2018 Merida One-Sixty 800 - Large - Now £1545

Right, let's cut to the chase.

It's the end of the 2018 season for me and my awesome sponsors TMC - Team Mitchell Cycles and Simon at Merida Bicycles UK have hooked me up with another sweet sponsorship deal for 2019 riding the One-Sixty 800 again, so this is your opportunity to grab my 2018 bike which has been very much under used this year!

I took a back seat in 2018 after 2 seasons of BDS on board the DH bike, so this year has been about getting the hours in at the gym and generally larking around at Bike Park Wales on the occasional Saturday. I cannot communicate how fun and fast this bike is; it's been more planted than my Kona Process DL I raced in 2017 yet seems a more capable climber than anything I've ever ridden before.

Raced once* (*took the bike over to Northern Norway to visit family and accidentally entered a local race... turns out it was the second round of the Norwegian National Enduro series! Just outside the top 20 that one on effectively a series of XC runs :P!) https://www.instagram.com/p/BkIaFyxhuMr/?taken-by=jameswindley

RRP: £3150.00 (https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Merida-One-Sixty-800-Mountain-Bike-2018-Enduro-Full-Suspension-MTB_110655.htm?sku=410843&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google_shopping&mkwid=slAuMyWb1_dc%7Cpcrid%7C43133747213%7Cproduct%7C410843%7C&pgrid=12260388053&ptaid=pla-435832023029&utm_source=shopping_google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=**SHOPPING+-+Bikes&utm_content=lAuMyWb1_dc%7Cpcrid%7C43133747213%7Cpkw%7C%7Cpmt%7C%7Cproduct%7C410843%7C&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9ZDeBRD9ARIsAMbAmoazM2owrYGIyC7Npa1cJlFkrLja03ucrHOLnAJEQsGQrgfAeWmkIJAaAu35EALw_wcB)


For 2019 the bike hasn't changed with the exception of the rocker link now in carbon (not aluminium) so unless that's a deal breaker you are still getting a new bike - they absolutely nailed the geometry first time around!

Long (but not extreme) front triangle, short/medium chain stays mean this is a great blend between two wheel drift and race-winning stability. Evidence:
