On 09/05/2010, a dream became true not only for José Antonio Hermida: In form of his Gold Medal at the XC World Championships in Mont Sainte Anne (Canada), the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM pro rider took another important step also for his main sponsor MERIDA within their successful cooperation: The sympathetic Spaniard’s World Championship title was also the 11th World Championship win in the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM’s comprehensive history and the very first triumph in the Olympic MTB discipline of men’s Cross Country on MERIDA! Since 2004, the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM has been collecting awe-inspiring international successes with unbelievable continuity: Besides countless wins at World Cup races, there are also seven European Vice-Champion titles as well as eleven European Marathon and XC Championship triumphs – not to mention eleven World Championship Gold Medals plus, respectively, one Olympic Gold and Silver Medal. Another 14 National Championship titles, overall World Cup victories for rider and team as well as an ever-increasing list of successes at national MTB races around the world mean for MERIDA not only fame and honour as main sponsor of the most successful MTB team of all times. In fact, the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM riders “take home” something even more important from their races: Professional experiences with newly developed material, highly valuable feedback for a continuous development process and thus the good feeling for MERIDA to construct bikes making the world’s best riders also the world’s fastest! This expert knowledge is also a benefit for you: The MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM’s spirit is inherent in each of our bikes.
Research & Development
Developed in Germany In the Swabian town of Magstadt (Germany), engineers and designers work together closely when it comes to the transformation of ideas into perfect MERIDA bikes.
Only the art of frame construction once distinguished good bikes from very good ones. But those times are long gone: Cutting-edge processing options for wellproven substances (e. g. aluminium) or the specific characteristics of sensitive basic materials (e. g. carbon) require maximum attention when new bikes are designed today. Geometric adaption to a bike’s respective functional range and the kinematic complexity of full-suspension rear stays have turned bike development into a real science as well. Because bikes are no longer just bikes: They are the results of many technological and constructional factors whose grand total guarantees that a bike finally fulfils the exact operation purpose it was designed for – provided that the concept is thought-out. That’s why the designers and developers of our R&D headquarters in the Swabian town of Magstadt work together closely when ideas become perfect MERIDA bikes. In doing so, our R&D experts aim directly and right from the start at the creation of products that delight our customers with reliable functioning in every later situation – no matter if bikes for kids, trekking models or high-tech series like our MTBs of World Cup fame.
Juergen Falke (m.), MERIDA’s Head of Design, coordinates the teamwork.
In this context, especially MERIDA’s global orientation with distribution in more than 70 countries brings immense advantages: Around the world, our marketing and distribution experts hunt for currents trends, keep close contact to leading international bike magazines and monitor the development of all important global markets. Their input is one of the factors that help the chassis engineers, designers and programmers of MERIDA’s German R&D team to define the specification sheet of each bike for the new season. During the initial concept discussion, all involved specialists resolve basic questions concerning frame material and application area of the bike-to-be. Then first computer studies are compiled. This early stage involves cutting-edge engineering tools like “Igorion” (suspension software for chassis optimization) or “Pro-E” (3D all-solid simulation). At the same time, our experts set their sights always firmly on the end product: Necessary clearances like tire widths or the disc brake’s rotor size are already taken into account as constants. After the final computer calculation of the study, first aluminium prototypes are welded according to this specification – and then checked in reality, inter alia, by the world’s fastest test riders: The pro athletes of our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM.

Tested by pro riders The MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM pro riders give highly valuable feedback during the development of new bikes. Every MERIDA therefore benefits from their comprehensive knowledge and the brilliance of their international successes.
Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjå, Hannes Genze, José Antonio Hermida, Rudi van Houts, Jochen Kaess, Andreas Kugler and Ralph Naef – no other elite pro MTB team comes back from the planet’s race courses with more success and experience than the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM. Olympic Gold and Silver, World, Europe and National Championship triumphs, Overall World Cup victory… this team has already achieved everything that pro riders around the globe are working hard for during every season. But to MERIDA, these top-class athletes mean much more than permanent guarantors for constant successes: They are the best and most reliable source for valuable feedback with respect to the development of new bikes. As soon as the R&D engineers of MERIDA’s German development centre have finished their first working stage, the new model stands by as welded aluminium prototype. This pretest bike is equipped with current season’s components and is still far away from the later serial version. At this point, weight or visual appearance still don’t matter – these aspects are discussed later. Instead, the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM pro riders and Juergen Falke as MERIDA’s Head of Design directly go about nothing else than a very first practical test of the new development’s geometry and chassis kinematics. In doing so, the sensible “backside meters” of Ralph Naef and colleagues detect even the smallest evolution options which are logged immediately in detail. Seat angle too steep or steer angle to shallow?
Great cooperation: Juergen Falke and MULTIVAN MERIDA pro rider Ralph Naef (r.) test a prototype on Majorca.
Could the chain stays be longer for more riding stability – or should the bike be more agile? Does the calculated top tube length correspond correctly to the seating position required by the respective range of application? How sensitive and propulsion-neutral is the chassis? With the background of countless training and racing kilometres, no prototype in the world is able to deceive the pro riders of our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM – mostly to the delight of our developers and always for the benefit of all MERIDA customers. Back in MERIDA’s German R&D headquarters, the qualified input is processed meticulously before the next run on the test track – and then again until all participants at this stage of development award the pretest bike with top grades. Then the engineers take a back seat to our designers. According to strict specifications in terms of target weight, referential stiffness or particular manufacturing requirements, the raw aluminium prototype is transformed into a perfectly styled bike – eagerly waiting to be produced in MERIDA’s Taiwanese company headquarters.

