Merida One-Forty 8000

Trail riding has evolved a long way in a short space of time, but our ONE-FORTY 8000 represents a radical shift in what such a bike can be expected to do. The lightweight, all-carbon frame has a hyper-modern trail geometry to deliver out-of-this-world climbing performance with utterly planted downhill capability thanks to our test and award-winning sizing system that pairs riders perfectly with the handling they want. Full 29er wheels and Fox Performance suspension plus SRAM GX T-Type wireless drivetrain offer flawless performance to match.

The test and award-winning ONE-FORTY is the ultimate trail bike, made for the toughest trails in the world. It’s the pinnacle of modern trail riding, with a super-steep 80° seat angle, low front end and bottom bracket allow it to clear the most technical climbs, while longer reach figures across all sizes and a well-balanced 65° head angle mean it’s still more than capable of ripping any descent. With our AGILOMETER sizing system, riders can run a longer or shorter reach frame independently of their height, with suspension that becomes more progressive as you size up to better cope with heavier/harder riders. We’ve focussed on weight reduction and rolling speed too, for improved efficiency. All bikes come with long travel dropper posts, WIRE PORT cable routing and a reliable threaded bottom bracket plus carbon frames have on-board tool storage and Fidlock magnetic bottle cages.
