Actually, our product range already includes one of the world’s stiffest, most lightweight and comfortable hardtail bikes: Our famous CARBON FLX has been providing the basis for five World and European Championship titles (respectively) as well as stunning 16 World Cup wins!

So why should we reduce frame weight by another 200 g, while increasing BB stiffness by nearly 30 %? What’s the reason for developing a frame design making rugged trails feel even more comfortable, while our FLX already delights with outstanding results also in this respect?

Already the prototype scored a European Championship silver medal before enthusing the international bike press soon after. Since then, our NINETY-SIX has been collecting several other medals and titles in rapid succession. This carbon fully is the outstanding result of latest materials and production methods. Last year, it did not only catapult MERIDA into the “Champions League” of carbon frame manufacturers, but in fact directly to the top of the genre.
