Merida One Twenty 9 400 Mountain Bike Glossy Anthracite/Silver

Description

The Merida One-Twenty 9 400 is a dynamic 29” dual suspension mountain bike that offers nimble handling on both long distance and a trail rides. The One-Twenty 9 400 is built with a superlite 6061 aluminium frame which gives you the ideal blend of durability and stiffness even when you spend all day in the saddle. The cables are routed internally so that they are protected from the elements, and the frame is given a second pass over weld to give it a sharp, carbon-like appearance. The tapered head tube creates superb stiffness and precise, reliable steering in combination with the Suntour XCR34 LOR fork with 130mm travel and lockout for any trail challenge. While the Float Link delivers sensitive response characteristics and the rear suspension system appears to offer more travel than the model name suggests.

The One Twenty 9 400 is equipped with the brand new 12 speed SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain for crisp shifting and reliable performance with the 1x12 setup. While the Shimano MT-200 Hydraulic Disc Brakes will give you complete control over your braking power in any conditions. This bike rolls on Merida Comp rims and Maxxis Forekaster 2.35” tyres for an excellent mix of speed and grip when you need it, giving this bike the versatility you need.

The Merida One Twenty 9 400 is awesome value for a dual suspension mountain bike with its playful characteristics giving you an awesome ride out on the dirt. SRAM’s new 12 speed SX Eagle drivetrain really delivers in combination with the suspension system and high-quality aluminium frame. This bike is built for any challenge, all day, any day.

Features

Float Link Rear Suspension: The lower shock mount moves with the system to deliver sensitive response characteristics. Our engineers can precisely influence the transmission ratio and progression meaning a ‘Float Link’ rear suspension system appears to offer more travel than the model name suggests.

Superlite 16 Alloy: Our latest grade of aluminium (6016) enables super thin wall thicknesses whilst delivering amazing strength, ideal for demanding off-road riding and racing.

X-Taper Headtube: Using a tapered head tube with 1 1/8" bearings in the top and 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" in the bottom creates superb stiffness and precise, confidence inspiring steering.

Internal Cable: Cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. The bike looks neat, whilst the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

Smooth Welding: Sometimes called ‘double pass welding’, a second pass over the weld gives a clean organic look to the frame. At first glance you will be convinced it is carbon.

Smart Entry: Cables, housings and brake hoses are clamped under tension to prevent rattling when the trail gets rough. All inlets are completely interchangeable to deal with Di2, hydraulic hoses, brake cable and gear cable housings etc.

12-142 Thru-Axle: Selected front forks use a 100 mm wide through axle 12 or 15 mm in diameter to increase lateral stiffness. A 142 mm wide 12 mm rear axle fixed directly into the frame increases rear end stiffness whilst simplifying wheel removal and replacement.

C-S Post Mount Disc: Post mount disc brake calipers fit directly onto the seat stay for a strong and light connection whilst a chainstay post mount positions the caliper on the chainstay within the rear triangle for extra protection and better distribution of braking forces. Another benefit is that internal cable routing is also easier and neater via the chainstay.

15-100 Thru-Axle: Selected front forks use a 100 mm wide through axle 12 or 15 mm in diameter to increase lateral stiffness. A 142 mm wide 12 mm rear axle fixed directly into the frame increases rear end stiffness whilst simplifying wheel removal and replacement.
