41 MERIDA’s company founder Ike Tseng (1932–2012) was a very honourable person and a real visionary. During a trip through the USA at the beginning of the 1970s, he discovered a note at the door of a bike shop stating that not any bikes from Taiwan were accepted for repair due to bad quality. This annoyed Ike Tseng – and already shortly afterwards in September 1972, the first production plant of his company Merida Industry Co., Ltd. was opened in Yuanlin (Taiwan). The man whose life motto was “move with passion and courage” chose the name “Merida” intentionally: The rough translation of the three syllables “Me-Ri-Da” means that the company’s intention is to manufacture only beautiful and high-quality products enabling anyone to reach her or his destination as pleasantly as possible. But Ike Tseng wouldn’t have been himself if he had been satisfied with the successful realization of his plan to be able to offer high-quality bikes “Made in Taiwan”. So in 1988, he took the second big step by launching the independent brand MERIDA: In accordance with the corporate philosophy, the frames of a complete range of sophisticated and internationally recognized bikes should be graced deservedly by the three syllables “Me-Ri-Da”. In 2013, MERIDA celebrates its 41th anniversary – and justifiably so, we are very proud to live up to the expectations of our founder. By combining an experienced German R&D centre with excellent Taiwanese production competence, MERIDA is able to satisfy demanding bikers with everything imaginable – models for children, e-bikes or high-end racing machines. We are especially proud of the fact that MERIDA lives up to its ultimate athletic ambition every year by equipping elite pilots like the MTB riders of the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM or the pro road racers of the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA with top-level “working tools” scoring highest athletic honours very regularly. On the occasion of this successful quarter of a century, we are also proud to present our customers a new appearance of the brand MERIDA with Model Year 2014: MORE BIKE. Because a MERIDA always offers the essential “more” which gives you the pleasant feeling of having chosen the right bike.
Mr. Michael Tseng President & CEO Merida Industry Co., Ltd.
MORE Passion
You do see: a bicycle. A beautiful construction with a frame as reliable centrepiece, two wheels and many other components. You do not see: the soul of this bicycle. All those complex ideas behind the concept. All those long hours invested by a lot of dedicated people before you can ride this MERIDA bicycle. All those intensive discussions, precise drawings, dismissed thoughts and tough test runs on prototypes. You do not see: the welders, the varnishers, the busy hands of the mechanics, the warehouse staff or the quality management. You do not see: our great passion. But it is exactly this passion which distinguishes a MERIDA from all other bicycles. Since company founder Ike Tseng opened his first production plant in 1972, each and every MERIDA bike has been representing his spirit and his credo “Move with passion and courage!” So we are still moving forward – always driven by the convictions that each and every MERIDA model has to become a very special one. Because in the end, it is determined to become your bike! That’s why the experienced engineers and designers of the German R&D headquarters co-operate very closely with our competent Taiwanese production experts – right from the very first blueprints and during all following working stages. No CAD drawing remains untuned, no question about the possible specifications of the respective bike model remains unanswered – not to forget: globally in 77 countries whose distributors always observe the respective national markets and trends with ultimate attention. That’s why they already know today what you as a MERIDA customer will desire tomorrow. Only due to this fact, we are able to offer you a wide range of excellent bikes which carries rightly and proudly the MERIDA signet on the head tube and our logo on the down tube. After a quarter of a century, MERIDA stands for bicycles “Designed and Engineered in Germany, Made in Taiwan“ – and thus for the close interlocking of world-class technological know-how, premium manufacturing competence and the dedication of countless staff members all over the planet. MORE PASSION. MORE BIKE.
“Countless steps are necessary until a sudden idea becomes a great bike. Around the world, thousands of MERIDA staff members believe in this idea from the outset and do their really best to realize it with perfection.” Daniel Schwenk Senior R&D Manager MERIDA

MORE Innovation
From day one, MERIDA has been following the objective to design bikes with a unique and progressive character. Bikes which represent all advantages of Taiwan’s second-largest bike manufacturer but never look or feel like mass products. Bikes which are as individual as you – as the MERIDA customer. Therefore the list of MERIDA’s very own top-level technologies is very long and still growing. For example, as one of the world’s first manufacturers, MERIDA trusted in HFS for the creation of aluminium tubes. The “Hydroforming System” allows for exciting frame shapes by moulding the raw material with hot oil under high pressure. Thanks to HFS, MERIDA bikes stand out from the mass of conventional aluminium bikes and convince with very inspiring designs. But our modern MERIDA technologies do not only define the look of your personal bike: Sophisticated carbon production concepts such as “Double Chamber Technology”, “Bio Fiber Damping Compound” or “Flex Stay” rear stays help our experienced engineers and designers to develop high-tech machines with world-class performance. That’s why pro athletes like the MTB riders of the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM or the road racers of the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA utilize these impressive advantages of our premium bikes within the international world of professional sports. The convenient overview on pages 24 and 25 informs you at a glance about all technologies utilized by MERIDA in the current Model Year 2014. But continuous innovation at MERIDA does not only mean the successful utilization of cutting-edge frame technologies: We always pay equal and full attention to the fact that all production processes are thoroughly modern or that e. g. also our suppliers’ work attitude is as demanding and passionate as our own one. Therefore the engineers of our German R&D headquarters travel to Asia regularly to accompany all manufacturing steps and to guarantee that all MERIDA innovations really become your personal advantage in the end. MORE INNOVATION. MORE BIKE.
“At MERIDA, our German R&D headquarters works hand in hand with the production in Taiwan – each party contributes its special strengths. In this way, we consistently guarantee top-level qualities for each of our technologies.” Jürgen Falke Juergen Falke, Director of Products MERIDA

MORE SUCCESS
For more than a decade now, MERIDA has been acting very successfully as title sponsor and material supplier of the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM: Besides World and European Championship titles, our pro MTB riders have also won Olympic Gold and Silver. In early 2013, this intensive pro sports commitment was extended in form of the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA. So for the very first time since the market launch 25 years ago, our bikes prove themselves weekly and globally in the no-compromise worlds of professional off-road biking and road racing. For MERIDA, the investments in connection with these sponsorships mean definitely much more than just a question of global marketing: Like in the Formula 1, the very close cooperation between experienced engineers and passionate pro athletes generates highly valuable knowledge which is utilized directly for new projects. A current example is the special chain stay construction of our 27.5” MTB hardtail BIG.SEVEN (new for 2014): It results from our MTB pros’ feedback to achieve even more comfort and therefore even less exhaustion during technically demanding downhills (especially when riding out-of-saddle) – an objective which was realized impressively by the highly competent R&D department around Juergen Falke, MERIDA’s Head of Design. Another successful example for meticulous knowledge transfer from the professional biking sector is our innovative comfort road racer RIDE SL (also new for 2014): Its special rear stay construction offers not only a lot of comfort but also enough space for extra-wide 28 mm tyres. This corresponds to the pro road racers’ wish to conserve a certain degree of remaining comfort for extremely tough stages on long cobbled sections (e. g. at the famous classic races in Belgium) – and therefore to save enough pedal power to win even the longest stage in the end. You as a MERIDA customer benefit directly from the energysapping performance of our pro athletes. Because whenever José Hermida or Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjå rush over toughest cross-country courses or Filippo Pozzato celebrates a stage win at a UCI WorldTour race: Their success is our motivation – and therefore your advantage! MORE SUCCESS. MORE BIKE.
“Since 2002, I’ve always been able to rely on MERIDA. No matter which challenge to master: The material performs at premium level. My current World Champion bike is the BIG.NINE – downright perfect for marathons.” Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja reigning Marathon World Champion