Utterly reliable manufacturing Manufactured according to ultimate quality standards and tested under toughest laboratory conditions: MERIDA represents reliability.
Your car requires a biennial check by the Technical Inspection Authority – and your bike? Our customers can be sure that all MERIDA bikes are manufactured according to ultimate quality standards whose observance is monitored by independent testing institutes. Because MERIDA is an international brand that benefits twice from its corporate structure: On the one hand, our R&D department in the Swabian town of Magstadt stands for the highest level of German development performance. And as soon as the European R&D experts have completed their task, the world’s leading bike-manufacturing nation takes the reins: Taiwan. Since 1972, MERIDA is domiciled in Yuanlin, Taiwan. No other international location merges more bike-manufacturing know-how than the metropolitan area of Taichung/Taiwan. No matter if in-house manufacturing of elaborate aluminium frames or creation of complex carbon frames by premium production partners: All MERIDA bikes are crafted according to cutting-edge aspects and guarantee long-lasting reliability. This outstanding quality is confirmed not only by the superb test results of leading international bike magazines, but also and especially by regular in-house tests in compliance with obligatory standards – and by the external test labs that examine all MERIDA products with greatest possible care.
In MERIDA’s own test lab, all engineer standards are checked for compliance.
Before MERIDA’s parent plant in Yuanlin starts the serial production of a new bike, first CNC-machined pre-production models have already been tested meticulously in the European headquarters. So test samples in all frame sizes are checked according to mandatory pan-European standards (EN 14764, 14765, 14766 or 14781; depending on model). This includes inspections of headset and BB stiffness as well as comfort control with respect to frame and fork whose lateral stabilities are recorded in virtue of the renowned “TOUR” standard – supplemented by the fatigue and overload tests of external testing partners like Velotech or EFBe. If and only if all those QA tests are passed within their respective limiting values while also meeting MERIDA’s extra safety margin, we consider a bike to be ready for serial production – and the latter begins in Taiwan.

There are many possibilities to construct the rear stay of a full suspension MTB (short: “fully”). In this context, one key question concerns the position of the rocker link’s pivoting point. The chain position has great influence on the mutual interference between drivetrain forces and suspension system. Thus it has to be clarified which of the 27 or 30 gears is used principally: Especially in “favourite gears”, the function should be as neutral as possible. Another necessity is the individual calculation of the angle at which the suspension strut is triggered by the rocker link during deflection. Only then, an adequate spring characteristic can be achieved. Therefore, e. g. an XC racer and a “long-stroke” All Mountain bike must be constructed in completely different ways – even if both follow the same basic principle. All these aspects are taken into account by the “M.O.R.E.” concept of our R&D experts.
The type of suspension system that serves as “fully basis” is not decisive – nor the question if “single-pivot”, “multi-pivot” or “VPP”. Important instead: The amount of efficiency and success with which the respective system is realized – because every chassis should react as sensitively as possible to the ground while the drivetrain influences should be as small as possible. These two characteristics seem to be mutually exclusive. In MY 2012, all MERIDA fullies with a suspension travel between 100 and 140 mm are constructed as “supported single-pivot” bikes. In spite of this shared basic concept, the models NINETY-NINE, ONE-TWENTY and ONE-FORTY function in totally different ways. For optimum definition of all relevant data, our R&D experts work together closely with the pro riders of our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM. Simultaneously, they cooperate also with the producers of the suspension elements to find the best possible configuration among dozens of options. An effort that bikers experience literally – because MERIDA gives you M.O.R.E.!

Ninety-Nine The evolution of the XC fully
Since its introduction to the market for Season 2008, our high-end racing fully NINETY-SIX has been winning virtually tons of laurels: The bike press raved about this thoroughbred racing machine characterized by nocompromise propulsion, minimum weight and so far unmatched stiffness data. Already its prototype catapulted our MULTIVAN MERIDA pro rider Ralph Naef to Vice World Championship in 2007. And until Season 2011, our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM rode the NINETY-SIX always into the top ranks. Therefore this excellent bike’s designated successor had to accept a considerable inheritance. Intensive development work was necessary to realize the NINETY-NINE as an evolutionary stage of the 100 mm racing fully that was consistent with the precursor’s earnings. So our R&D team followed the objective to conserve all excellent NINETY-SIX genes with their optimization for racing and to transfer them to a new bike that meets the current trends of the XC World Cup circus. There had to be speediness, agility, high traction and neutral suspension performance even on steepest ascents – as well as sufficient sensitivity for technically demanding downhill sections plus, especially, optimization for the 2x10 cranksets that represent the current racing standard. The latter are mostly operated under utilization of their big chain rings and require appropriately adapted kinematics. Juergen Falke (MERIDA’s Head of Design) states, “The better is the enemy of the good. With the NINETY-NINE, we have created a characteristic racing machine that uses any open development potential of its precursor to the full extent. It was hardly possible to outclass the weight and stiffness data of our NINETY-SIX – but the successor to the throne stands for an absolutely new level of handling and suspension performance.” Main frame, seat and chain stays as well as the rocker link for suspension strut linkage consist completely of an intelligent mix between High Modulus (HM), Ultra High Modulus (UHM) and Intermediate (IM) carbon fibres. The reinforcing “Double Chamber” technology in top and down tube enhances bending and torsional stiffness once again. Together with the current 165 mm suspension strut that is shorter in comparison to the previous version, the NINETY-NINE frame* achieves an outstanding weight of ultra-light 1.85 kg (incl. shock) – in spite of the mighty BB30 bottom bracket or the sensitively reacting and durable mounting of the complete rear stay in sealed groove ball bearings! “State-of-the-art” are also the tapered steerer (increasing from 1 1/8 to 1.5”) and the post-mount standard for direct mounting of the rear disc brake. In addition, the NINETY-NINE offers 100 mm front and rear suspension travel. Together with the racing-orientated kinematics and a chassis that is completely lockable from the cockpit, this design means nothing more than our next attack towards the World Cup’s top ranks!
Kinematically clever: The suspension’s no-compromise adaption to double cranksets.

