The Merida ONE-TWENTY 8000 goes against convention and delivers a versatile trail rocket that turns even the most boring trails into a playground.
Precise handling and engaging suspension
Great Spec for Trail Fun
Paint chips easily
Prologo saddle unpopular with all testers

Jul 2019 · Alan Muldoon
By using wheelsize specific frames for the size S and M bikes, Merida gives riders the option of 27.5in or 29in wheels on the two smallest sizes.
Solid and fast
Needs a dropper post and better tyres

If you’ve got £2,000 to spend on a new bike and want a good all-round trail bike, you could do a lot worse than consider Merida’s One-Twenty 600. The 120mm travel 29er is a well-specced option with good geometry and suspension that combines to provide very good trail manners whether grinding up or slashing down. Best mountain bikes for under £3,000 - capable trail bikes that won't break the bank Is it worth converting your mountain bike to tubeless?

Fully redesigned for 2019, the new Merida One-Twenty is a lightweight 29er full suspension trail bike with a zippy and fun-loving attitude.

Feb 2019 · David Arthur
The One-Twenty is a short travel ripper that's surprisingly capable on the descents.
Fun and fast on the all-day rides and XC blasts
Impressively capable in the rough and technical stuff
Tough and burly equipment extends its range beyond traditional cross-country riding
Reach could be a touch longer
Travel will hold you back before geo and equipment does
The paint job and decals - sorry Merida, I’m not a fan

Jun 2015 · David Rome
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