Big.Seven 27.5 Inch
27.5“ MTBs close the gap between the meanwhile established Twentyniners and the classic 26” variants. The new wheelset size (a.k.a. 650B) offers the well-proven agility and manoeuvrability of the latter while convincing also with Twentyniner-like advantages: Improved rolling performance as well as more traction and comfort open a great new MTB dimension for all those bikers who do not want to use 29” wheels.
“ The BIG.SEVEN convinces not only with a great look but also and especially with impressive performance data: Particularly the rearstay comfort reaches new dimensions within the hardtail sector. ”
The now lower attachment position of the seat stays provides more free moving space for the section holding the seat post. In addition, the BIG.SEVEN’s rear stay features the well-proven “Bio Fiber Damping Compound” technology which absorbs vibrations optimally via natural flax fibres inside the carbon matrix. Established MERIDA technologies such as the well-proven “Tapered Steerer” (increasing from 1 1/8“ at the top to 1.5“ at the bottom) for maximum head tube stiffness at lowest possible weight, the mighty BB30 bottom bracket for optimum pedalpower transfer or the robust thru-axle at the rear stay for increased stiffness and quick rear wheel mounting without drag represent the thoroughbred high-speed genes of our new BIG.SEVEN – not only as the working tool of the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM. In its premiere season, the MERIDA BIG.SEVEN is available in 21 exciting versions: From the superb starter model BIG.SEVEN 20, the sensational TFS variants with frame shapes manufactured by complex “Techno Forming System” processing and our amazing LITE series looking as attractive as the carbon frames up to the ultra-light pro edition BIG.SEVEN CF TEAM – for every new 27.5” MTB fan, MERIDA opens an individual way to the convincing new wheelset size.
Eduardo Pacheco-Hoepfl Product Designer MERIDA
Like a cobra ready to attack: Especially in the design of the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM, our new 27.5” model BIG.SEVEN presents itself as an ultimate highlight for racers and all hardtail fans within the 2014 MERIDA program. The BIG.SEVEN has been thoroughly tested by our elite MTB pros and has been developed together with them. This bike offers many advantages and features which position it as a genuine “stand-alone” solution between the well-established hardtails O.NINE and BIG.NINE. Generally, the new wheelset size of 27.5“ is an excellent recommendation for all those off-road riders who consider 29“ MTBs as e. g. too big, too sluggish or not agile enough but who want to enjoy the physical advantages offered by bigger wheel dimensions in comparison to 26” variants nevertheless. With its outer rim diameter of 584 mm, the so-called “650B” wheel dimension tends towards the 559 mm of a classic 26” version (+ 25 mm) while still going in the Twentyniner direction (662 mm; - 38 mm), too. Impressive result: Such 27.5” bikes delight with the great agility and manoeuvrability of smaller wheelsets but provide the improved rolling, traction and comfort characteristics of their bigger-wheeled MTB brothers as well. However, our BIG.SEVEN is definitely much more than “just another” new 27.5” bike: Besides all general advantages of this wheelset
size, it offers a lot of unique technological highlights – developed by the experienced MERIDA engineers in close cooperation with the pro athletes of the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM. Thus our BIG.SEVEN ranges among the most sophisticated hardtails of this new generation. Right at very first sight, the downright clean look of our BIG.SEVEN fascinates the eye of the beholder. Besides the extravagant and edged frame shape, this bike’s unique appearance results primarily from two absolute novelties in MERIDA’s history: All cables – the gear cable as well as the rear brake tube – are routed precisely inside the frame. On the other hand, the rear disc brake mount has been relocated into the frame triangle between seat and chain stay. The internal routing especially guarantees a consistently excellent and constantly reliable top-level performance which is not affected by outside influences such as water, mud or dust. The new position of the brake calliper extends the effective self-supporting length of the rear stays and therefore enhances their flex potential – a major postulate of the MERIDA elite bikers especially with regard to downhills which require riding out-of-saddle. This is also supported by the stay design: The less high but instead broader rear stay absorbs vertical shocks even better. This increased flex gets further support from the also re-designed connection between the seat stays and the seat tube:
1 1 Comfort saves power MERIDA’s own in-house “Flex Stay” technology enables outstanding comfort data at the hardtail rearstay. This reduces the strain on the rider and therefore saves pedal power. 2 Tidy and immune Internal cable routing does not only refine a bike’s look but guarantees also a top functionality very practically and for a long time via reduced outside influences. 3 Intelligent details The BIG.SEVEN’s rear brake mount is positioned within the frame triangle. This improves the flexibility of the chain stay and thus the rearstay comfort.

One-Forty-B Virtual Pivot Kinematics
Virtual Pivot Kinematics: Our R&D department’s very own interpretation of a rear stay with a virtual pivot point offers many essential advantages. This sensitive as well as drivetrain-neutral construction is an optimally suitable chassis solution for our long-travel fullies. That’s why all MERIDA bikes with 140 mm or larger suspension travels feature this convincing concept – and thus also our brand-new 27.5” fully ONE-FORTY-B.
cable and wire routing as well as a modified chain stay guard. The latter does not only offer genuine all-round protection for the very first time (a really essential advantage for AM riders on difficult terrain): It also provides precise gear cable routing in rearward direction. At the same time, the new solution also saves two sockets for cable retainers – less a question of weight reduction than one of a clean look. “Clean” is also the capital heading of the great novelty revealed by our new ONE-FORTY-B as soon as the bike is turned upside-down: Compared to the 2013 model, all cables with the exception of the brake tube are optimally protected by precise routing inside the frame. Directly below the bottom bracket, the connections run through a reliably locked but big and easily accessible opening. Besides the preparation for seat posts lowerable by remote control (also “stealth” versions can be installed), the MERIDA R&D department has equipped the new 27.5” fully with a shifter cable divided into three parts. This intelligently engineered element does not only offer visual advantages: Thanks to a special double-stop solution directly before and after the bottom bracket, the shifter cable follows a defined line when the rear stay moves due to deflection. This avoids ugly lacquer scratches caused by friction as well as bothersome “ghost shifting” (unintentional shifting under load) very effectively.
“The mix of VPK rearstay, clever cockpit and bigger wheels makes the ONE-FORTY-B a genuine All-Mountain bike: Agility and manoeuvrability plus plenty of traction and downhill safety. A reliable fun device!” Reynaldo Ilagan Product Manager MERIDA
Already since Model Year 2013, MERIDA has been trusting in “Virtual Pivot Kinematics” (VPK) in the case of MTBs with more than 120 mm suspension travel at the rear. As chassis construction basing on a rear stay with a virtual pivot point, VPK combines an ultra-sensitive response characteristic with maximum drivetrain neutrality. The chassis always stays completely active even under full brake load and delights also with a minimum of bobbing during pedalling. In combination with the new wheelset dimension of 27.5”, the members of our MERIDA R&D department have scored the next great success in the All-Mountain fully sector for Model Year 2014: The ONE-FORTYB is the systematic further development of our 140 mm bike on cutting-edge technology level. In full compliance with the new MERIDA brand claim “MORE BIKE”, our ONE-FORTY-B indeed offers much more than its 26” predecessor: Thanks to the larger wheelset diameter (+ 25 mm), the new All-Mountain fully features e. g. longer chain stays which extend the rear stay’s effective suspension travel to 145 mm – of course in brilliant harmony with the robust 150 mm suspension fork*. Due to this excellent combination, our new ONE-FORTY-B shows a potent and well-balanced handling performance in every imaginable situation. After test rides arranged in advance during the MERIDA Press Camp on Majorca island in early 2013, this was already confirmed by competent ex-
perts: The German MountainBIKE magazine attested “enduro character” and “great riding fun” (MB 5/13) while the bike magazine (Germany) added the “convincing running smoothness” of the ONE-FORTY-B (bike 4/13). 1
As a characteristic representative of the All-Mountain MTB category, the ONE-FORTY-B is mainly designed for downhill riding. Nevertheless, its well-balanced construction is optimally suitable for climbing as well. To achieve an optimum geometry for this impressive mix, the MERIDA R&D experts have devised and tested countless constructions – simultaneously supported by just as many meticulous test rides on typical All-Mountain terrain. Important conclusion: The stem length defines the handling performance of an AM fully – especially for maximum downhill control, a short stem is absolutely essential. All frame sizes of our ONE-FORTY-B hence feature a stem length of only 60 mm; in return, the top tube is much larger now compared to the predecessor. The superb handling is complemented by the flat steering angle of only 67° which delights trail-surfing AM riders with excellent and super-safe tracking. During challenging uphills, the steep seating angle of 73° allows the highly effective power transfer to the pedals. The MERIDA engineers have integrated two decisive innovations into the heart of the ONEFORTY-B concept: An intelligent solution for
1 Elegant and functional The “Virtual Pivot Kinematics” rearstay of the ONE-FORTY-B is more than just a visual highlight: It guarantees an outstanding chassis performance. 2 Cleaned up Hidden from direct view, always immune against dirt and water – but with optimal access: The ONE-FORTY-B’s new cable routing does set benchmarks. 3 Short and superb Short stems provide maximum trail fun. As a consequence of this fact, MERIDA equips all frame sizes of the ONE-FORTY-B with a 60 mm cockpit.

Reacto EVO Ride PRO Road Race / TOUR
In the MERIDA model year 2014, all fans of road machines can look forward to two exciting carbon novelties. Both have been developed for and in close cooperation with the pro riders of the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA: The next evolutionary step REACTO EVO lifts our racer – so far a semi-aero bike – up to the level of a true aero specialist. Simultaneously, our RIDE PRO proves that comfortable solutions can be amazingly fast.
“ For the pro riders of the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA, we have created road bikes at an ultimate high-end level. Finally, each MERIDA customer benefits from these experiences: The technologies pervade our complete product program. ”
The RIDE PRO (also new for 2014) shows similarities to cars with an off-road chassis setup: This new comfort racer combines the best qualities of the SCULTURA SL with the impressive virtues of the comfortable RIDE COMP. Thus our new RIDE PRO is the TEAM LAMPREMERIDA’s primary working tool for absolving races on rough roads. Its extremely flat seat stays (construction height just 10 mm) which are connected to the seat tube at a very low position provide excellent rear stay flex. In addition, the utilized “Bio Fiber Damping Compound” technology guarantees effective absorption of all vibrations which are transferred from the road to the wheel. The agile “Flex Stay” rear stay allows tyre widths up to 28 mm. The new fork of the RIDE PRO reveals its comfort already at very first sight: The sophisticated construction with integrated “Double Chamber” technology provides brilliant handling precision in combination with perceptible shock absorption – especially on really rough surfaces, which means that the athlete gets exhausted clearly much later. As very first carbon road racer in MERIDA’s line-up history, the RIDE PRO is also prepared for the installation of fenders for the wet season. Further on, compatibility to all mechanical and electrical drivetrain groups made by Shimano, Sram or Campagnolo is given as well.
Daniel Schwenk Senior R&D Manager MERIDA
Since MERIDA has joined the UCI WorldTour as title sponsor of the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA in early 2013, much has been happening in the wide range of road racer models. Already since the previous year, the SCULTURA SL enriches our program as an excellent high-end-racer which has by now been able to establish itself successfully in the “Champions League of Road Racing”. For 2014, two downright competent specialists are added: As a thoroughbred aero machine, the REACTO EVO matches our elite athletes’ demand for the perfect working tool for sprints, solo escapes and hill climb time trial. On the other hand, the RIDE PRO is optimally suitable for the tough challenges of the famous “cobblestone classics” where speed is primarily defined via comfort. Already at very first sight, it becomes evident that the REACTO EVO is designed even more aerodynamic from MY 2014: Within the strict UCI development limitations, the aerodynamically optimized “Fastback” profiles with their characteristic drop shape enable an ideal airflow all around the REACTO EVO – and therefore offer even better aerodynamic properties in comparison to the semi-aero concept of the previous model. But not only the frame shape has a direct effect on the air resistance – especially the fork design and the brakes’ positions were also in focus with regard to “streamlining”. As far as the fork was concerned, the MERIDA R&D experts completely trusted in the concept
of three separate inflow components which was successfully tested in the wind tunnel for the WARP TT (see pages 20 and 21): The two fork blades are positioned especially far away from each other so that they and the front wheel rotating in between each become separate inflow bodies – with the advantage that unwanted turbulences are effectively reduced within this area hit by a nearly laminar inflow. The system is complemented by the utilization of the new brake standard: Thanks to direct mounting, the front brake’s integration into the complete system works in an aerodynamically optimum way and without any loss of braking power. The same concept applies to the rear brake directly positioned behind the bottom bracket. But not only with regard to air resistance, our REACTO EVO presents itself as a genuine high-end road racer: Its “Tapered Steerer” (increasing from 1 1/8” at the top to 1.5” at the bottom) and the torsion-resistant BB386 bottom bracket transfer every impulse of the rider directly onto the asphalt. At the same time, the bike remains remarkably light due to its frame weight just above 1000 g. The well-proven “S-Flex” seat post optimizes the already high comfort of the rear stay; thanks to its pivoted head, the post enables an individual adjustment of the seating angle (72-75°). Internal routing of all cables as well as a top tube with integrated seatpost clamp perfect our REACTO EVO’s clean appearance.
1 1 Keeps things quiet The special design of our RIDE PRO’s “Double Chamber” carbon fork absorbs road unevennesses very effectively. 2 Saves energy reserves Top performance also on rough surfaces? The flexible “S-Flex” seatpost of the REACTO EVO reduces the athlete’s muscular exhaustion in spite of the stiff aero profile. 3 Low-bed stays Seatstays as a comfort factor: The lowly attached stays of the RIDE rearstay have an extremely flat shape (only 10 mm) and offer perceptible damping.