Big.Nine Ingenious engineering performance
Meanwhile, MTBs with 29“ wheelsets (“Twentyniners”) are unstoppable – and deservedly so: Compared with 26” bikes, they offer many advantages at only a few limitations that can be compensated nearly completely via competent engineering and valuable pro rider feedback. With the BIG.NINE series – and especially with the racing rocket BIG.NINE Carbon that has already been tested successfully by the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM – MERIDA has created an amazing 29er whose advantages have been celebrated enthusiastically already in form of the previous model TWENTYNINE Lite. While the journal MountainBIKE headlined “Tester’s Darling” (MountainBIKE 5/11), also the magazine bike elected the MERIDA as “our testers’ favourite bike” (bike 1/11). Thus Juergen Falke (MERIDA’s Head of Design) had created a bike that caused a successful sensation right from the start. Only a few features of the celebrated concept could still be improved – a process which utilized all racing genes of our O.NINE (José Hermida’s World Champion bike) and finally resulted in the BIG.NINE. As centre piece of the top version BIG. NINE Carbon, the frame weighs below 1100 g – despite internal cable routing, mighty BB30 bottom bracket and the “Tapered Steerer” that increases from 1 1/8 to 1.5”. The very low weight is enabled by cutting-edge carbon fibre technologies (e. g. “Nano Matrix Carbon”) that generate an equally ultra-light and ultra-stiff “Structural Element Monocoque”: Construction elements that experience extremely high loads (such as the connection between down tube and BB shell) are connected via internal sleeves while “Tube-to-Tube” technology applies to less stressed sections. In this way, the entire construction gets an outstanding STW (“Stiffness-to-Weight”) ratio – actively supported by “Double Chamber” technology in top and down tube. “Double Chamber” already provides the carbon frames of O.NINE & Co. with excellent bending and lateral stiffness. But even the best basic material is useless if a 29er is not thought-out down to the very last detail: The bigger wheels cause geometry changes that require comprehensive engineering skills. For example, MERIDA solves the typical problems with high front ends via an extremely short head tube – resulting in maximum pressure on the front wheel. Simultaneously, the BIG.NINE’s “X-Taper” head tube outclasses even the O.NINE’s stiffness data while compensating the less torsion-resistant fork’s longer leverage as well as the bigger (and therefore softer) wheels. Thanks to its “Flex Stay” seat stays, the BIG.NINE offers excellent comfort that is supplemented by a BB30 section whose stiffness is even 20 % higher than in the case of our already superb O.NINE. As a true piece of engineering art, the BIG.NINE is complemented by asymmetric chain stays, a curved seat tube with direct-mount front derailleur, post-mount disc receivers and 142 mm dropouts for floating axles.
Roll in peace: „Flex Stay“ rear stay and 27.2 mm seat post provide enormous comfort.

One-Twenty The athletic tourer
For Season 2011, our All Mountain tourer ONETWENTY got a new family member: In form of the ONE-TWENTY Carbon, our engineers complemented the “carefree” all-rounder’s broadband character with additional racing ambitions and sent the bike to the world’s long-distance race courses. With success: Already the aluminium ONE-TWENTY version had received a “position in the Marathon starting block” (bike 1/10) from international bike journals. After this, the light-weight and stiff carbon model was even described as “velocity-addicted racing machine” (MountainBIKE 3/11). So our ONE-TWENTY Carbon collected premium results on all tackled testing grounds. For Season 2012, the aluminium version is lifted to its next stage of evolution: From now on, its revised kinematics differs completely from the carbon model’s concept. Thus our 2012 ONE-TWENTY accentuates even more the 120 mm category’s “carefree” suitability for every day. The latter has turned this bike class virtually into a kind of two-wheeled “Swiss pocket knife” – especially for tour riders. The distinctive differences compared to our still racingorientated ONE-TWENTY Carbon are obvious already at first sight: The hydroformed one-piece top tube with support against the seat tube does not only speak an organic design language. Due to its specific construction, it also provides large inseam height via small standover height – and therefore a lot of freedom for active cycling. Another result of HFS (“Hydroforming System”) manufacturing technology is the new seat tube with its directly integrated adaptors for the also newly designed rocker link that drives the suspension strut. Compared with MY 2011, this aluminium element has been slimmed down by impressive 40 % – and weighs now even less than its carbon equivalent from the previous year. All in all, the MERIDA R&D team was able to reduce the ONE-TWENTY’s frame weight to low 2500 g* – again a perceptible improvement especially with respect to long climbs. Together with the “Tapered Steerer” (increasing from 1 1/8 to 1.5”) and the torsion-resistant BB section, this low total weight yields an outstanding STW (“Stiffness-to-Weight”) ratio for an All Mountain tourer. Less obvious but all the more perceptible: The ONETWENTY’s kinematics that has been revised for 2012. From now on, the chassis is designed for a more effective utilization of available suspension travel – the 120 mm feel considerably bigger to the rider. The new plus flat steering angle of just 68.5° underlines and enhances the ONE-TWENTY’s suitability for every day once more: Especially on rough downhills, it offers improved running smoothness and tracking stability while lifting the bike’s strengths to a new level. Thanks to its overall geometry, our ONE-TWENTY remains an immensely swift and agile model. In 2012, it is the MERIDA with the broadest range of application – once again.

