoothened welding line by using specific welding technology - improved outlook, without any weakening of the welding structure.

TFS TECHNO FORMING SYSTEM
Through some mechanical pressing-operations 3-dimensional shaped tubes made of Racelite 6061 alloy.
|
External butted head-tube with huge dimensioned 1.5” lower head-set and matching taper-steerer fork.
|
MATTS Shotgun top-tube with a conic shaped cross-section, getting slimmer to the rear.
|
ATTS down-tube with MERIDA-typical Shotgun shape.
|
PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINUM
MERIDA's Top-Alloy made of 6066 high-strength aluminum, with triple butted walls.
|
Egg-shaped head-tube with semi integrated bearings and bigger dimensions at the tube's centre - for an optimim in head-tube stiffness.
|
Direct assembling of the disc-caliper at the frame’s rear drop-out – simplified adjustment of the caliper.
|
DOUBLE CHAMBER TECHNOLOGY
Integrated reinforcing rib separates highly stressed carbon-tubes into 2 individual chambers; bending strength and hit-resistance are getting improved.
|
Front fork made of carbon composite material; at some models 100% made of carbon composite.
|
Special shaped seat- and/or chain-stays improve vibration-damping and create noticeable comfort.
|
Device to lock the suspension (fork and/or rear-shock) through switching a lever, being located directly at the fork-crown or shock.
|
Device to lock the suspension (fork and/or rear-shock) through switching a cable actuated lever, being mounted at the handlebar.
|
Pat. pended MERIDA disc-brake device with 10 mm through-axle, which separates suspension- and brakin

FRONT / REAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION
Indication of the maximum fork- and rear-wheel travel at bikes with full suspension.
|
Indication of the maximum fork-travel at bikes with suspension-fork.
|
Conically shaped headtube, which gets slimmer to its upper end; semi integrated bearing at the bottom and external cup headset at the top.
|
12mm thru-axle with 142 drop-out width: Increased stiffness and perfect disc-rotor position, no tools required for wheel disassembling.
|
MERIDA-typical shaped down-tube with twin-curved bottom, for increase of bending- and torsion-stiffness.
|
NANO-particles reinforce the epoxy-based matrix structure - for up to 40% improved hit-resitance.
|
Anti Wrinkle System – through three dimensional shaped silicone inserts, which will be removed after the manufacturing process, the internal surface of the carbon monocoque gets significantly improved. Less wrinkles create higher stiffness and improve durability.
|
Brake or shifting-cables routed internally through the frame’s tubes. Clean and improved outlook, wi
|
Carbon-frame, which is made from compact dimensioned carbon frame-segments. The bonding of these elements is made according to the specific stress lasting at the different areas, either by internal joints or tube-to-tube.
|
Disc-dropout with integrated 2-bolt direct-mount for HEBIE rear-frame kick-stand.
|
Race drive-train, which demands less front shifting than triple chain-wheels: Less power-loss and reduced risk of chain-suck.