Warp TT Time Trial
A high-tech bike full of exciting technologies: Our WARP TT is the new time trial machine in the 2014 MERIDA program. Not without reason, already the name of this carbon rocket sounds like space flight: The carbon TT specialist has been optimized in the wind tunnel and is the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA’s favourite when its members fight for seconds – thanks to the complete technological know-how of our R&D experts.
„ Time trail means the sole concentration on the fundamental objective of not losing any millisecond. Thus each detail of a TT machine plays an absolutely decisive role. As the impressive result of countless optimized details, the WARP TT does come near to perfection. “ Jürgen Falke Director of Products MERIDA
Carbon offers bike builders many advantages; one decisive aspect is that carbon-fibre structures can be turned into almost all imaginable shapes. This fact was successfully utilized by MERIDA with regard to the development of our new WARP TT – because since we have announced our UCI WorldTour commitment as the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA’s title and material sponsor, especially one objective has been clear from the outset: A top-level road racing team needs a complete armada of top-level working tools – including one of the world’s fastest TT machines. The MERIDA R&D specialists have drawn, constructed, tested and dismissed many various ideas for months. Because the UCI (International Cycling Union) has strict rules and standards for the official authorization of competition bikes: For example, the length-width-ratio of all frame parts must not extend a relation of 3:1 – an essential factor regarding tube crosssections with optimum aerodynamics. The solution: Sophisticated “Fastback” profiles whose cut drop shape allows optimal and turbulencefree passing of the incoming air. Countless tests in the wind tunnel finally resulted in the WARP TT’s cutting-edge frame design. But even more than that: The meticulous aerodynamic analysis also revealed that the remarkably broad fork with its blade distance of more than 60 mm performs optimally in terms of air resistance. Both fork blades as well as the front wheel are
TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA revealed a potential up to 10 %. Also our new WARP TT features the “Modular Head” system known from the previous MERIDA model TIME WARP. To match each rider’s individual demands by providing the best possible position for each required application, the cockpit offers three options for vertical installation: Thanks to the special “Modular Head” inserts, the handlebar unit can be positioned optimally at “0”, “+30 mm” or “+60 mm”. But besides these basic settings, especially the cockpit itself represents the WARP TT’s well-thought-out secret: This genuine in-house development of our German R&D competence centre enables thousands of individual adjustment positions. Two available base bar versions (width: 400 or 420 mm) provide a solid basis whose offset (35 respectively 15 mm) can be adjusted up- or downwards thanks to the highly functional flip-flop construction. The stem extends and complements the WARP TT’s top tube in a very elegant way; via Andy Muff’s patented ISA adjustment system, the base bar can be mounted with a length adjustment of 90, 100 or 110 mm. Furthermore, a complete Di2 solution can be installed inside the stem where all brake and shifter cables meet and are therefore not visible from the outside. The direct interface between handlebar and rider is optimally adjustable, too: The forearm rests as well as the extensions provide almost unlimited adjustment possibilities.
hit separately by the inflow; this avoids negative effects caused by the overlap of individual airflows. And, the achieved optimum value for the frontal inflow is not in the least affected by the front brake fixed via two bolts. Because MERIDA trusts in the newly established standard which provides perfect brake integration into the fork and guarantees an always optimum brake performance in comparison to many special solutions or in-house developments.
1 1 Ready to attack The WARP TT’s front end is uncompromisingly created for superb aerodynamics. Example: “Direct Mount” brakes slip through the wind optimally.
But our WARP TT does not only offer excellent aerodynamics: All cables are precisely routed inside the frame while the BB90 bottom bracket standard is fully compatible to established systems for performance measurement. The integrated seat post clamp (incl. post with flip-flop clamping) and the adjustable dropouts show our eye for detail. An integrated steering lock in the lower section of the “Tapered Steerer” (increasing from 1” to 1 1/8”) prevents fork and handlebar from colliding with the carbon main frame. Despite all those intelligent details, especially its impressive versatility characterizes our new WARP TT as a truly unique TT machine: To triumph reliably in the tough fight for seconds, maximally efficient bike design is just not enough – because the pilot’s individual position defines the total air resistance. With respect to this, many days of wind-tunnel testing with rider dummies and the pro athletes of the
2 Clever clamping Each detail counts: Thus the WARP TT features an integrated saddle clamping concept which does not cause any turbulences. 3 Countless options Our “Modular Head” plus a variable stem and a specifically constructed handlebar: The WARP TT offers the TT athlete almost unlimited possibilities for finding the optimal aero position.

Technologies Your advantages at a glance.
Nano Matrix Carbon
AWS – Anti Wrinkle System
Carbon bikes are often subject to considerable strain. To increase the quality of the used material, MERIDA utilizes this premium technology: The carbon mats are enriched with special nanoparticles which strengthen the matrix of the epoxy resin. In this way, the impact resistance of the final component construction can be increased successfully by up to 40 %. “Nano Matrix Carbon” refines all MERIDA high-end bikes of Model Year 2014.
Due to its technological characteristics, carbon provides designers and developers with many excellent possibilities which are not offered by other raw materials used for bike building (e. g. aluminium). The special surface structure is particularly fascinating – but what does happen inside the frame? MERIDA utilizes specific mould inserts which reduce the wrinkling considerably. Result: More stiffness and durability but less weight.
Bio Fiber Damping Compound
Flex Stay
Using nature as a role model, MERIDA refines the construction of different carbon components successfully with special bio flax fibres which impress particularly with one interesting feature: highly effective vibration damping. Like rigid carbon forks, the rearstays of road bikes or MTB hardtails turn into genuine comfort wonders when these natural fibres are woven into the per se torsion-resistant carbon matrix.
Road bikes and MTB hardtails lack a suspension system at the rear. In this way, they do not only reach their low weight but turn each pilot-provided watt into propulsion. Yet a rigid rearstay transmits any shocks directly to the rider as well – this affects the athlete’s performance potential. But not in the case of our “Flex Stay” seat and chain stays: Their special design absorbs surface bumps and reduces occurring vibrations.
Double Chamber Technology
Modular Head
Via a special reinforcement rib (such as in the full-carbon forks of road bikes), MERIDA competently combines two different technological characteristics which seem to be completely contradictory at the first sight: Outstanding torsion-stiffness data for maximum handling quality and safety on the one hand, a certain damping flexibility on the other. In this effective way, MERIDA forks become equally safe and comfortable.
Via the special inserts of MERIDA’s in-house “Modular Head” system, the WARP TT’s effective headtube length can be extended by 30 respectively 60 mm. Therefore each pilot is able to find the optimal position according to her or his individual requirements. While spacer solutions do not affect the headtube stiffness at best, the latter is higher in case of our WARP TT because the inserts increase the support length.
M.O.R.E. Suspension
VPK
The performance of fullsuspension MTB chassis changes with the frame size? Not at MERIDA – due to the “M.O.R.E Suspension” technology (“MERIDA Optimized Ride Engineering”)! Up to 120 mm travel, this concept marks all of our fullies designed as supported single-pivot constructions. Impressive result: Equally brilliant kinematics and drivetrain-neutrality in all frame sizes.
MERIDA’s in-house “Virtual Pivot Kinematics” rearstay system stands for full-suspension chassis with a virtual pivot point. VPK is utilized for the MTB models ONE-FORTYB, ONE-SIXTY and FREDDY. This concept ensures that all bikes of the 145, 160 or 180 mm category combine outstanding sensitivity with convincing drivetrain and braking neutrality in every imaginable situation.
22 Technologies
Structure Element
Carbon Fork
MERIDA carbon frames are ultra-resilient and as light as possible. This is enabled by the intelligent connection of the single segments via Tube-to-Tube technology or internal sleeve sockets – always optimum as required by individual load profile.
Rigid carbon front fork, in case of some models realized as full-carbon version. MERIDA carbon forks delight with outstanding vibration damping as well as with superb braking and lateral stiffness. Reliable steering and braking performance in every situation.
TFS – Techno Forming System
HFS – Hydro Forming System
Characteristics such as low weight still grant aluminium a strong position in frame manufacturing. Modern 3D shapes can be created by the mechanical TFS moulding process. Material: Racelite 6061 aluminium.
The mechanical TFS process works from the outside to the inside. In contrast, the complex Hydroforming concept shapes the frame by pushing hot oil under hydraulic high pressure from the inside to the outside. Material: Prolite 66 aluminium.
Racelite 6061 Aluminium
Prolite 66 Triple Butted Aluminium
Superbly solid and light alloy known from the aerospace sector. MERIDA makes the aluminium subject to an additional heat treatment. Thanks to double-butted wall thicknesses ideal for the production of light and stiff frames.
MERIDA’s premium alloy represents extremely durable and light aluminium of high-end quality. Triple-butted wall thicknesses result not only in exciting frame designs: First of all, they offer an optimum Stiffness-to-Weight (STW) ratio.
Shotgun 6061
X-Taper Headtube
The bottom side of MERIDA’s characteristic down tube features a specifically engineered twin profile. This enhances the bending and torsion stiffness perceptibly and measurably. Optimum solution especially for sporty aluminium bikes.
Externally butted headtube with a mighty 1.5“ steering bearing at the lower end and a weight-saving 1 1/8” steering bearing at the upper end; delivered with matching Taper Shaft fork. Results: Superb stiffness data and precise steering performance.
Smooth Welding
K-Mount Drop-Out
Besides top functionality, MERIDA frames also have to offer a convincing visual appearance. The second welding process during Smooth Welding evens the connecting welding seam – an elaborate concept for a brilliant look without compromises to stability.
Specifically designed brake disc dropout at aluminium frames with integrated mounting possibility for HEBIE rear stay kickstands. For optimum torsion stiffness also during tough braking – a perceptible safety plus!
Internal Cable
Lockout
Elaborately shaped frame designs with special inlets and outlets for internally routed brake and/or shifter cables. “Clean” in a double sense: The bike looks uncluttered while the cables are protected effectively from moisture and dirt.
The suspension fork and/or the shock unit of your MERIDA bike can be locked directly by moving a lever. This provides an optimum setup e. g. for rides on bumpy surfaces or for powerful sprints – not only during steeper uphill passages!
Remote Lockout
Thru Axle 12-142 Steckachse
The suspension fork and/or the shock unit of your MERIDA bike can be locked comfortably from the handlebar via remote lockout. An ideal feature especially for (racing) bikers who require super-fast switching between open and locked mode.
This torsion-resistant thru axle with a diameter of 12 mm is used for broad 142 mm rear stays. It delights with perceptible increase of stiffness, tool-free wheel mounting and an always ideal brake rotor position.
Post Mount Disc The friction-free alignment of the brake calliper is considerably eased by direct mounting of the post-mount calliper at the rear dropout. Adaptable to different brake disc sizes thanks to the utilization of differently dimensioned adapters.

