For This Bike
Sep 2019
This value-priced endurance road bike is everything you need to get into road cycling.
Crisp shifting and a big gear range
Comfortable riding position
Heavy, not responsive

The Merit won’t win any races, but between the versatility and the Ultegra build, it’s a solid group-ride machine at a great price.
