Merida One-Forty 600 review

Aug 2020

The Merida One-Forty 600 is an entry-level, mid-travel 27.5" trail bike from the company's extensive full suspension bike range. It gets the same suspension linkage as the long travel bikes for a bottomless feel, but it's coupled with dated geometry – and an undergunned fork that lets the bike down.

Lows

Merida One-Forty 800 first ride review

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

Merida One-Forty 800, Reviewed and Rated

Jan 2018

This one is a real live wire! Merida's new One-Forty is the ideal 'everyman's trail bike' - tough, confident, low-fuss and excellent value for money too. It's a real contender for bike of the year at this price point.

Highs
  • Ideal trail bike handling.

  • Great spec choices.

  • Value for money is tops.

Lows
  • No tubeless tape or valves.