Big Ninety-nine XC RACE / Marathon
Refining an already excellent concept is definitely not easy. However, the R&D experts at MERIDA master this task again and again – as proven by the 2014 upgrade of our highly successful BIG NINETY-NINE: This 100 mm fully rocket is even lighter now. At the same time, it combines all the Twentyniner benefits with all the full-suspension characteristics essential for MTB riders particularly on challenging terrain. In its premiere season as a carbon-aluminium hybrid model, the BIG NINETY-NINE has already thrilled lovers of fast tours. Now, especially racers on challenging courses will listen attentively: As the favoured working tool of our young MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM riders Thomas Litscher and Ondrej Cink, the new full-carbon version of the BIG NINETY-NINE convinces with impressive performance data: The frame weight of 1.9 kg* enables high-end setups ranging far below 10 kg in total – outstanding preconditions for fast XC or marathon laps! Thanks to the precise 68 Nm/° of its conical “X-Taper” steerer (increasing from 1 1/8” at the top to 1.5” at the bottom), the BIG NINETY-NINE offers superb handling control. The propulsion-effective BB stiffness of 75 N/mm is provided by the broad connection of down tube and bottom bracket. A 12 mm thru-axle at the rear ensures quick and precise wheel changing. The true racing character of our new BIG NINETY-NINE is also underlined by the kinematically sophisticated and completely lockable “M.O.R.E.” chassis for best possible response characteristics in all frame sizes. Most demanding race tracks, fastest laps: the MERIDA BIG.NINETY-NINE.

One-Twenty Marathon / Tour
No matter if general trends occasionally offer more than the classic 120 mm travel at front and rear to tour bikers: MERIDA consistently trusts in well-proven chassis systems which manage the balancing act between highest possible sensitivity and maximum travel utilization on the one hand and convincing drivetrain-neutrality on the other without any problems. Right at very first sight, the ONE-TWENTY’s organic design language radiates full readiness for great rides through pristine nature. But not only the visual appearance is brilliantly adapted to the routes you are going to tackle: The ONE-TWENTY fuses with the trail surface also in terms of construction. The main frame triangle as well as the rear stay consist of multi-butted and hydroformed “Prolite 66” aluminium. With the supported single-pivot concept, the MERIDA R&D specialists have successfully developed a chassis which feels “bigger” but can be pedalled as comfortably as versions with less suspension travel. No annoying pedal recoil, no excessive bobbing tendencies, neutral braking performance: Our ONE-TWENTY equally convinces uphill, downhill and on flat terrain. Thanks to the “X-Taper” headtube (increasing from 1 1/8” to 1.5”), this MERIDA MTB tourer guides its 120 mm fork safely through off-road territory. In addition, the bike offers superb tracking precision and can be slowed down with maximum safety. Furthermore, the rear stay dropouts enable the direct mounting of post-mount callipers which accept brake discs up to 160 mm without any adaptor. So what’s still missing? A low weight suitable for touring? Here you are: The ONE-TWENTY’s aluminium frame puts a maximum of 2.500 g on the scales. Wherever your tour may take you: MERIDA ONE-TWENTY

One-Forty-B All Mountain
“All-Mountain” says it all: all mountains. Riders who want to meet this demand must be multi-talented: An AM athlete needs endurance for flat uphills, enough power for steep ascents, a love for velocity on “flowy” trails and good steering skills for challenging downhills. And the bike? It has to support its pilot optimally. Thus it should be as light as possible and should offer traction in every situation. Moreover, it must convince with agility, tracking stability and downhill safety. Modern AM bikes are capable of all this – and in Season 2014, our 145 mm fully offers even more: With 27.5”, the ONE-FORTY-B complements its kinematic strengths by those of the new wheelset standard. So it rightly lays claim to the title “AllMountain”. The redesigned frame of our ONE-FORTY-B proves already right away that it is a cutting-edge representative of its category. The sophisticated rocker link graces the equally sensitive and drivetrain-neutral VPK chassis. The “absence” of cables and wires appears similarly graceful – because all control lines (incl. the remote control for the lowerable seatpost) are routed inside the frame for optimal protection. Thanks to the cleverly constructed opening near the bottom bracket, they can be accessed effortlessly for maintenance purposes. Still another detail attests the practical-minded AM affinity of our competent R&D experts: The short 60-mm-stem is part of all frame sizes and makes the always precisely tracking ONE-FORTY-B a true guarantor for fun. On each trail, downhill from every mountain. Do not miss anything: with the MERIDA ONE-FORTY-B.

One-Sixty ENDURO
Even if the name of Freeride bikes with their still larger suspension travel might imply actually more freedom: Enduro users are the real MTB adventurers! Because first of all, they want to reach the summit under their own steam to start an epic downhill run while most freeriders prefer shuttles or funiculars. This development of the enduro sport was enabled by the advancement of the material: Thanks to increasingly sophisticated chassis and particularly due to more and more weight reduction, these bikes open their pilots an almost boundless world. Taken for granted that they are as outstanding enduros as the MERIDA ONE-SIXTY. Our ONE-SIXTY has celebrated its premiere only last season and has thus been modified just slightly for 2014. This upgrade cannot be observed at once: It is the internal routing of the cables and wires which has been focussed by our inventive R&D experts. Except for the rear brake, all control lines are still routed safely inside the frame – but now in a completely frictionless way. This improves the bike’s visual appearance as well as its immunity against the amount of dirt and mud of the daily enduro routine. Also the remote control for the lowerable seatpost has cleverly been hidden from direct view. New: An opening near the bottom bracket provides formidable maintenance access to all cables and wires. The robust aluminium frame remains the reliable centrepiece of all ONE-SIXTY model versions: Its sensitive “VPK” chassis offers outstanding response characteristics at best possible neutrality. The Enduro bike for Enduro riders – MERIDA ONE-SIXTY.

Freddy FREERIDE
Okay: You want to master the short counter slope between two thrilling freeride runs by bike and still under your own steam. But otherwise, you are clearly up for something else: Shuttling uphill and then showing the downhill-slope force who rules the roost! If a full-protection suit and a full-face helmet fill your coat rack instead of thin summer jackets while your car is parked in the street because you need garage space for bikes, you first of all need one thing: a MERIDA FREDDY. Not least because our freeride-loving R&D engineers have turned some interesting screws again for 2014. Already in MY 2013, the new FREDDY has got standing ovations: Virtually all bike magazines attested the longtravel MERIDA bike a convincing potential. But standstill means setback – so there is an update for the new season. As for all 2014 MERIDA fullies with a “Virtual Pivot Kinematics” chassis, the cables and wires are routed inside the frame for friction-free protection. A special opening near the BB section provides optimal access for maintenance and replacement purposes. In addition, the FREDDY’s already formidable downhill performance could be lifted to a new level again: Due to the steering angle of now just 64.5° at 180 mm suspension travel, the bike offers noticeably more tracking stability and enables a riding style – corresponding to your courage – with even slightly more aggression. This is supported too by the again increased agility which results from the further lowering of the bottom bracket (by 5 mm). We know: More speed is more fun! Shift the limits of physics – MERIDA FREDDY.

