• AWS ANTI WRINKLE SYSTEM

  Merida uses this process in the manufacture of our carbon frames. First, the carbon fibre that makes up the frame is placed around special moulds.Then they use a bubble to press the layers against the outside of the frame mould.This creates a smooth and wrinkle-free inner surface, removing any voids between the carbon layers that could be potential weak points. The result is a stronger, lighter frame.

• 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.

• FLEX STAY

  The profile of the rear tubes and the specific arrangement of the carbon plates act as a flat spring to absorb uneven terrain and reduce vibrations.

• INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING

  On most frames, transmission and brake cables and hoses are routed through the frame. Cables enter and exit the frame through smooth sockets or one of the other systems is used, such as SMART ENTRY or WIRE PORT. Routing cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, provides a clean and sleek look, and can offer aerodynamic benefits.

• NANO MATRIX CARBON

  NANO MATRIX CARBON is a special type of carbon fibre in which we add very small nanoscale particles to the resin that holds the individual carbon fibres together. These act on a molecular level to protect against damage. The technology is so effective that it can increase the impact strength of the carbon fibre by up to 40%, allowing us to build stronger and lighter composite frames. This in turn leads to faster and more durable bikes.

• WIRE PORT

  MERIDA designed headsets that enable all control cables from the handlebar to enter the frame through the headset cover, creating a clean and uncluttered look, allowing for a lighter, stronger and more aerodynamic frame structure than with conventional cable ports. Depending on the model, the cables are run completely internally (including the bar and stem) or semi-integrated, where the cables enter the frame underneath the stem.

• 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.