Reacto Aero racer with outstanding comfort
Still a cautious trend at Eurobike 2010, but in MY 2012 an inherent part of nearly every road-racing program: Cutting-edge aero racing machines that break the visual monotony of conventional frame shapes without losing a premium racer’s strong virtues. At the pole position right from the start: Our MERIDA REACTO as one of the world’s most universal aero racers – with even more comfort in 2012. After the REACTO’s introduction at Eurobike, the first comparative test mentioned “only positive reactions” (tour magazine 2/11) at the beginning of 2011. Besides design language perfection down to the very last detail and the low frame weight of 1048 g*, Juergen Falke’s (MERIDA’s Head of Design) latest success especially persuaded through its classic virtues: In spite of the aero design, our REACTO achieved initial stiffness data otherwise only known from the best traditional racing machines – and thus outclassed its competitors clearly from the outset. Therefore also the second leading bike journal RoadBike attested the MERIDA REACTO “precise handling in every situation” (RoadBike 3/11). Obviously, our R&D experts did their homework very well when they used the multiaward-winning SCULTURA EVO as a role model for the derivation of a racing machine with modern semiaero design. Thanks to the mighty BB30 bottom bracket with its stiffness of 125 N/mm and a steerer stiffness of 84 N/mm at the tapered head tube (RoadBike 3/11), our REACTO has proven right from the start that its “Structure Element Carbon” frame consisting of High Modulus (HM) fibres is well beyond all doubt. The “Double Chamber” technology in the down tube enhances the carbon construction’s torsional stiffness once again via a transversely integrated rib – actively supported by a full-carbon fork with “tapered steerer”. Thus this bike is designed for pure propulsion and maximum control. The second REACTO model year delights with perfect integration of electronic Di2 shifting systems – and with the radical approach of providing contemporary comfort to aero racers that are, otherwise, perceived as very rigid: The magic word “S-Flex Comfort” represents a completely revised seat post which adapts the aero frame design like its precursor while still being fully adjustable. Due to its exceptional window construction with rear-side elastomer and integrated carbon compound spring, the patent-pending “S-Flex” achieves comfort data offered so far only by the best slim 27.2 mm seat posts – at a sensational net weight of 201 g and without any restrictions to the rider’s own weight. Compared with the 2011 version, our new “SFlex” post works independently from saddle pullout. In every adjustment position, it hence offers comfort characteristics that may turn our REACTO into the probably most complete aero racing machine of Season 2012.
Rear window: The new „S-Flex“ post increases our REACTO’s comfort once again.

XC Race / Marathon Nintey-Nine If technical XC course or short Marathon distance – the formula for success is 2x10! Meanwhile, nearly all racers use a double chain ring to leave behind their competitors. Developed in cooperation with the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM pro riders, our NINETY-NINE of MY 2012 is a high-end race fully whose kinematics has been optimized systematically for 2x10. A (if required) completely lockable chassis characterizes this ultra-light and ultra-stiff bike as no-compromise racing rocket – with aggressive sprint performance and drivetrain neutrality plus sensitivity for maximum traction in open mode. This 2012 MERIDA premiere starts, respectively, with two carbon and aluminium versions.

XC Race / Marathon Nintey-Six Triple is dead? Long live triple! Until the “changing of the guard” in form of our NINETY-NINE, the NINETYSIX has been considered rightly as reference on World Cup routes. Also in 2012, there are good reasons to choose this extremely light-weight and stiff race fully as best option: Whenever a (marathon) course or fast tour requires a third chain ring, the long-time favourite of MULTIVAN MERIDA pro rider Ralph Naef is still unbeatable – thanks to adequately adapted kinematics. Racy, aggressive and equipped with a (if required) completely lockable chassis: As limited XT model, our NINETY-SIX remains a full-carbon rocket also in 2012 and saves power reserves due to its brilliant response characteristics. Rivals should beware!
Travel Fork 120 mm Shock 120 mm
Marathon / tour One-Twenty Our second 2012 premiere wears a re-engineered aluminium dress: Geometry and kinematics of the 120 mm fully ONE-TWENTY have been revised completely. Thanks to even better utilization of suspension travel, this means another step towards the universal idea of a touring bike. This All Mountain Sport model is characterized by slightly flatter angles and a chassis that feels “bigger”. Simultaneously, the carbon version ONE-TWENTY Carbon (already introduced in 2011) still delights with its propulsion-orientated nature. Not only due to its outstanding frame weight of 2080 g (incl. shock!), this two-wheeler remains the bike of choice for technically demanding marathons or tours up to trips across the Alps.
Travel Fork 140 mm Shock 140 mm
All Mountain One-Forty The opulent suspension travel of 140 mm ensures big smiles during soulful trailsurfing trips and offers calming reserves for obstacle-rich descents or fast downhills. At the same time, the chassis of our All Mountain fully ONE-FORTY – available as ultra-light carbon or robust aluminium version – is shock-absorbing enough to master even drops in a safe way. Low total weight, drivetrain-neutral kinematics plus, depending on model, lowerable suspension forks enable also problemfree cycling on steep and longer ascents – ideal for all riders who want to absolve their trips across the Alps not only with great downhill power. Thanks to a rugged 12 mm quick release axle at the rear, our ultra-light ONE-FORTY Carbon enjoys this fun in equal manner.

