Merida Ninety-Six 7.7000 (2017)

The 2017 Merida Ninety-Six 7.7000 is a high-end full-suspension cross-country mountain bike. Its aggressive geometry is laid out in Merida's performance carbon blend, pairing well with RockShox suspension front and rear, offering 100mm of responsive travel. Kit is ace: componentry includes Shimano's ultra-reliable XT group, providing fast, clean shifts and precise braking control, Continental's speedy high-traction Race Kings, and a gorgeous pair of Fulcrum Racing wheels.
A very good cross-country bike.
