CROSS&DOWN-COUNTRY MOUNTAIN BIKE

Industry type：Transportation

Product model number：NINETY-SIX

MERIDA INDUSTRY CO., Ltd.

When the terrain gets more and more technical in modern MTB racing, the challenge is so demanding for bike brands to require quite contrary features for the racer’s bike. That is to unify a superlight pure XC-bike for fast climbing as well as lots of features relating to additional weight for the demanding downhill sections.

To develop a super bike capable of winning World Cup races, a "cross & down-country" MTB as we define it, Merida teams up with former world champion Jose Hermida to design the state of the art NINETY-SIX. Under the striking appearance, it is full carbon frame with “P-Flex” rear-stays integrating the rear pivot to the carbon structure. The frame geometry is designed around a remote activated long travel dropper seat-post as a key feature for excellent downhill performance.

Other features: all cables & hoses for remotes, shifting and rear-brake are routed inside the frame; two water-bottles find their place inside the frame’s front triangle; & more..

It was more than half a century ago in a trip to the United States, when Mr. Ike Tseng, an engineer and businessman from Taiwan, was overwhelmed by an infamous sign stood at the front door of a bike shop saying no repair was for Taiwan-made bicycles because of their awful quality. That sign since triggered Ike’s ambition to focus on the production of high-quality bicycles when he made up his mind to establish Merida in 1972. Ater years of being just a factory behind the OEM business model, in late 1980s Merida started to turn its name into a real bicycle brand that stands for quality, innovation and reliability in the international markets. Eventually it turned out to be a decades-long road for Merida to start from the scratch to become a notable international high-end bicycle brand. Now being a trusted elite brand of bikes and e-bikes in the international markets, Merida is honored by Interbrand as the 12th Best Taiwan Global brands in 2023 with a brand value USD494 million.