XC Race / Marathon
Ninety-Nine The evolution of thoroughgoingness
The redefinition of XC and Marathon racing: Regarding utilization with a 2x10 crankset, nearly no other 100 mm fully has been developed in a more thoroughgoing way than our brand-new racing machine NINETY-NINE. After several years, the close cooperation between the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM and our R&D experts resulted in a successor for our “state-of-the-art” racing fully NINETY-SIX: The equally light-weight NINETY-NINE is eager to cycle into the bike world’s top ranks with a comparatively stiffer BB section and a significantly more efficient chassis. Thanks to its “X-Taper” head tube, the 100 mm front end delights with superb directional stability and stiffness. The 99 mm rear section is sensitive and drivetrain-neutral. Combined with a geometry that is optimized for propulsion, these features turn our NINETYNINE doubtlessly into a thoroughbred racer. This is underlined by a chassis that can be locked completely via remote lockout while also offering frontal lowering* – for the essential extra in terms of sprint potential and enough front wheel pressure on steep ascents. Main frame, rocker link and rear stay are full-carbon elements that facilitate the struggle against clock and competitors by saving as much weight as possible. So the top version NINETY-NINE Carbon Team-D weighs just 8.9 kg** (at frame size 18”)! But our new bike does not only convince on the scales – also its chassis performance sets new benchmarks in the 100 mm category: The kinematics is optimized for 2x10 drivetrains with racing suitability and works – due to M.O.R.E. technology – identically at all frame sizes. Moreover, the frame is reinforced via “Double Chamber” profiles while its high BB stiffness of 80 N/mm saves every bit of sprint power.

MArathon / Tour
One-Twenty Entirely according to your taste
120 mm fullies epitomize modern touring bikes: Light enough and with drivetrain-neutral chassis for easy climbing. Suspension travel and geometry provide reserves for demanding downhills – top for applications from tours through low mountain ranges up to trips across the Alps. Ab initio, our ONE-TWENTY and the light-weight carbon version ONE-TWENTY Carbon have been armed with full-throttle genes – until now. Introduced as recently as last year, the ONE-TWENTY Carbon continues its Marathon trail of success with an almost unaltered configuration. But the aluminium equivalent has been revised completely – basic idea of this evolution: The clear separation of the two characters. With its tight and extremely propulsion-orientated geometry, the ONE-TWENTY Carbon is still first choice for long-distance racers. In contrast, our new ONE-TWENTY is considerably “tourier” now and tackles the trails with greatly improved utilization of suspension travel. The characteristic differences are obvious already at first sight: The organically shaped hydroforming aluminium frame looks visually smoother while design and overall weight represent technical top performance. The one-piece top tube nestles against the seat tube in a solidly supported way. The seat tube, on the other hand, offers integrated adaptors for the ultra-light rocker link between rear stay and suspension strut. Result: A low frame weight of 2500 g* – combined with superb stiffness plus equally sensitive and neutral kinematics. With its “touring-friendly” angles, the new ONE-TWENTY is still agile while delighting with perceptibly more running smoothness now. With other words: Stability and safety especially for fast and challenging downhills.

All Mountain
One-Forty Built for the rollercoaster of a biker’s life
Enjoy life’s constant ups and downs! Because our 140 mm All Mountain model ONE-FORTY will keep you smiling all the time: Downhill – because the highly shock-absorbing chassis and the downhillorientated kinematics turn all root passages or obstacle-rich trails into great playgrounds for your riding skills. And uphill – because our R&D experts have taken into account that not all riders want to transport themselves and their bikes solely in funiculars towards the summit: 140 mm are also prime partners for trips across the Alps. Although all three ONE-FORTY versions differ basically, they are distinct like a family’s siblings. They share a chassis featuring smooth uphill performance and exemplary drivetrain neutrality – supplemented by a lowerable front section* and the option of complete lockout. In case of our aluminium models, the conical “X-Taper” head tube (increasing from 1 1/8 to 1.5”) provides the mighty front fork with strong guidance to guarantee tracking stability and precise handling. Thanks to “Double Chamber” technology, our ONEFORTY Carbon’s main frame delights with outstanding overall stiffness and a – for composite material – excellently high robustness that corresponds to the tough purpose of use. The aluminium and carbon versions are equally characterized by trail-optimized features: A flat steering angle for a lot of downhill running smoothness plus a steep seat tube for superb climbing capacity. Broad handlebars and short cockpits ensure maximum control while completely lowerable seat posts enable active cycling on technically demanding trail sections – occasionally and comfortably via remote control*.

