Features e-BIG NINE XT-EDITION

• 

  PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINIUM

  When creating high-end aluminium frames, we use our proven PROLITE 66 (6066) aluminium, as it is incredibly light and durable. In addition, it works exceptionally well with our hydroforming technology, allowing us to create complex shapes, featuring triple butted wall thicknesses, an almost carbon-like appearance and the best possible stiffness-to-weight ratio. While lesser alloys might be cheaper, it is the ideal choice for high-performance bicycle frames.

• 

  X-TAPER HEADTUBE

  Steering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows us to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering.

• 

  SMOOTH-WELDING

  This is a process we use to give a nice flat finish to our welds instead of the scaled, 'stack of coins' effect TIG welded joints often have. The welder uses the welding torch to go over the joint twice, helping to smooth out the filler material. It takes a lot of skill to do this, but it delivers strong and smart-looking frames that have the appearance of a carbon fibre frame at first look.

• 

  INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING

  On the majority of our frames, we run the gear and brake cables and hoses through the frame. The cables enter and exit the frame through smooth sockets, or we use one of our other systems like SMART ENTRY or WIRE PORT to be routed through. Running the cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look and can offer aerodynamic advantages.

• 

  SMART ENTRY

  Many of our frames offer internal cable routing, where the gear and brake cables are run through the frame for maximum protection and a clean look. Some internally run cables can rattle when riding over uneven surfaces, but our SMART ENTRY system prevents this from happening. Cables, housings and brake hoses are clamped under tension to prevent noisy cable movement. All inlets are completely interchangeable to deal with any kind of cable or wire.

• 

  DI2 READY

  Shimano's Di2 electronic shifting system offers fast, smooth and reliable shifting. In particular, in the road world, it has proven itself as the primary choice when top performance is at the top of the agenda. With that in mind, we have a broad selection of performance road frames that are Di2 READY and can accommodate the electrical cable, battery and other little tweaks that the system requires.

• 

  REMOTE LOCK-OUT

  De voorvork en/of achterdemper van je MERIDA-fiets kunnen eenvoudig met een afstandsbediening vanaf het stuur worden geblokkeerd. Optimaal voor (race)bikers die razendsnel tussen de open en gesloten modus willen wisselen.

• 

  POST-MOUNT DISC

  Door de directe bevestiging van de Postmount remklauw aan de dropouts wordt het uitlijnen van de remklauwen makkelijker. Door verschillende adapters te gebruiken kunnen verschillende diameters van remschijven worden gebruikt.

• 

  C-S POST MOUNT DISC

  Door de remklauw aan de binnenkant van het frame te monteren kunnen de krachten beter op de ideale manier in het frame verdeeld worden en zit de remklauw beter beschermd tegen beschadigingen. Daarnaast geeft de interne kabelvoering een cleane look.

• 

  12-148 THRU-AXLE BOOST

  'Boost' hubs are 6mm wider and therefore the spokes run flatter, this results in a stiffer and stronger wheel. Especially with 29" and 650b+ wheels and in combination with a thru axle this is a big step forward. The chain-stay can also be made shorter because the bottom bracket is also wider and the chain line is moved outwards. This makes the bike even stiffer and more agile.

• 

  15-100 THRU-AXLE

  Steekassen zorgen niet alleen voor een hogere torsiestijfheid. Ze zorgen ook voor het makkelijk wisselen van wiel en een altijd perfect uitgelijnde remschijf. MERIDA kiest voor 12 mm steekassen voor de achterwielen en 15 mm voor de voorwielen,.

• 

  F-MOUNT

  Being able to turn your bike into an all-weather commuter that has mudguards and other fittings can be a real plus, in particular when riding on wet and perhaps muddy roads and tracks on a regular basis. To make fitting easy, some of our bikes are F-MOUNT equipped. These integrated fittings mounts make adding mudguards fast and simple. Please note that some bikes require model-specific mudguards.

• 

  K-MOUNT

  When using your bike in an urban environment, where you might not always have the option to use a specific bike stand, a kickstand is an ideal solution to park your bike safely. Some of our bikes come with a neatly integrated K-MOUNT, which makes fitting a MERIDA kickstand (or any commercial kickstand) easy. And if you don’t want to have a kickstand and prefer the clean appearance of your frame, the K-MOUNT is neatly tucked away underneath your chainstay, difficult to spot if you don’t know it is there.

• 

  C-MOUNT

  Similar to our F-MOUNT, where various fixing points for mudguards are part of the frame offering, the C-MOUNT equipped bikes have the fixing points for a rear rack already integrated, making fitting fast, simple and reliable. The C-MOUNTS are an additional feature that improves the day-to-day versatility by adding loading capacity to your bike, ideal for commuting and shopping trips. Please note that some bikes require model-specific rear racks.