Big.nine XC RACE / Marathon
It cannot be denied: The BIG.NINE CARBON is one of the world’s fastest racing bikes – as proven recently by the Marathon World Championship title of our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM’s legendary member Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjå. On the one hand, Twentyniners are generally superior to other constructions especially on the race track. But on the other, a lot of competence is required to turn a basic concept into the winner bike. MERIDA has tackled this task successfully. With its ultra-light carbon heart of about 1000 g, the BIG.NINE CARBON pumps sprint power into the legs of its pilot. Ultra-stiff 85 N/mm at the bottom bracket transform each propulsion impulse into sheer speed. The tapered and superbly tracking “X-Taper” headtube with 95 Nm/° provides safety during highspeed downhills. In short: The BIG.NINE CARBON is nothing less than a genuine racing machine. But it is a serious mistake to think that the use of our “Nano Matrix Carbon” technology implicates an uncompromisingly hard rocket only: The BIG.NINE CARBON saves its rider important power reserves – thanks to the “Flex Stay“ rearstay with slim “Bio Fibre Damping Compound“ stays whose special matrix of carbon and flax fibres ensures an outstanding flexibility. But versions with 100 % suitability for racing do exist below the high-end carbon level as well: With their hydroformed LITE frames, these bikes cut an equally fine figure at each starting line. In addition, MERIDA satisfies all 29” hardtail beginners: Our TFS models enable everyday cycling with true Twentyniner Fun! Speed and comfort for racers: the MERIDA BIG.NINE.

SystemComparison 29 / 27.5 / 26 Inch
Classic 26“, brand-new 27.5” or successfully established 29”? MTB riders can select between three wheelset sizes. This may appear confusing at the very first sight only – but then a closer look reveals many possibilities. MERIDA explains how the three aspects “weight”, “rollover performance” and “traction/grip” define the character of a wheelset – and which compromise a particular biker should choose for her or his requirements.
„As a racer, I’m interested in only one aspect when I choose my bike: It has to support my personal riding style optimally and must match each inch of the respective race course. The new BIG.SEVEN accommodates me on winding trails while the BIG.NINE for instance offers advantages during technical downhills.“ José Antonio Hermida, MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM
WEIGHT Due to the fact that MTB pilots cycle on hilly or mountainous terrain, the weight generally plays an important role. According to the laws of physics, the wheelset has a great significance as a rotating mass which must be accelerated again and again with each crank revolution. Therefore: The lighter, the better. While 29” wheels are about 12 % heavier than 26” versions of comparable quality, 27.5” variants put just about 5 % more on the scales. As a basic principle, a 26” wheel of the same quality will always be the lightest option. But: Already 27.5” models offer different advantages (see below) at an extra weight which is hardly perceptible. And Twentyniners convince with benefits which are accomplishable neither by 26” nor by 27.5” wheels while offsetting the additional wheelset weight under certain circumstances – depending on the field of application. The more a better rolling performance and an increased traction/grip are required, the more likely 29” are recommended. The more emphasis is put on weight and acceleration, the smaller a wheelset is selected.

ROLLOVER PERFORMANCE Roots, rocks, ledges: Off the road, an MTB rider faces quite a lot of various challenges which must be mastered by bike. A wheelset’s rollover performance at such obstacles is significantly defined by its diameter and the air pressure utilized within the tyre. The rule in this case: The bigger a wheelset is, the more “unimpressed” its behaviour when rolling over roots & co. And: The bigger a wheelset is, the lower the possible air pressure at identical rider weight. In turn, a lower air pressure means a tyre with “smoother” characteristics which again results in a better rollover performance. If we consider the relative angle in which the different wheelset sizes roll against an obstacle, Twentyniners master this task with -6 % in comparison to a 26” version. But already the 27.5” wheel achieves two thirds of this improved performance. The more a rider favours smooth overrunning, the bigger should be the selected wheelset standard.
TRACTION/GRIP The better the wheel grip, the more safety for the biker on any trail. In addition: Increased grip has the effective result of higher potential speeds – really essential for racers. Traction plays an especially important role for MTB riders whose cycling terrain per se offers less grip than e. g. asphalt and which equally involves steep uphills and downhills. Besides the chosen tyre profile, two different aspects are crucial for the best possible grip qualities: The contact patch (contact area between tyre profile and surface) and the individually selected air pressure. As to the latter: The lower, the more grip. At identical rider weight, Twentyniner tyres are utilized with about 0.3 to 0.4 bar less; in the case of 27.5” versions, the air pressure is reduced by another 0.2 bar. Therefore a bigger wheelset offers correspondent advantages. The same applies to the contact patch which is achieved at identical air pressure. Twentyniners range at the top of the respective comparison: They offer a plus of 50 % as against to 26” – but already 27.5” result in a bonus of 33 %.

Big.SEVEN XC RACE / Marathon
Anything but “moderate”: The wheelset size of 27.5” is by no means just another option between the classic 26” versions and the meanwhile established Twentyniners. Instead, the new standard opens a completely new world for many bikers – because 27.5” offer benefits of the sizes 26” and 29” without showing any weaknesses. Agile, manoeuvrable and similarly light as 26” but comparatively safer, more comfortable and with more traction: All kinds of MTB riders benefit from the new standard in equal measure. Our new BIG.SEVEN reveals its roots already at the first sight: Not only the aggressively designed headtube section attests the genuine racing genes of this hardtail utilized by the pro riders of our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM especially for agile and technically demanding XC courses. In addition, our R&D experts have equipped the BIG.SEVEN with a lot of exciting details. For instance, the internal routing of all cables creates not only an elegantly clean look but guarantees a highly reliable long-term performance as well. Together with the redesigned chain stays, the brake mount now relocated into the rear frame triangle improves the rear stay’s comfort and provides the required running smoothness especially for out-of-saddle downhills. During seated pedalling, the seat stays attached to the sides of the seat tube improve the flexing characteristics of the seat post. All these positive virtues inspire racers, tourers and beginners in equal measure. That’s why our new BIG.SEVEN is available in many appealing model versions. Combines the best of two worlds: MERIDA BIG.SEVEN.

O.NINE XC RACE / Marathon
Within the MTB context, not only traditionalists consider 26” hardtails still as first choice: Especially Cross Country racers appreciate the unbeatably low weight of the carbon bikes while tour riders enjoy the “all-round carefree package” which is offered by MTB hardtails. “The king is dead. Long live the king!” Particularly in our modern and fast-paced times, good aspects of seemingly bygone days are forgotten very quickly – often only to evoke recently forgotten topics again after a very short time. But MERIDA does definitely not feel any urge to throw well-proven products overboard quickly and blindly. Even though we are completely convinced of all excellent advantages offered by our Twentyniner MTBs: An identically equipped 26” version will always be lighter and more agile than its “big brother”. And first of all, the stiffness of its wheelset will be comparatively higher. That’s simply called “physics”. Thus the experienced MERIDA R&D specialists have willingly made the effort to improve the flagship hardtail O.NINE once again for 2013 – of course also not to forget the fact that our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM pro rider José Hermida became XC World Champion on this bike just two years ago! The frame weight below 900 g* and the geometry showed no need for optimization. But the flexibility of the O.NINE’s already very comfortable rear section (provided by “Flex Stay” seat and chain stays) could be increased even further. MERIDA’s “magic trick”: A central layer of bio flax fibres has been integrated into the carbon mats. The specific qualities of these flax fibres reduce vibrations and surface bumps effectively. Result: Less exhaustion and therefore more power. Are you convinced? Classic legends always suit: the MERIDA O.NINE.

MATTS Sport
“A magic dwells in each beginning”. The German writer Hermann Hesse could not guess that some 50 years later his cognition would be transferred to the diversified recreational sector of mountain biking. But his idea still remains true. Because biking does not have to be an expensive hobby or sport reserved exclusively for those who are “keen to know”. With our MATTS series, the MERIDA R&D experts prove successfully that cuttingedge technologies should be utilized also and especially within the beginner sector. MATTS entered the MERIDA world as an acronym for our in-house manufacturing technique “MERIDA Advanced TIG-Welding Technology System”. Thanks to ultra-modern production processes such as “Technoforming”, high-quality aluminium frames with smooth welding seams and exciting tube shapes are stateof-the-art today. Already at the first sight, the MATTS series demonstrates that MERIDA is seriously concerned about all those bike fans who want to follow the fascination of mountain biking with a smaller budget: The elaborate 3D shaping of the surface design accentuates the technological demand of these bikes which are equipped with either disc or rim brakes. All models feature a robust suspension front fork (lockable in the case of some versions) for true off-road riding. At the same time, they show their versatile suitability for everyday use with optional fender, carrier and kickstand installation. Because after all, a MATTS has been developed to prove undoubtedly how much MTB fun can be provided on each and every cycling metre! Enter the exciting world of MTB: MERIDA MATTS.

