Merida Ninety-Six 5000D - Weight Limit?

[biscuit]

Any Body ridden the ninety-six 5000D?

 

What are your thoughts on the bike itself and do you think it will hold under a 95 kg rider?

I know that there is no weight limit on the 96 5000d and i know that one has been ridden by somebody for about a year now at about 100kg's, the bike handles and climbs brilliantly

That is not strictly true, the warranty on the carbon frame is only valid up to 120kg. If you're heavier than that the warranty is void. (This is as per Hot Spot Cycles in Atterbury)

if you heavier then 120kg, and you riding a mountain bike even your medical aid is void!!!! Only joking, but it must be a tough sport for someone over 120 kg.... i'm 75kg and it hurts like hell!!

I was 125 when I started, am now down to 112. It's not really that bad, your legs are strong from carrying all that weight around.