Sport Matts Lite / Matts TFS
Active Matts
With two TWENTY-NINE Lite versions, last year’s MERIDA premiere in terms of 29” bikes was more than successful. From 2012, our BIG.NINE family represents a total of nine models that cover all areas of “big-wheeled” mountain biking: From the extremely light-weight and stiff BIG.NINE CARBON (already utilized successfully by the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM) to our BIG.NINE Lite with identical racing qualities, all 29” bikers benefit from increased traction, enhanced comfort and superb riding stability. The same applies to our outstanding tourer BIG.NINE TFS with its full suitability for daily use. All BIG.NINE versions offer 100 mm suspension travel – lockable and with a model-specific lowering option.
As our top-of-the-line version for 2012, the World Champion bike of MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM pro rider José Antonio Hermida proudly wears the UCI’s rainbow colours on its decor. Also new for the current and gently modified model year of our outstanding carbon rockets: From now on, we offer two O.NINE frame options. The “Superlite” series is systematically manufactured towards lowest possible weight while the slightly more economical “Pro” frames range around 1000 g. All three 2012 carbon hardtails feature 100 mm front suspension travel with comfortable lockout from the handlebar. The top version’s fork can even be lowered by 20 mm to ensure even more front wheel pressure during steep uphills.
Our “Sport” hardtails are inspired by the racing geometry of our high-end carbon rocket MERIDA O.NINE – and the best choice for all racers and tourers who are looking for an aluminium bike with propulsion-optimized performance. Because all nine 2012 versions are manufactured from high-quality “Racelite 61” or “Prolite 66” aluminium that is, in case of some models, transformed via “Technoforming System” (TFS) into exciting frame shapes. In addition, our Lite and TFS bikes share quality attributes such as “Smooth Welding” technology (for brilliantly precise, smooth welding seams), elaborate paintwork and lockable 100 mm front suspension travel. Eight models feature disc brakes while light-weight V-brakes are also on offer.
MTBs are pieces of sports equipment, aren’t they? In case of our MATTS family, this question is not easy to answer – because a MATTS represents many aspects: It’s a light-weight MTB hardtail that consists of high-quality “Racelite 6061” aluminium and has 100 mm suspension travel. In equal measure, it is a robust tourer whose moderately sporty geometry provides cycling fun for hours. And a MATTS is also a reliable partner for every day: Thanks to “K-Mount”, it offers a mounting possibility for a kick stand while a rear-carrier can be installed as well. But with its new, organically shaped down tube and its now mightier head tube (also new for 2012), a MATTS is first of all: A premium bike – like every MERIDA.

Twentynine
BIG.NINE Big wheels, big know-how
Nearly no other bike category has caused such a sensation: “Twentyniners” are MTBs with a 29“ wheelset and numerous advantages. Especially our BIG.NINE Carbon Team demonstrates impressively that 29ers are a great choice for many biking occasions in 2012: Already at its very first racing event (the stage race “Cape Epic”), this model carried the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM to Ranks 2, 6 and 10. Without doubt, these big off-roaders offer several physically irrefutable advantages (see p. 40). But there’s still the question: Who benefits? In case of our big BIG.NINE family: Everyone from leisure cyclists to MTB pro riders! Because MERIDA has put the celebrated virtues of previous year’s model TWENTY-NINE Lite on a broader base that represents all “big-wheeled” advantages on four different levels now: Two carbon frames (“Superlight”, “Pro”) and two aluminium versions (“Lite”, “TFS”) with specific configurations share the know-how of our R&D department. For example, we have not forgotten to design a 29er’s naturally higher front as flat as possible. In spite of shorter chain stays, the rear stay provides enough clearance for broader tires. And the superbly balanced BB position enables better uphill and downhill performance in equal measure. Thus it does not matter if racers choose an ultra-stiff carbon frame with a sensationally low weight below 1.100 g – or if leisure pedalists enjoy increased comfort, perceptibly improved riding safety and robustness suitable for everyday use: With our BIG.NINE, all bikers experience literally big cycling fun!

Know-how
Geometry Comparison 29 Inch / 26 Inch
MTBs with a 29“ wheelset offer several advantages: Regardless of frame material, traction and running smoothness are perceptibly higher. Moreover, the little extra weight is also faced by better comfort.
Good to know that certain things are very straightforward sometimes – such as the much discussed comparison between “conventional” 26 inch MTBs and their increasingly booming “Twentyniner” equivalents. Here and there, it is even predicted that 29” bikes will – allegedly due to their general superiority – displace their 26” prime fathers completely one day. But that prediction is as wrong as, vice versa, the fact is correct that Twentyniners have some unquestionable advantages.