Hardy Dirt Contest / Entry
In recent years, only few MTB disciplines have seen a more extended boom than playful dirt-bike riding which might appear almost ludicrous to outsiders. Increasingly daring stunts during more and more spectacular runs capture athletes just as much as visitors with ever growing fascination. Of course, the material requirements have grown as well. With the MERIDA VELO TEAM around the exceptionally talented Pavel Alekhin, we are involved intensively in the dirt-bike scene and put again exciting bikes on the market for Season 2014. With the radical reduction to a sensational weight of 1.9 kg, the HARDY PRO frame has already been upgraded comprehensively in the previous year. Nevertheless, our R&D experts aimed at further refinement: The now integrated chain tensioner provides more space for the chain; thus it was possible to position both chain stays in a linear way. Advantage: No more chain jumping despite the small 9-teeth pinion – and a definitely hotter look! Another HARDY PRO innovation is the headtube gusset which enables even more individual bike tuning via the possible installation of a larger number of different forks. Our experienced R&D department also had a look at the chain stays which are 5 mm shorter now to increase the HARDY PRO’s playfulness once again. Also the beginner models HARDY 4, 5 and 6 have been updated perceptibly and visibly: Thanks to the successful utilization of several tubes from the HARDY PRO, these three bikes put 300 g less on the scales now while appearing clearly more sophisticated and even more stylish. Life is your playground – MERIDA HARDY.

Juliet Lady
The keyword: “individuality”. Because the question is not if biking ladies do need specific models but which benefits they get from them. Of course, every woman can also pedal on a unisex bike – as long as the latter fits her. But is there any good reason not to equip oneself individually and as optimally as possible to increase the biking fun effectively in a very simple way? Anyway, our R&D experts agree on this question. Therefore MERIDA delights bike-loving ladies not only with an own product range but refines these models also with cutting-edge technological know-how. For instance, MY 2014 offers no less than five* MTBs with the brandnew 27.5” wheelset standard (for additional details, please see page 62/63) which has an unquestionable advantage: Running smoothness, traction, comfort and last not least the safety of a 27.5” bike tend towards the characteristics of an even bigger Twentyniner version, but without losing too much agility. This means therefore – especially as to smaller lady-specific frame sizes rarely used with 29” wheels – a genuine plus within the 2014 MERIDA line-up. Or do you still favour a classic 26” bike because you are e. g. looking for an MTB among the models of the beginner sector? Absolutely no problem: Also in 2014, MERIDA has definitely not forgotten these fascinating bikes. All JULIET variants share lady-specific parts and a specially adapted geometry whose lower top tube position provides a reduced standover height. And last not least: individual, highly attractive and thus tempting designs. Be yourself and ride your own bike: MERIDA JULIET.

Scultura RACE
It was MERIDA’s first step towards the WorldTour: When we introduced our new SCULTURA for Season 2013, it was clear: This dreamlike carbon construction is just good enough to help professional road racers perform on top-level. And it was designed exactly for that purpose! The elite squad of the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA was enthused by the new SCULTURA’s performance and got ready to do their best on the new working tool. Also in 2014, the SCULTURA is LAMPRE-MERIDA’s bike of choice unless there are not any special tasks to be mastered. This machine doubtlessly convinces with a truly unique character. Its organically curved frame combines ultimate propulsion and comfort. Thus the athlete is able to transfer each watt she or he has laboriously acquired by training and can outsmart the muscular fatigue as well. The monocoque frame consisting of high-modulus carbon fibres underlines its aspiration for speed at a weight of just 850 g* – not to forget its torsion stiffness of 69 N/mm at the mighty BB386 bottom bracket and the ultra-high steering precision due to 104 Nm/° at the tapered steerer. But an athlete’s power reserves decrease if she or he is overstrained. That’s why our R&D engineers have equipped the SCULTURA with a “Flex Stay” rearstay including a slim 27.2 mm seatpost and vibration-damping flax fibres. This “Bio Fibre Damping Compound” technology is also utilized for the particularly light carbon fork (just 330 g) – best possible handling quality also during fast downhills meets brilliant comfort apt for long distances. Wake up the pro rider in your legs – MERIDA SCULTURA.

Reacto RACE
Physics creates facts: The lower a road racer’s total air resistance, the faster she or he is. For all lovers of velocity, MERIDA has now ignited the second evolutionary stage of the REACTO: Initially designed as a semi-aero-bike, the brand-new REACTO EVO shows pure aerodynamic ambition and convinces not only in the wind tunnel: Our R&D experts have developed this racer specifically to equip the pro riders of the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA optimally for hill climb time trials or race stages with sprints and solo escapes. Also regarding relevant performance data such as weight, stiffness and comfort, our 2014 highlight does not leave anything to be desired. The REACTO EVO’s drop-shaped “Fastback” profiles with their substantially trimmed ends result from elaborate analyses in the wind tunnel. But not only the light frame weighing just above 1000 g* slips through the wind with ease: The large clearance between the fork blades leaves space for the naturally turbulent front wheel which ensures that the blades are hit by a laminar inflow. Thus they hardly add to the bike’s total air resistance in aerodynamic terms. Directly mounted front and rear brakes perfect the aerodynamically sophisticated master plan. Thanks to the conical “Tapered Steerer” and the mighty BB386 bottom bracket, the REACTO EVO meets all requirements with regard to ultra-high steering precision and brilliantly effective power transfer. At the rear, the patent-pending “S-Flex” seatpost provides the essential comfort as to preserving the rider’s energy reserves also on long distances. A bit speedier is always possible: MERIDA REACTO EVO.

RIDE TOUR
Road racers know: The worse the road surface, the less reliable the access to one’s own power potential – and the lower the fun factor of the tour. Not only strongly perceptible surface bumps, but already permanent vibrations (e. g. caused by rough asphalt) disturb the subtle total construct of human being and machine and thus tire the athlete more quickly. This applies not only to the legs as propulsion motor, but also to the arms, hands, shoulders and back sections. That’s why the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA relies on our carbon road racer RIDE PRO which has been specifically and completely redesigned for MY 2014 according to the pro racers’ demands. The RIDE PRO concept incorporates various aspects to provide the pilot with maximum comfort. The frame’s suitability for tyre widths up to 28 mm appears less sophisticated in technological respect but is all the more effective. Clearly more complex is the special fork construction which on the one hand offers outstanding stiffness thanks to “Double Chamber” technology and thanks to the unique design filters and absorbs vibrations or bumps very effectively. Our R&D experts have pursued the same task by connecting the seat stays to the seat tube in a very low position; the seat stays’ slim construction height of only 10 mm ensures maximum flexibility. The judgement of the pro riders confirms: mission accomplished. Additional reduction of surface bumps is managed by the flax fibres woven into parts of the carbon matrix (“Bio Fibre Damping Compound”) such as at the fork or at the “Flex Stay” rearstay. Comfort at pro level – MERIDA RIDE PRO.

Warp TT TIME Trial
Time trial is a very special cycling discipline: No matter if single or team competition – nothing strains the athlete’s physical and mental endurance more than the fight against the relentless sweep hand. Because already milliseconds pitilessly decide about triumph or defeat at the finish line, neither athlete nor bike can allow even the slightest weakness. Specifically for the top-level pro requirements of the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA, our R&D engineers have developed a TT machine with truly unique versatility. With its brand-new design for 2014, our WARP TT lifts time-trial cycling to a new level – not only thanks to its sophisticated aerodynamics, but especially in terms of adaptability. MERIDA knows from comprehensive windtunnel analyses that a perfectly optimized bike needs a perfectly optimized rider. The respective secret is a “modular cockpit” – a control centre with almost unlimited adjustment options. Via special inserts, the effective head-tube length can be varied by +30 or +60 mm. Furthermore, the in-house development of the new control centre allows to utilize the flip-flop handlebar and the arm rests with different widths, heights or angles. Variable stem lengths complete the concept. At the same time, special attention should be paid to the fact that despite this variety of options all cables and wires of the WARP TT have been routed internally – for mechanical as well as for electronic shifting systems. It can be taken for granted that this 2014 highlight convinces also with decisive carbon technologies typical for MERIDA. Just you and the time – MERIDA WARP TT.

Cyclo Cross CROSS
Cyclo-cross bikes were once invented as the winter training tools of some crazy road-racing athletes and at a later point of time became real competition machines. In recent years, their fan community has been growing permanently and deservedly – because either as “insusceptible road racer” with certain advantages (e. g. profiled tyres, more compact geometry) or as everyday commuter bike without having to consider all too specific terrain: Our cyclo-crosser represents a kind of Swiss pocket knife among the bikes – especially for lovers of velocity. Also in MY 2014, MERIDA relies on the typical mix of sportiness and versatility which is adequate to the cyclo-cross category. Our 2014 CYCLO CROSS models are defined by an aluminium heart plus parts with rhyme and reason. The high-quality aluminium frame is comfortable and extremely insusceptible to e. g. the daily requirements for a commuter bike. Because besides its suitability as a serious piece of training and sports equipment (for instance attested by the cable routing on the top tube for better shouldering), a cyclo-crosser is especially capable of catapulting its rider over asphalt, gravel or forest tracks – in whatever weather and without any concern about annoying equipment defects. That’s why all variants of MY 2014 are consequently equipped with reliable disc brakes – a true benefit for rainy, snowy and muddy conditions. Fenders can be mounted for the same reason. Depending on the desired individual level of sportiness, you may opt for a carbon or aluminium front fork. Ready for each terrain and day – MERIDA CYCLO CROSS.

Bikes can be genuine specialists – such as sophisticated MTB machines with complex chassis systems, ultralight racers for rides on and off the road or high-tech rockets optimized elaborately in the wind tunnel for very special pro purposes. But they do not have to! Because a bike can also be a CROSSWAY – one for all those who want it all at any time. Thanks to its profiled 28” tyres, this MERIDA likes asphalt as much as gravel while its suspension fork provides comfort and safety in every situation. Well-designed components ensure suitability for everyday use; the aluminium frame guarantees reliable durability. As always, MERIDA offers a comprehensive range of CROSSWAY variants also in 2014 – among them ladyspecific versions whose lower top tube makes it perceptibly easier to get on and off the saddle and makes each stop more comfortable due to the reduced standover height. Depending on the favoured field of application, you can opt for firm disc brakes or light rim brakes which both convince with reliable retardation power. The frames of some models are partly produced by “Hydroforming” technology and delight – thanks to “HFS” – also with very special and exciting shapes. The hidden cable routing at the down tube provides a truly clean look. Besides its comfort feature “suspension fork”, our CROSSWAY also offers optional fender, rack and kickstand* installation. Therefore it is ideally suitable for everyday city rides, too. For even more comfort, certain variants are even equipped with a suspension seatpost as well. Get on the saddle, start and feel good – MERIDA CROSSWAY.

