Merida Ninety-Six 7.600 (2017)

The 2017 Merida Ninety-Six 7.600 is a mid-range full-suspension cross-country bike. Built on a light, responsive aluminum frame, the 7.600 is smoothly suspended front and rear with RockShox, delivering 100mm of travel and exquisite sensitivity to smaller bumps and ripples. Kit is populated with reliable performers: the Shimano mix drivetrain includes an SLX Shadow rear derailleur, braking is most capably provided by the M447 hydraulic discs, and the wheels are clad in Maxxis' all-round Ikon tires.
A good cross-country bike.
