Merida Ninety-Six 7.800 (2017)

The 2017 Merida Ninety-Six 7.800 is a mid-range full-suspension cross-country mountain bike. Buit on a light aluminum frame, it rips on the flats and climbs like a goat, offering exceptional power transfer. Shimano's SLX drivetrain is a stalwart performer, working seamlessly with the Deore hubs; laced to light, tough alloy hoops and clad in Conti X-King treads, they spin up fast and hold on tight. Fox suspension delivers 100mm of travel front and rear, the Float Performance equipped with remote lockout for the trip to the trailhead.
A very good cross-country bike.
