Our Technologies. Your Benefits.

M.O.R.E. SUSPENSION

BIKE A
M.O.R.E. SUSPENSION
MERIDA Optimized Ride Engineering – full-suspension with a kinematic being perfectly designed for the specific application.

MODULAR HEAD

BIKE A
MODULAR HEAD
Time trial or Triathlon? Drafting allowed or forbidden? There are many influences to be considered to determine your best seating position on a aero bike - “Modular Head” lets you add or take away 40 millimeters to and from your head tube length without losing any performance regarding steering and breaking performance.

SMOOTH-WELDING

BIKE A
SMOOTH-WELDING
Smoothened welding line by using specific welding technology - improved outlook, without any weakening of the welding structure.

HFS HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM

BIKE A
HFS HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM
Through an delicate, hydraulic forced forming process 3-dimensional shaped tubes made of Prolite 66

TFS TECHNO FORMING SYSTEM

BIKE A
TFS TECHNO FORMING SYSTEM
Through some mechanical pressing-operations 3-dimensional shaped tubes made of Racelite 6061 alloy.

X-TAPER HEADTUBE

BIKE A
X-TAPER HEADTUBE
External butted head-tube with huge dimensioned 1.5” lower head-set and matching taper-steerer fork.

MATTS TAPER TOP-TUBE

BIKE A
MATTS TAPER TOP-TUBE
MATTS Shotgun top-tube with a conic shaped cross-section, getting slimmer to the rear.

RACELITE 6061 ALUMINUM

BIKE A
RACELITE 6061 ALUMINUM
ATTS down-tube with MERIDA-typical Shotgun shape.

PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINUM

BIKE A
PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINUM
MERIDA's Top-Alloy made of 6066 high-strength aluminum, with triple butted walls.

EGG-SHAPE HEADTUBE

BIKE A
EGG-SHAPE HEADTUBE
Egg-shaped head-tube with semi integrated bearings and bigger dimensions at the tube's centre - for an optimim in head-tube stiffness.

CONE-HEAD HEAD-TUBE

BIKE A
CONE-HEAD HEAD-TUBE
Conically shaped headtube, which gets slimmer to its upper end; semi integrated bearing at the bottom and external cup headset at the top.

POST-MOUNT DISC

BIKE A
POST-MOUNT DISC
Direct assembling of the disc-caliper at the frame’s rear drop-out – simplified adjustment of the caliper.

DOUBLE CHAMBER TECHNOLOGY

BIKE A
DOUBLE CHAMBER TECHNOLOGY
Integrated reinforcing rib separates highly stressed carbon-tubes into 2 individual chambers; bending strength and hit-resistance are getting improved.

CARBON FORK

BIKE A
CARBON FORK
Front fork made of carbon composite material; at some models 100% made of carbon composite.

BIO FIBER DAMPING COMPOUND

BIKE A
BIO FIBER DAMPING COMPOUND
Maximum comfort even at the rigid rear stays and forks of MTB hardtails or carbon road machines: Additional flax fibres in the carbon structure of the seat and/or chain stays and/or fork blades reduce high-frequency vibrations.

FLEX-STAY

BIKE A
FLEX-STAY
Special shaped seat- and/or chain-stays improve vibration-damping and create noticeable comfort.

LOCK-OUT

BIKE A
LOCK-OUT
Device to lock the suspension (fork and/or rear-shock) through switching a lever, being located directly at the fork-crown or shock.

REMOTE LOCK-OUT

BIKE A
REMOTE LOCK-OUT
Device to lock the suspension (fork and/or rear-shock) through switching a cable actuated lever, being mounted at the handlebar.

VIRTUAL PIVOT KINEMATICS

BIKE A
VIRTUAL PIVOT KINEMATICS
MERIDA’s original rear stay system characterizes all full-suspension bikes of the 140, 160 and 180 mm category. Due to the virtual pivot, VPK offers outstanding sensitivity in combination with optimum drivetrain and braking neutrality.

FRONT / REAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION

BIKE A
FRONT / REAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION
Indication of the maximum fork- and rear-wheel travel at bikes with full suspension.

FORK TRAVEL HARDTAIL

BIKE A
FORK TRAVEL HARDTAIL
Indication of the maximum fork-travel at bikes with suspension-fork.

FRONT / REAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION

BIKE A
FRONT / REAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION
Indication of the maximum fork- and rear-wheel travel at bikes with full suspension.

12-142 THRU-AXLE

BIKE A
12-142 THRU-AXLE
12mm thru-axle with 142 drop-out width: Increased stiffness and perfect disc-rotor position, no tools required for wheel disassembling.

SHOTGUN 6061

BIKE A
SHOTGUN 6061
MERIDA-typical shaped down-tube with twin-curved bottom, for increase of bending- and torsion-stiffness.

NANO MATRIX CARBON

BIKE A
NANO MATRIX CARBON
NANO-particles reinforce the epoxy-based matrix structure - for up to 40% improved hit-resitance.

AWS

BIKE A
AWS
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.

INTERNAL CABLE

BIKE A
INTERNAL CABLE
Brake or shifting-cables routed internally through the frame’s tubes. Clean and improved outlook, wi

STRUCTURE ELEMENTS

BIKE A
STRUCTURE ELEMENTS
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.

K-MOUNT DROP-OUT

BIKE A
K-MOUNT DROP-OUT
Disc-dropout with integrated 2-bolt direct-mount for HEBIE rear-frame kick-stand.

2 x 10 MTB

BIKE A
2 x 10 MTB
Race drive-train, which demands less front shifting than triple chain-wheels: Less power-loss and reduced risk of chain-suck.