Compared with 26“ bikes, already their bigger tires give Twentyniners a little more traction and comfort: The larger contact surface puts the rubber on the ground in a more advantageous way. This results in less rolling resistance and better grip – be it up- or downhill, during cornering or braking. At the same time, the larger tire cross-section with its increased volume means better damping and therefore more comfort. 29” wheels have also a positive effect when the rider crosses over obstacles (e. g. roots) or rough terrain: The bigger wheels hit the obstacle at a flatter angle and are slowed down less strongly. Thus less energy is necessary to master the bump – this physical characteristic simply feels “softer” for the rider. Furthermore, comparatively higher comfort is also generated by a Twentyniner’s relatively longer seat and chain stays which are required to provide adequate space for the bigger wheels. A Twentyniner’s riding stability is comparatively higher, too: The longer wheelbase offers more running smoothness which is positively perceptible especially in downhill direction. But the relative BB position plays also an important role. At identical “BB height” (measured from the ground), a Twentyniner’s bottom bracket sits comparatively lower beneath the imaginary hub axle (“BB drop”) – with equal advantages in terms of up- and downhill cycling: On steep ascents, a 29” front wheel tends to rise considerably later. During steep and technically demanding downhill runs, the pilot gets the feeling of “tumbling” over the handlebar perceptibly later as well. 29 Zoll 26 Zoll

O.Nine The World Champion’s bike
Just two words: World Champion! In Season 2010, the O.NINE replaced our CARBON FLX that had already won World Champion laurels. Since then, it has been carrying our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM from triumph to triumph. Already during its first “term of office”, the O.NINE followed the big footsteps of its successful forerunner: On 09/05/10, it catapulted MULTIVAN MERIDA pro rider José A. Hermida to his Men’s XC World Champion title! As the O.NINE is still cycling successfully in the World Cup circus, there has been, actually, no reason to change this outstanding bike. Nevertheless there are some alterations in MY 2012: Besides the World Champion decor, the current team version delights with a complete Sram XX configuration and with the new 100 mm fork DT Swiss XRC Carbon. Thanks to TwinShot technology, the latter can not only be blocked for sprinting, but also be lowered for easier climbing – and thus for even more uphill power! Also new: Easier access to our high-end hardtail as there are two O.NINE frame versions available now. The “Superlight” option consists solely of Ultra High Modulus (UHM) carbon fibres and achieves therefore record weights that are certified individually. On the other hand, the frames of our “Pro” series range just over 1 kg – due to highquality High Modulus (HM) fibres whose stiffness data equal the “Superlight” version’s level! As a matter of course, professional and amateur racing pilots can carry on trusting in the highest arts of engineering such as the comfortable “Flex Stay” seat stays or the “Double Chamber Technology” that increases the bending and torsional stiffness of the chassis. But do details really matter if a race has ended with 1st Rank again…?

Matts Lite / TFS The all-round talents for racing and touring
When our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM pro riders start the race on their implement O.NINE, they can rely not only upon premium material and a sophisticated mix of components, but also and especially upon a purely propulsion-orientated realization that has been reasoned down to the very last detail by MERIDA’s R&D department: Full pedal power plus comfortable and relaxed seating also on longer routes are only guaranteed if the rider enjoys an optimum position on the bike. This also applies to the high-quality aluminium models MATTS Lite and TFS whose geometries, tube shapes and frame details are inspired by the racing machines of our MULTIVAN MERIDA pro athletes. They follow literally the same (geometric) general framework, but save some money e. g. for tuning or a much-longed-for bike weekend in the mountains. All MERIDA sport hardtails consist of high-quality aluminium and are manufactured by means of elaborate production processes. Thus they are – depending on configuration – perfect partners for ambitious training, racing purposes or day tours with biking buddies. Because no matter if forest road foray or challenging race course: Thanks to 100 mm front suspension travel, MATTS Lite and TFS keep their balance in every situation. For athletic climbing or spontaneous sprints, the front forks can be locked – in case of some versions even comfortably from the handlebar. Weight-saving calliper brakes or powerful disc systems ensure safety while the model-specific shifting range offers 27 or 30 gears. Hence the vast array of options reaches from high-speed downhills to climbs on steepest ascents.

Matts Upgrade for the entry-level series
Since there are MERIDA MTBs, our MATTS family stands for a price-conscious entry into the athletic world of off-road biking: A special production process developed by MERIDA („MATTS“ = MERIDA Advanced TIG-Welding Technology System) turns top-quality aluminium tubes into frames whose geometry carries the athletic character of all MERIDA bikes. Simultaneously, MATTS frames are decidedly less racing-configured and propulsion-orientated – in favour of considerably more comfort and, therefore, full suitability for daily use. For MY 2012, we have upgraded our MATTS family: The new „Speed“ frame delights with larger head tube dimensions for even more steering and directional stability – supported by a completely new down tube that is also a feature of our TFS Pro series. The 100 mm suspension fork at the front enables untroubled bike fun also on farm and logging roads while powerful disc or calliper brakes always provide maximum safety. Thus our MATTS bikes master athletic cycling and everyday tasks with equal ease. Additionally, our R&D experts have already prepared these MTBs for optional rack and kick stand installation. Hence a MATTS is probably one of the most robust and desirable partners for pedal-powered commuting or shopping – unless you don’t miss the shop closing time after your fitness ride…

Dakar For the active youth
Nearly all grown-up cycling enthusiasts might remember their very first bikes – blessed are all those who have good memories of their own introduction to the exciting world of “pedalling around”. With our DAKAR series, we want to generate this wonderful feeling as optimally as possible: MERIDA takes models for kids as seriously as all products for “big bikers”. Because we and all parents know equally well that filial fun ends very quickly if play equipment loses its attraction. Our program for little ones starts with learner models that feature pneumatic tires (12” or 16”) plus removable stabilizers and turn already the youngest children into MERIDA fans. Furthermore, also our versions with 20” or 24“ tires allow serious cycling for kids. From model series 620, all bikes are equipped with a derailleur system that already enables short family tours. And for that adequate style factor on the way to school, we offer, of course, separate models for girls and boys – so MERIDA fans surely get envious glances from classmates already during their very early years. The DAKAR Team is inspired by the “implements” of our MULTIVAN MERIDA pro riders and delights your offspring with really athletic cycling fun – from MY 2012, it even features a powerful disc brake. And just in case your enthused budding bikers favour genuine off-road challenges: Our youth fully NINETY-SIX Junior 624 transforms every forest into an adventure playground! Nice to know that a first own MERIDA will always be remembered with great pleasure.

