FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this bike?

It is an all-rounder trail bike designed for everything from flowy singletrack to long-distance mountain riding.

Can I run this bike as tubeless?

Yes, the Merida Expert TR rims are tubeless-ready.

What does P-FLEX technology do?

It allows the frame to flex in specific areas to enhance suspension performance and reduce total weight.

How do I determine the right size?

Use the AGILOMETER sizing system, which allows you to adjust reach independently of the frame size.

What type of brakes does the One-Twenty 700 use?

It features SRAM DB8 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes for consistent stopping power.

Troubleshooting

Drivetrain skipping gears

Adjust the barrel adjuster on the rear derailleur to fine-tune cable tension.

Brake lever feels spongy

The hydraulic system likely needs to be bled to remove trapped air bubbles.

Suspension bottoming out

Add volume spacers to the fork or shock, or increase air pressure to suit rider weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup starts with using the AGILOMETER system to choose the correct size for your riding style. Ensure the suspension sag is set to the manufacturer's recommended 25-30% for optimal performance. The bike features a threaded bottom bracket, which simplifies service and reduces creaking compared to press-fit alternatives. For care, regularly check the internal cable routing for any tension issues and ensure the pivot points are kept clean. Always keep the tubeless setup topped up with sealant to maintain the integrity of the 29-inch wheel system. The bike is designed for longevity, but an annual full service by a certified mechanic is recommended to maintain the performance of the hydraulic brake system and drivetrain.
