Expirience with the Merida ONE-FORTY 8000

Merida ONE-FORTY 8000 Review
Ludwig Döhl
The model name suggests 140 millimeters of suspension travel at the fork. But this is a deceptive maneuver by the Taiwanese brand Merida. Because the ONE-FORTY 8000 is equipped with lush 150 mm travel at the fork and thus also equipped for excursions into alpine terrain. The flat 65 degree head tube angle of the All Mountain von Merida gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the ONE-FORTY 8000. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other All Mountain 7499 Euro with higher quality components. With a total weight of 14,65 kg, the All Mountain von Merida is one of the heavier All Mountain that you get for under above 8000 Euro. But one should not underestimate that wheels are extremely important for the riding experience on the trail. Merida knows this and installed higher quality than the competitors at the price of 7499 Euro . The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Merida sizing runs big.
