Merida 22 One Sixty 500

You shouldn't have to spend a fortune to get a bike that can handle anything from enduro racing to epic mountain descents or twisty bike parks

The all-new ONE-SIXTY 500, with the new geometry associated with suspension design in a sturdy all-aluminum frame with components that offer high performance. A RockShox Yari fork and Deluxe shock absorber can tackle all terrain to the fullest, while Shimano four-piston brakes and a wide-range drivetrain are strong and consistent. Evolution or revolution? How about both? The ONE-SIXTY 2022 has a completely new and radical design that pushes the enduro product to new levels. The new suspension system uses a flexstay design with an adjustable rocker arm, so whether you choose to use it as a full 29er configuration (162 mm travel) or mixed 29/27.5” (171 mm travel), the geometry is preserved. Seat tube angle of 79° and a head angle of 64° plus a 170 mm fork to tackle the chaos of downhill trails. The new sizing allows riders to have a longer or shorter reach frame regardless of their height, while the suspension becomes more progressive as you go up in size, all with long travel telescopic seatposts. The WIRE PORT cable routing and reliable threaded bottom bracket complete the package, while carbon frames offer integrated tool space and FidLock magnetic bottle cages.
