Merida Ninety Six 8000 Cross Country Race Bike Matt Steel Blue (2021) Bikes

Merida’s Ninety Six 8000 is the ultimate setup for any discerning Cross Country Racer wanting a fast and efficient climber, that is also massively accomplished descender. The new CF4 III Carbon frame with nano matric carbon, increases impact resistance by up to 40%. P-Flex technology makes the pivot point obsolete, allowing the frame to flex near the seat and chainstay. Updated internal cable routing with a wire port headset cap, cleans up the cockpit area. The geometry has been updated with modern preferences, with a slacker head angle, steeper seat angle, a longer wheelbase and reach. Non-slip tightening tech allows selected bolts to be tightened via a TORX 30 key from just one side. The Rock Shox SID Ultimate 120mm Air fork and 100mm Rock SIDLuxe Ultimate shock offer remote lockout. A Sram GX Eagle 1×12 drivetrain, Shimano XT Hydro Disc Brakes, Maxxis Minion DHR II, 29×2.3 tyres and an internally routed dropper post ensure the Ninety Six 8000 is podium ready straight out of the box.
