Résumé

The Merida Ninety-Six is a cross-country bike praised for its lightweight frame, well-sorted suspension with excellent traction and sensitivity, and modern geometry that enhances handling and versatility. It offers impressive value with high-level components, though some reviews note issues with the TwistLoc lockout and inconsistent brakes. The bike excels in technical terrain and racing scenarios, balancing efficiency and comfort effectively.

Pros
  • Lightweight and stiff frame

  • Well-sorted suspension with good traction and sensitivity

  • Modern geometry for improved handling

  • High value with quality components

  • Dual bottle cage capability

Cons
  • Issues with TwistLoc lockout

  • Inconsistent or squealing brakes

  • Geometry may feel outdated in some aspects

  • Cockpit can be too low and narrow

  • Suspension lacks sensitivity in certain builds

Key Quotes
The benefits of traction and fatigue reduction are very clear too, combined with the low weight, to make epic marathons or flat out technical circuit speed a lot easier.
Bike Perfect logoBike Perfect
Merida has refocused their short travel full-suspension bike for more fun, all-day versatility, and speed when the trails get rough.
Bikerumor logoBikerumor
It’s lighter, snappier and more agile than your typical trail bike, with excellent pop that’ll have you skipping and jumping your way down far more technical trails than a 100mm travel bike should really be on.
Flow Mountain Bike logoFlow Mountain Bike
The suspension and geometry have both feet firmly planted in XC racing.
MBR logoMBR
No doubt this bike feels cohesive; it's a proper case of the whole being as good or better than the sum of the parts.

Merida Ninety-Six 8000 review

juil. 2021

The down-country Merida Ninety-Six RC8000 delivers do-it-all, full-suspension competence with high-level spec and performance at a reasonable price. Merida Ninety-Six RC 9000 review All-new XC tyres and shoes from Specialized Santa Cruz's XC machine gets revamped for 2021 'Down-country' is the recently adopted term for an XC full-suspension bike that's been tweaked to offer more poise and ability when the terrain gets technical and gravity kicks in. In real terms, this means a slacker geometry, longer suspension travel and bigger profile tyres over its RC9000 brother.

Merida Ninety-Six 8000 Review | A pocket rocket XC bike with heaps of attitude

mai 2021

Standing out like a sore blue thumb, the new Merida Ninety-Six 8000 is a 100mm travel XC bike that's pumped up with a bigger fork, aggressive rubber and more powerful braking. What effect does that have on the trail? And what kind of rider is it best suited to? Read on for our Merida Ninety-Six review.

Points forts
  • Supple, active and progressive suspension performance

  • Low weight and sprightly handling gives it a load of spunk

  • Massive confidence for a 100mm travel XC bike

  • The SID Ultimate fork is brilliant

  • Aggressive, idiot-proof rubber

  • Dual bottle capability

Points faibles
  • Wider bars please

  • TwistLoc remote struggles to stay in place

  • Front hub would benefit from Torque Caps

  • Headset cable routing adds servicing complexity