Fitness Lifestyle Setting trends instead of following them: As “road bikes with linear handlebar”, the SPEEDER models serve fitness-orientated bike fans who want to combine athletic activity with suitability for everyday use. Or do you need the adequate style for city rides? Our minimalist S-PRESSO impresses with timeless elegance. MERIDA – MORE STATE OF THE ART.

Speeder Fitness
The modern term “deceleration” is definitely not part of your vocabulary? The motto “I am always up front” does apply to you? What a great attitude. Because it can be good for you to open the “body throttle” beyond your office or everyday stress and to counteract the threatening fatigue of your latently underchallenged condition. If you close your eyes and imagine the optimal device for such purposes, you perhaps have a sudden inspiration in form of a road racer. But MERIDA keeps in readiness an attractive alternative: Our SPEEDERs are virtually road machines with linear handlebars and additional finesses. Completely redesigned for 2014, they satisfy your desire for intensive training and offer comprehensive suitability for everyday use as well. The new SPEEDER geometry combines all essential approaches of MERIDA’s concept for fast bikes in daily use: Sportiness on the one hand, comfort on the other. Thus the moderately shorter top tube is complemented by an extended headtube. This results in still an athletic but not too stretched seating position – excellent for long training rounds. The slim seat stays provide maximum rearstay comfort. The latter as well as the SPEEDER’s traction can be increased by the optional utilization of tyres with a width of up to 28 mm. The spanned top tube provides an athletically aggressive look elegantly kept clean by the internal routing of the shifter cables. In addition, installation eyelets for fenders and mounts for a carrier underline the very versatile character of this high-speed bike. Accelerating your everyday life: the MERIDA SPEEDER.

S-Presso LIFESTYLE
With timeless elegance and therefore ideal for genuine urban lifestyle rides, the MERIDA S-PRESSO has been proving for years that sophisticated reduction to the essentials is definitely not contradictory to modern bike concepts. In fact, S-PRESSO owners demonstrate that they have not lost their sense for puristic easiness in times of continuous technological progress. And that they feel what it means to roll through life with sheer muscle power and pure pleasure of movement. The centrepiece of our classic S-PRESSO is its premium aluminium frame which provides the essential reliability especially for everyday utilization in the city. As a matter of course, this MERIDA frame with its sporting and compact geometry is a heavyweight with regard to quality only. Meticulously manufactured welding seams accentuate the S-PRESSO’s aesthetic demand to delight its pilot not only with performance data every day. Also in terms of configuration, the S-PRESSO convinces with this bike category’s characteristic combination of beautiful simplicity and brilliant performance: Powerful disc brakes ensure the firm retardation of the cycling speed which can be adapted optimally to any possible challenge via the 27 gears of the reliable drivetrain. In addition, our S-PRESSO enables the optional installation of a handy kickstand or carrier and features fenders which have been integrated excellently into the design. Therefore this impressive bike neither lets its rider down in nasty weather nor causes any headache during everyday use. Elegant, reliable and suitable for daily use: the MERIDA S-PRESSO.

Brad BMX
BMX – “Bicycle Moto Cross”. Three well-known letters, one special bike category, one great lifestyle. Meanwhile utilized across six cycling disciplines and united by one collective as well as simple attitude: Having maximum fun on agile 20” bikes which perform any move and forgive each fail. Since its very first days in the early 1980s, BMX has been holding its position steadfastly not only in hip cities. This demonstrates that trends can become facts if deserved. On the following pages, you find four of these convincing facts: the MERIDA BMX bikes of our UMF series – named BRAD 3, 4, 5 and 16. Our R&D experts who develop all MERIDA bikes for tougher challenges agree that robustness and suitability for everyday use are far more important than over-tuned lightweights or cool bling-bling. Or are you keen on having to order new parts at your bike retailer after each training round …? Thus all BRAD model versions base on a precisely manufactured steel frame corresponding optimally to BMX demands. In addition, the details make the final difference – besides the fork, this especially applies to the drivetrain: Our BRADs 3 and 4 feature a 25/9 transmission ratio suitable even for pro riders. The BRAD 5 is propelled by 33/14 teeth while the junior-specific 16” version offers a ratio of 36/16 appropriate for kids. Anything else …? Of course: Each model is equipped with a rotor for your bar spins and with axle packs mounted on one side. Because the quality of your performance should never be predetermined by the money supply of your wallet. Find your style, we build your bike – MERIDA BRAD.

Dakar Kids
Children have a mind of their own: Permanently, they produce unforeseen ideas and try out all sorts of activities. Parents appreciate this as long as they can be sure that their kids do well with their unbridled play instinct. That’s why all children’s and youth bikes made by MERIDA – ranging from trainer bikes to full-suspension MTBs – guarantee especially one aspect: undisturbed enjoyment of playing and growing up. All MERIDA kids’ and youth bikes of MY 2014 share a highly reliable centrepiece: An outstandingly robust and precisely manufactured aluminium frame ensures that even the hardest treatment cannot harm the bike’s construction. For the youngest riders, we recommend our DAKAR 612 whose name matches its tiny but very sturdy 12” pneumatic tyres. A reliable front brake, an effective chain guard and removable stabilizers are essential companions on the first biking metres. The identically equipped DAKAR 616 rolls on 16” pneumatic tyres. Up from the 620 series, kids enjoy their own MERIDA with an age-appropriate derailleur system and an additional rear brake – without any stabilizers. The 24” models already show characteristics of serious biking: Our DAKAR 624-SUS offers a sturdy full-suspension chassis for tougher rides also off the paved road. Moreover, MERIDA delights all parents of budding bike sport enthusiasts with the new DAKAR 624 RACE now. This great youth bike has been developed for racing purposes and convinces with an overall concept focussing on lowest total weight possible. Playing, learning, cycling – MERIDA DAKAR.

Multivan merida biking team MTB Racing
Besides brand-owned racing teams, no other pro rider squad within the international MTB circus can match the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM in terms of steadiness: Already since 2002, MERIDA as title sponsor and outfitter has been supporting this outstanding racing team with undiminished commitment. And on the other hand, the athletes’ continuing successes testify the unchanged constancy as well. Nevertheless, there is a pleasant change for 2014.
„Season 2013/14 means reduction and alteration in an equal measure: On the one hand, our focus is laid exclusively on the Olympic discipline of cross-country racing. Secondly, the team structure will be changed by the new signing of ambitious young talents.“
cal demand of the race courses increases continuously.” And José Hermida adds, “In turn, the new talents benefit from our experience – for instance in terms of coping with stressful situations during a race.” The team’s frequent collective appearances show that these words are anything else than empty. “Training or checking trails with Gunn-Rita and José is unbelievably instructive,” Thomas Litscher (24) rejoices. “They have already experienced all imaginable situations and stay calm whatever may happen.“ But not only riding skills and tactics are essential for the life of an MTB pro. “Each minute off the saddle is equally important for a constant performance – the experience of Gunn-Rita and José helps us succeed also in this regard,” the team’s second newcomer – Ondrej Cink (23) – underlines the perfect cooperation. “In addition, both are real superstars but characterized by a totally impressive relaxedness.” Thomas Litscher’s and Ondrej Cink’s first podium positions in the early season prove the fertileness of this new team constellation. So far one of the five athletes is still missing – and those who get to know the multiple Dutch National Champion Rudi van Houts (29) will quickly notice that he by no means is a “fifth wheel” but rather someone who assumes responsibility. “Until last year, I was the youngest team member and ready to learn – now I can pass on parts of my experience. But I still know exactly how the two youngsters feel.” Ergo: Rudi van Houts is nothing less than the perfect link between two generations of racing pilots. And as such, he enjoys the possibility to make sure that the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM will again rank among the world’s best XC teams at the end of the season.
Fabian Aust, Team Manager
The sight appears to be the same – but nevertheless, something very important is new: Wherever the five pro riders of the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM appear, they can always be sure that they attract maximum attention. During the warming-up before the start of each race, hundreds of fans crowd in front of the team tent. But their eyes wander even more frequently from athlete to athlete than in the previous years. Should they rather look at the two MTB “veterans“? After all, Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja from Norway and José Antonio Hermida from Spain ride for MERIDA as winners of multiple World, European, Olympic and National Championship titles. Or should one’s own main attention be paid to the link between the generations – to Rudi van Houts from the Netherlands, multiple Dutch National Champion and Olympic athlete? Or rather to the two new “young guns” of the team instead? After all, Thomas Litscher (Switzerland) and Ondrej Cink (Czech Republic) take part in their first pro seasons as U23 World Champions of 2011 and 2012 … “In Season 2013/14, we talk about a new MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM,” states Fabian Aust as the team’s also new manager. As team assistant, Aust has already been knowing the elite squad for a long time. He has taken over the manager position from Andreas Rottler who
from now on takes charge of a wider range of duties as Director of Sport Marketing MERIDA. “We’re virtually living under one roof with three generations. In doing so, each athlete cannot but benefit from her or his respective team mates.” This statement especially points out one fact: The MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM keeps its “family character” although the family members change. With her 40 years, Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja is not only the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM’s longest-serving athlete but also its most successful one due to her meanwhile nine World Championship Titles. Currently, she is again wearing the rainbow jersey of the reigning Marathon World Champion. Nevertheless, she has not forgotten her previous World and European Championship titles in marathon and Olympic XC racing – not to mention her 2004 Olympic gold medal won in Athens. Together with 35-year-old José Antonio Hermida (XC World Champion 2010 and reigning Spanish National Champion), Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja represents the “old guard” and thus the experienced backbone of the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM. Nevertheless, she remains eager to learn: “The riding style of the ‘young and wild’ differs from our own one. But we can still learn something by observing it – especially because the techni-

