Merida Speeder 300 2025

Nov 2025

The Speeder lives up to its name – a nimble, flat-barred commuter, urban runabout or back lane blaster

Highs
  • Feels fast

  • Nimble handling

  • Comfortable riding position

  • Good spec for the money

Lows
  • Tyres are a bit stodgy

  • Quick release dropouts a bit 'old school'
