Summary
The Merida One Twenty is a trail bike that excels in agility and suspension performance, offering a comfortable and aggressive ride. It's praised for its fast and precise steering, effective suspension system, and climbing efficiency, though some reviews note limitations in tyre grip and geometry for more technical terrains. The bike presents a mix of modern trail capabilities with some compromises in build and component choices.
Fast and precise steering with a 68-degree head angle
Super supple ‘Float Link’ suspension for smooth trail performance
Effective seat tube angle and good climbing chain stays
Reliable Shimano M615 brakes
Modern, lively, and aggressive feel
Continental tyres lack grip in certain conditions
Conservative geometry affects downhill performance
Frequent bottoming out due to 120 mm travel
Build kit lacks desirability
Dropper post lever fouled on the Shimano brake clamp
The MERIDA ONE-TWENTY 7.800 is a rocketship, a bike to make your mates cry on undulating trails.
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineThe full-floating linkage of the ONE-TWENTY is incredible, allowing the suspension to work incredibly no matter what position you are in.
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineThe bike is battling with a severe personality complex – efficient XC operator or trail slaying agent?
off.road.ccThe suspension is sublime and more than ready for the aggressive geometry that 120mm trail bikes are sporting nowadays.

The MERIDA ONE-TWENTY 7.800 was the shortest travel bike in this group test, could it hold up with its longer legged competitors?
Aug 2017
The Merida One-Twenty 7.800 with its 120mm of travel sits nestled between the brand’s XC orientated full suss, the Ninety-Six and the slacker One-Forty trail bike. With the model line up of the One-Twenty split between 27.5” and 29er wheels and some disparity between the geometry and suspension capabilities, the bike is battling with a severe personality complex – efficient XC operator or trail slaying agent?

Just how much value has Merida packed into the One-Twenty 7.900? Tom investigates this sporty 120mm travel trail bike.

It’s an affordable trail bike with a quality frame. Despite an imperfect suspension package, it’s still a hoot to ride if you're on a budget
