SMOOTH-WELDING

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

DOUBLE CHAMBER TECHNOLOGY

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

SHOTGUN 6061

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

HFS HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM

Through an delicate, hydraulic forced forming process 3-dimensional shaped tubes made of Prolite 66 alloy.

CARBON FORK

Front fork made of carbon composite material; at some models 100% made of carbon composite.

NANO MATRIX CARBON

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

TFS TECHNO FORMING SYSTEM

Through some mechanical pressing-operations 3-dimensional shaped tubes made of Racelite 6061 alloy.

FLEX-STAY

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

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.

MATTS TAPER TOP-TUBE

MATTS Shotgun top-tube with a conic shaped cross-section, getting slimmer to the rear.

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.

INTERNAL CABLE

Rear brake-cable running inside the top-tube - at some modles additional internal runnung shifting cables at the down-tube.

RACELITE 6061 ALUMINUM

ATTS down-tube with MERIDA-typical Shotgun shape.

REMOTE LOCK-OUT

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

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.

PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINUM

MERIDA's Top-Alloy made of 6066 high-strength aluminum, with triple butted walls.

FLOATING DISC

Pat. pended MERIDA disc-brake device with 10 mm through-axle, which separates suspension- and braking forces completely.

K-MOUNT DROP-OUT

Disc-dropout with integrated 2-bolt direct-mount for HEBIE rear-frame kick-stand.

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.

FORK TRAVEL HARDTAIL

Indication of the maximum fork-travel at bikes with suspension-fork

FRONT/REAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION

Indication of the maximum fork- and rear-wheel travel at bikes with full suspension.

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.
