  1. Nowadays we often associated trail and mountain biking fun with more and sophisticated full suspension travel as modern full suspension bikes become not just more capable on the way down but also easier to pedal and more efficient on the way up. Click here to view the article
  2. Hello all, I am looking at investing in a road bike with the idea to use it for the next decade, at least. I am weighing up two options, the Cannondale super six carbon (2015), 10-speed, which has american classic wheels, easton carbon handle bars and comes with a left-crank watt meter... compared to a Merida Scultura 4000 (2016), 11-speed, which has upgrades of campagnolo chorus parts. The Merida is about R3000 cheaper, when comparing both bikes as is. Any advice? I am waiting to hear whether a 52/36 crankset can fit the Merida, otherwise it will come with compact crank. Cannondale has a 52/36 already. Both bikes are second hand
  3. Press Release Originally launched in 2008, our World Cup and World Championships proven full suspension race bike has gone through a number of changes and alterations over the last decade, with probably the most significant departure from ‘the old’ coming together in the new NINETY-SIX (MY2021). We are very excited to present our take on modern XC, marathon and stage racing as well as lightweight short travel trail riding – welcome to the new NINETY-SIX – TRAIL AND TRACK AT FULL GAS.

  9. Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjå’s career is unparalleled. For over 20 years she has been a part of mountain biking’s world elite, and the queen of MTB is hungry for more! After the demise of the Multivan MERIDA Biking Team at the end of the 2016 season, Gunn-Rita has been working to continue cycling at the highest level. The Norwegian MERIDA distributor, Stians Sport AS took the opportunity and together with MERIDA offered Gunn-Rita the support to form a Norwegian UCI team for the next two seasons.

Hope someone can assist. Thanks Robin
  12. Johann Rabie does it all. He's a former road professional, now riding as mountain biker for Team Telkom, and in between being a pro he owns a successful bike shop in Malmesbury. There is much we could talk to Johann about but for this feature it's all about his bike, a Merida Ninety-Six Team. Click here to view the article

  18. Better is the enemy of good: This was the motto that MERIDA’s head of R&D Jürgen Falke and his team were following when developing the fourth generation of the SCULTURA road bike platform. Being the lightest frame in MERIDA’s line-up, this frame has always been built to conquer long, steep climbs. But as extensive wind tunnel testing by German magazine Tour showed, the SCULTURA was not a top contender in terms of aerodynamics. Thus there was a clear objective for the new frame: It had to be yet a bit lighter, but more importantly it had to become more aerodynamic. Another goal was to increase the vertical compliance of the rear triangle. Click here to view the article
  19. Hey All I'm on the verge of buying a Merida MATTS TFS 500 2012 model From what I've heard it's a very good bike under the 10K price bracket. Is there any reason why I shouldn't be buying it? Thanx Leaboy
  20. Once in a while a bike comes along that exceeds my expectations and reminds me why I enjoy riding. The 2014 Merida One-Forty 1-B has been one of these bikes. Click here to view the article
  21. Taken out of garage, Don't have good pic but same as this pic. Still in good condition.Small reward if found. Thanks
  22. This is my first post on The Hub..so hello everyone I am in the process of shopping for a new 29" hardtail in the 15-20k price range. Based on searches in the forums, web reviews and spec-by-spec comparisons I've narrowed down my options to the following: 2014 Merida Big.Nine 1500 2015 Momsen AL429 2014 Momsen AL529 The Al529 seems to no longer be an option as most retailers I've spoken to are unable to order 2014 momsens. (probably due to the 2015 range coming in next week) So it's down to the Al429 and the Big nine 1500. Either one will cost roughly R18,000. I am struggling to decide between the specs. The Merida ships with a mid to top range fox fork (Fox 32 Float 29 Evo 100) whereas the Momsen ships with an entry-level Rockshox fork (30 gold) However the momsen does have an XT rear derailleur as well as Stan's ZTR rapid rims which I have heard are quite good. I've also read many positive reviews and a generally favourable sentiment amongst Hub users for Momsen bikes. (not to mention that they are a local brand) So which one would you recommend? I am not too clued up on compontents and their various pros and cons. Basically what I am looking for is a decent, value for money hardtail that can take a beating. Alternative brand/bike suggestions are also welcome I appreciate your feedback!
  23. Hi, broke my carbon frame about two weeks ago... can it be fixed? And if so please forward me contact details.
  24. On my way to work this morning. spotted a guy riding the above mentioned bike on 'the village road' near lynwood bridge pretoria. I was unable to stop and get a picture but he stopped at a shop and so figure he frequents that spot. I don't want to be given k@k for posting this.but the rider definitely didn't look right. hope this helps someone in potentially getting back there bike. PM me for more details
