You are looking for trail-proven geometry and riding position, but if you don't need the 120 mm rear travel our 'classic' ONE-TWENTY brings to the table, then Merida's XT-equipped ONE-TWENTY RC XT EDITION might be the right choice for you. The XT EDITION offers buttery smooth shifting, covers ground super efficiently, and shows off its trail heritage when the trails get more demanding.
Completely redesigned for 2019, the ONE-TWENTY continues its success story into the 2022 season. With multiple test successes, including a 'BEST IN TEST' in Enduro Mountainbike Magazine for the 2020 ONE-TWENTY 8000, our mid-travel bike will once again impress with its versatility and unstoppable trail munching capabilities. While very much a trail bike at heart, the modern yet balanced trail bike geometry, paired with fantastic frame stiffness, created a mid-travel bike that is super capable on rough trails but also carries speed perfectly on less technically demanding tracks. And to give riders a maximum choice, we will offer the ONE-TWENTY again in the 'classic' 120 mm rear/130 mm front travel configuration or the slightly more XC biased 100 mm rear/120 mm front travel 'RC' setup, which also has a slightly steeper head angle and seat angle for improved climbing performance.

- 100 mm FLOAT LINK activated rear wheel travel