Team Lampre Merida Road Racing
Vuelta, Giro, Tour; “Primavera”, Classics of the North, “Race of the Falling Leaves“ – catchwords like these fire utmost enthusiasm in road-racing aficionados. At such famous occasions, the protagonists of the cycling events rich in tradition present athletic performances at the highest possible level – and in the middle of the peloton: The TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA which got MERIDA’s starting signal for the UCI WorldTour in January 2013.
„After more than one successful decade of Olympic Cross-Country racing, MERIDA has successfully arrived in the Champions League of road racing. With the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA, an excellent pro squad has formed up which matches our brand in the best possible way.“
The MERIDA Industry Co., Ltd. was founded even another 18 years earlier: In 1972, Ike Tseng (# 2012) launched the company which is Taiwan’s second-largest bike manufacturer today and which has been running the independent brand MERIDA since 1988. Therefore two partners with decades of experience in their respective fields of competence – best possible preconditions for a shared and successful future. And the latter will be exciting: “For our pro riders’ first season, we have created a complete line-up which has already been able to prove its top-level functionality. Now, our tasks are curiosity, unconventional thinking at times and aiming at success in a continuously consequent way.” As MERIDA’s Director of Products, Juergen Falke knows from his MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM experience that medals do not appear overnight, that great races are not won easily and that World Champion titles are hard-earned triumphs. But he also knows that success is rewarded when each involved party contributes its very best – and this is exactly what the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA stands for: the fusion of many powers eager for getting forward together.
Andreas Rottler, Director of Sport Marketing MERIDA
For more than a decade now, MERIDA has been the title sponsor and outfitter for one of the world’s most successful MTB racing teams. Our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM’s very impressive list of triumphs encompasses countless national titles and World Cup victories as well as Olympic Gold, European or World Champion laurels. MERIDA has transferred this concentrated experience onto the road now: Since the beginning of the cycling season 2013, the Italian pro squad of the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA has been representing Taiwan’s second-largest bike manufacturer in the renowned UCI WorldTour. Established cycling celebrities like Filippo Pozzato, Damiano Cunego or the sprinter Roberto Ferrari have gathered around the team captain Michele Scarponi – together with ambitious talents like Diego Ulissi or Davide Cimolai. As much as Italy’s longest-standing bike team benefits from the competent know-how of an experienced manufacturer, the pro riders’ feedback brings MERIDA highly valuable knowledge for the development and refinement of road machines. “Already after the first year, we can sum up that our entry into the WorldTour has been a very big success,” states Juergen Falke as MERIDA’s Director of Products. Besides the all-round working tool SCULTURA (page 86 ff.) presented with great foresight already in early 2012, three ultimately
thrilling world-class specialists have been designed during the premiere season 2013: With the models REACTO EVO, RIDE PRO and WARP TT, the MERIDA R&D experts have constructed impressive innovations helping the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA optimally master all imaginable challenges which occur during a racing season. So Filippo Pozzato & Co. always utilize the aero machine REACTO EVO (page 92 ff.) whenever it comes to solo escapes, sprints or hill climb time trial. Our maximally comfortable RIDE PRO (page 96 ff.) mitigates the dreaded cobblestone passages of the famous classics in the north of France while the WARP TT (page 102 ff.) spreads its high-tech wings when precious milliseconds must be won during the merciless fight against the clock – alone or together with the other team members. “We utilize the pro riders’ feedback for further refinement of our already very good products,” Juergen Falke explains. Because sometimes even the smallest details turn an “A” into an “A+”. A look at the partners’ histories shows that the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA is a great benefit for all parties involved. No other company has been committing itself to pro cycling in a similarly long and intense way than the important steel producer in the north of Milan: The support by the owner family Galbusera already started in 1990.

MERIDA Velo Team Gravity
A team as colourful as the favourite outfits of its members: Pavel Alekhin, Adrian Tell, Clemens Kaudela, Dominik Raab, Hannes Klausner and Tanja Hendrysiak are the six cornerstones of our MERIDA VELO TEAM. Together, these world-class riders combine the playful MTB disciplines Dirt, Slopestyle, Street Trial, Freeride, Downhill and Fourcross. On their MERIDA bikes, they are touring all around the globe.
„Our MERIDA VELO TEAM does not only prove that MERIDA masters a lot of variations of MTB riding: First of all, it is also a very important feedback source for our development processes.“ Reynaldo Ilagan, R&D Engineer MERIDA
They tour internationally, are well-known on YouTube & Co. and fill the MERIDA video channel. And with their unbelievable versatility, they make sure that MERIDA is successfully able to demonstrate the brand’s performance potential also far beyond the borders of XC race courses. Under the roof of the MERIDA VELO TEAM, e. g. Pavel “The Cherry” Alekhin, Adrian Tell and Clemens Kaudela are gathered as Russia’s, Norway’s and Austria’s best dirt riders. These three dirt experts account for triumphs at such renowned contests like Vienna Air King, Red Bull Bergline or White Style Leogang. The trial specialist Dominik Raab has even won National Championship laurels and rocks his MERIDA on more than 100 show days a year. Besides the trial hero Danny MacAskill, the Austrian biker undoubtedly ranges among the most popular stars of the scene: His countless video projects around the world initiate new “aahs” and “oohs” again and again … Hannes Klausner and Tanja Hendrysiak favour a clearly longer suspension travel – albeit in the case of the team’s lady also extremely successful regarding 4X racing. These two MERIDA VELO members from Austria and Germany prove their preference for enduro and freeride missions especially as photo riders for catalogue or advertisement productions. In doing so, they show consistently that they are true lucky finds who underline the
MERIDA VELO TEAM’s special significance for the brand. But these six exceptional talents do not only guarantee pleasant athletic successes while they also embody the fact that MERIDA masters all those various MTB disciplines: As highly valuable feedback resources, our team riders support the competent (further) development of MERIDA bikes as well. This ensures that each MERIDA pilot all over the world can always rely on great material which has been developed and tested meticulously at a top level. Best example for the current model year: the HARDY PRO. Together with the contractual riders, our experienced R&D engineers were for example able to reduce the dirt bike’s weight, to revise the chain stays effectively or to create even more options for the individual fork setup (further HARDY PRO info on page 72) – very much to the delight of the team athletes who in return give thanks to these efforts with their outstanding performances.
Thanks to the sponsors 2013-2014

“ My driver job in the DTM stands for extreme physical challenges. The long and intensive training units on my SCULTURA help me stay fit in an optimal way. ” Timo Glock, DTM pilot (BMW)
Joachim Franz For more than a decade, this impressive man has been spearheading the difficult fight against HIV/Aids and has been campaigning for the task that the general public deals with this subject increasingly: Joachim Franz from Germany travels round the world as an Aids activist while reinventing his personal motivation continuously with new campaigns. Whenever Joachim Franz relies on bikes to achieve his ambitious objectives, MERIDA does accompany this caring as well as this so popular character and supports him with material. www.joachim-franz.com

Philipp’s Bike Team The biggest Balearic Island is especially popular among cycling fans. As one of the very first larger providers of organized bike holidays, Philipp’s Bike Team offers a “carefree” all-round service at its picturesque location in the superb southwest of Majorca – including MERIDA bikes. In the utterly attractive region of Calvia, the renowned Swiss-run company is based at the fourstar-plus hotel “Iberostar Jardin del Sol” and attaches greatest importance to the fact that its guests always do cycle with premium material. www.radferien-mallorca.com Lara Gut www.laragut.ch
„ The stronger a brand, the higher its responsibility. MERIDA supports, for instance, social projects or ambitious athletes who think and act in total accordance with our own objectives. “ 178 Wolfgang Renner, CEO MERIDA & CENTURION Germany GmbH Partners
Athletes on MERIDA A brand needs a number of ambassadors. The enduro rider Alban Aubert, the DTM pro driver Timo Glock and the skier Lara Gut are examples for those who rely on MERIDA. While the successful Swiss winter athlete and the German racing driver collect training kilometres off their respective pistes, the educationalist from French-speaking Switzerland spends his “workdays” on MERIDA. In doing so, Alban Aubert is the embodiment of a photo rider as well as something else in particular: A role model for young people to combine the coolness of enduro cycling with a responsible life.
The Swiss holiday region of Grisons (Graubuenden) rightly ranges among the most popular destinations for bikers: MTB riders will be quite enthused by the more than 4000 km of marked trails. Road racers can enjoy even more bituminized dream roads for countless magic moments on the saddle. Grisons demonstrates an exemplary dedication as to caring for its guests: No matter if luggage transport or the special “graubündenPASS Bike”: Cycling fans will never forget their trips and their other enjoyments. Being in on it: MERIDA as the official partner of the exciting Grisons holiday region. www.graubuenden.ch

To achieve a better and successful comparison between the frame data of different bikes, the measurement has been defined by means of “stack and reach”. This precise approach is especially effective for enabling comparison between sloped frame designs (with increased top tube slope or e. g. lady versions) and “classic” variants – because the top tube’s gradient is completely ignored as a reference parameter. To define a frame’s stack and reach mathematically, bottom bracket and headtube are utilized as fixed measuring points: From the intersection of two geometric lines (one running vertically and directly through the bottom bracket’s center, the other horizontally and directly along the headtube’s upper edge), the reach is measured horizontally while the stack runs in vertical direction. The quotient of stack divided by reach enables effective comparison and allows conclusions with regard to the bike’s individual characteristic as well.
