Merida Ride 100 (2017)

The 2017 Merida Ride 100 is an entry-level road bike. Its light aluminum frame is paired with a carbon fork, providing a smooth ride, with relaxed geometry suitable for casual riders and long rides. Kit is a nice blend of performance and value: Shimano's Claris and Sora groups provide the drivetrain, FSA a compact crankset, and Maxxis the durable, fast-rolling Detonator tires, in 25mm offering just a little cushion too. Gearing is wide to welcome rides and riders of all types.
A good beginner's road bike.
