Product Information

Full details

The Merida One-Twenty 700 is designed for riders seeking a versatile 'do-it-all' trail bike that balances climbing efficiency with descending capability. It is an ideal choice for mountain bikers who tackle diverse terrain, from flowing singletrack to long-distance mountain rides, thanks to its 130mm of suspension travel and progressive geometry. While it excels as a Swiss Army Knife for the trails, riders looking for specialized, heavy-duty downhill performance may find its short-travel design less forgiving on extremely technical or rugged terrain compared to dedicated enduro bikes.

FAQs

What is P-FLEX technology?

P-FLEX is an engineered flexstay suspension design that uses the natural material properties of the frame to provide rear-end compliance, eliminating the need for a rear pivot and reducing maintenance.

How does AGILOMETER sizing work?

It allows riders to choose a frame size based on their preferred riding style—stable (longer reach) or agile (shorter reach)—independently of their height.

Is this bike suitable for long-distance trail riding?

Yes, the One-Twenty 700 is designed to be efficient enough for long mountain days while maintaining the playfulness required for fun trail riding.

Can I use this bike for racing?

It is well-suited for marathon-style trail racing or events where climbing efficiency and descending control are both required.

How often should I service the suspension?

It is recommended to follow the RockShox service intervals, typically requiring a lower leg service every 50 hours and a full service once a year.

What is the max tire width compatible with this frame?

The frame is designed for modern trail tires; please consult the technical specifications sheet for the exact clearance measurements.

Troubleshooting

Suspension feels harsh or bottoms out easily

Adjust the air pressure in your RockShox suspension units to correctly match your rider weight and verify the rebound settings.

Drivetrain skipping or noisy shifting

Check the derailleur hanger alignment and adjust the cable tension via the barrel adjuster on the shifter.

Brakes feel soft or lack stopping power

Check for air in the hydraulic lines and perform a brake bleed, or check if the pads are contaminated with oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Highly versatile for both climbing and descending
Low-maintenance suspension design via P-FLEX
Adjustable handling characteristics with AGILOMETER sizing
Strong stopping power from 4-piston brakes

Cons

Short travel may be limited for extreme gravity/enduro use
Aluminum frame lacks the weight benefits of carbon fiber
Requires regular suspension tuning for optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup is essential to get the most out of the One-Twenty 700. Begin by setting the sag on your RockShox suspension according to your body weight, following the recommended psi settings found in the manufacturer's manual. The AGILOMETER system allows you to experiment with different reach profiles, so take time to test your preferred handling style. For maintenance, the P-FLEX design reduces the number of pivot points needing service, but you should still perform routine checks on all bolts to ensure they remain at the recommended torque specifications. Keep the 12-speed drivetrain clean and lubricated to ensure crisp shifting, and regularly check brake pads for wear given the high-performance nature of the 4-piston system.
