Merida's frame-building prowess is on full show here, and it's picked decent kit to plug in to it. It's not the most contemporary of shapes, but the combination of decent ride feel and good value means this is a great option for budding XC racers
Comfortable ride even on longer rides
Shimano’s XT gears performed faultlessly, giving precise, smooth shifting regardless of the conditions
Rode well on high-intensity fast rides too
The geometry isn’t the most contemporary – a slacker head angle and longer reach would improve descending performance
