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  • Geometry may feel outdated in some aspects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.
