Times are changing – and with them the demands of passionate All-Mountain bikers: Today, these riders demand a little more suspension travel for tackling also the most challenging technical trails or tough Alpine crossings with maximum fun. As a matter of course, the bike must be light enough also for longer uphills while especially its chassis has to be rugged enough for rough rides. So here you are: MERIDA has revised the ONE-FORTY completely for 2013 and presents an All-Mountain fully with 145 mm rear suspension travel – plus “VPK”, our very own kinematics interpretation of a chassis with virtual pivot point. This concept’s advantages such as superb downhill qualities, drivetrain neutrality and especially full braking neutrality make our new ONE-FORTY an ideal device for AM fun.
