Jun 2018 · Guy Kesteven

The new Merida One-Forty 800 is chunky on the scales as a complete package and okay rather than outstanding value on paper.

Highs
  • Outstandingly connected yet still playful ride quality, superb suspension and tyres, one of the best mid-travel bikes we’ve ridden

Lows
  • Relatively heavy, you can get a similar spec for less cash

Highs
  • Sturdy, tough feeling construction.

  • Great value build kit.

Lows
  • Rims aren't taped for tubeless out of the box.
