The hardcore cousin of the One-Sixty 6000 MBUK's Enduro Bike of the year. Of the One-Sixty 6000 they said: "it was the Merida’s proportions, supportive suspension and electrifying ride feel that finally clinched it.“The fun we had riding some of the gnarliest trails around Dolceacqua, skimming over jagged rocks and drifting loose turns, meant it had to be the winner.”Totally planted, thoroughly sorted and outrageously capable. Merida's design team have taken that prize winning pedigree and turned up the fun to 11. Built for ripping bike parks, the One-Sixty FR comes mullet across all sizes and delivers more travel;180mm up front and 171mm of coil sprung travel at the rear. The essence of the One-Sixty FR is full on fun at a value for money price, these bikes are not garage queens, they are for endless hours of sending it, Based around a tough aluminium frame the component selection is focussed on delivering the best tyres, brakes and suspension possible at the price, not on lightweight kit that won't last the course. The One-Sixty FR is designed for the toughest possible conditions and is rated to Category 5 and comes with a 5 year frame warranty. The Agilometer sizing concept takes account of riding style, allowing riders to run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, while suspension becomes more progressive as you size up, all with long-travel dropper posts. Wire Port cable routing plus reliable threaded bottom bracket round out the package,
