The One-Twenty is a hugely capable do everything bike, happy on day long XC rides or sessioning technical trails. At its heart is the same frame concept that Bike Radar / MBUK gave Merida double honours when they crowned the One-Sixty 6000 Enduro bike of the year and the One-Forty 700 Trail bike of the year. The One-Twenty uses the same LITE aluminium frame as the One-Forty 700 with 130mm of suspension travel at both ends and adjusted geometry appropriate to the all rounder usage. Key numbers are a 66 degree head tube angle and 78.5 degree seat angle, 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. Wire Port cable routing plus reliable threaded bottom bracket round out the package.
