The MISSION 10K has won the 2026 Design & Innovation Award!

Vi er glade for å kunne legge enda en pris til troféskapet for vår nye gravel- og multi‑surface‑sykkel. MISSION har gjennomgått en rekke vellykkede tester over hele verden, som har vist sykkelens fartspotensial, smidighet og allsidighet på alle typer underlag. Med tanke på sykkelens lange liste av sterke testresultater håpet vi at den også ville hevde seg i Design & Innovation Award, og den skuffet ikke.

MISSION følger i fotsporene til flere andre suksessrike MERIDA‑modeller som tidligere har mottatt denne høyt anerkjente bransjeprisen, blant annet SILEX, eSILEX, eONE‑EIGHTY, eONE‑SIXTY SL og SCULTURA, for å nevne noen av de mer nylige.

To find out the findings of the jury and why they awarded the MISSION, here is their verdict:
“For anyone looking for a single bike to ride both on the road and gravel, MERIDA presents the brand-new MISSION 10K. This bike is aimed at ambitious riders who want to combine road speed with the versatility of gravel. At its heart is a lightweight carbon frame with a distinctly road-inspired geometry and clearance for tyres up to 40 mm wide, blending gravel race DNA with genuine all-road capability. The matching MERIDA cockpit impresses with excellent ergonomics, low weight and aerodynamic performance, while the integrated mudguard mounts broaden its range of applications – from fast commutes to rainy gravel rides. The design is deliberately understated. A high-quality dark blue paint job and clean lines highlight the bike’s sporty character without looking over the top. That’s exactly why the jury has named the MERIDA MISSION 10K a versatile all-rounder that delivers top-level performance in both gravel racing and all-road riding, bridging two dropbar worlds with one bike.”