Lady Bikes
Juliet Outstanding design and functionality
Year after year, marketing strategists think about convincing arguments for lady-specific product programs. It seems to be difficult enough to advertise special designs or distinct functionality. In case of our JULIET models, we enjoy the comfortable situation of getting these arguments from the bike press: The magazine MountainBIKE honoured our ONE-TWENTY Juliet 1000-D as “very good bike” and granted the sought-after “buy recommendation” (MountainBIKE 6/11) – another indication for the fact that MERIDA’s lady-specific concept works very well. In spite of this accolade, our engineers have revised the MTB program for ladies: The fully ONE-TWENTY Juliet has a “tourier” geometry now and utilizes its 120 mm suspension travel in an even better way. In addition, the standover height could be reduced once again via new tube shapes. But the athletic nature remains the same – like that of our hardtail range which is separated into different Pro, Comp and Speed series from 2012. The Pro and Comp frames feature a completely new geometry whose sporty character and 100 mm suspension travel allow also serious off-road tours. These upgrades are underlined by an organic design language that meets the visual requirements of a lady series. The Speed frame features new details as well: Its head tube and two-piece down tube represent perfect integration into our new JULIET family. On the other hand, there are no changes in terms of configuration and components – all “interfaces” between lady and bike (saddle, cockpit, grips) are specifically adapted to the female anatomy. Our road bikes demonstrate their usual best, too: Thanks to a relaxed but also moderately athletic seating position, female JULIET bikers can enjoy maximum cycling fun also on asphalt.

Know-how
Geometry Comparison JULIET / MATTS TFS XC
Several important features distinguish our lady-specific JULIET bikes from MERIDA models for male athletes. For good reason: Only if SHE pedals on an optimally adapted bike, full cycling fun is guaranteed – be it MTB or road racer for trips with or without companions. The essential is JULIET. Already at first sight, it’s obvious that a JULIET MTB hardtail follows (e. g. compared with a MATTS TFS) a considerably different geometry with slightly longer head tube, slightly shorter top tube and a somewhat lower BB position. Not because our R&D department thinks that bikes for women should be less athletic than models for men – the exact opposite is true: Only if a lady is integrated optimally into her bike, she can enjoy also sporty and longer tours to the full extent. Thanks to the stronger top tube slope towards the seat tube, the JULIET geometry generates a shorter standover height (= the distance between ground and top tube) that feels convenient in all situations – such as sudden stops that force female feet to contact the ground as quickly as possible. This is supported by a comparatively lower BB position that also ensures
a low centre of gravity and, therefore, agile handling. This advantageous cycling feeling is furthermore enhanced by the comparatively longer head tube which elevates the JULIET front end and enables a slightly more upright body posture. In connection with the slightly shorter top tube, this results in a less stretched and therefore comfortable seating position – also when the upper part of a woman’s body is comparatively shorter. All those advantages apply to MERIDA JULIET road bikes as well: The latter follow the comfort concept of our “Road Ride” series with an equally elevated front end and extended chain stays for more comfort and cycling safety.
A Just 5 mm for the big difference: Due to the comparatively longer head tube, a JULIET bike’s front end moves upwards. This enables a more relaxed seating position. B The BB position of a JULIET varies by 5 mm as well – the results: More legroom and fast ground contact of the feet.

CROSSWAY The all-purpose bike for sport and every day
The name says it all: CROSSWAY riders cross every way. No matter if gravel road, asphalt or trails through forests and grassland: A CROSSWAY’s greatest strength is its versatility. Frame and configuration are specifically designed to open all ways – including relaxed day trips, athletic training units or city cycling with a reliable twowheeled companion. Thanks to its moderately profiled tires, a CROSSWAY does not only feel comfortable on and off the road, but offers a well-balanced performance as well. The successful compromise between low rolling resistance and traction is supported by the equally torsion-resistant and comfortable aluminium frame whose design language – realized via “Technoforming System” (TFS) – communicates the demand for velocity already at first sight. As soon as it hits the road, this multipurpose bike delights with a comprehensive shifting range: Up to 30 gears go hand in hand with a low overall weight. This “softens” steep ascents and enables also downhill cycling at high speed. The front fork with up to 63 mm suspension travel guarantees comfort plus safety and can be locked completely if required – in case of some CROSSWAY models very comfortably from the handlebar. Depending on configuration, there are either weight-saving calliper brakes or disc brakes that work reliably even under wet conditions. Our CROSSWAY is also great for all kinds of everyday purposes: We have already prepared it for rear-carrier installation and for direct side stand mounting at the rear stay. Except for the top-of-the-line model 3000-D, all CROSSWAYs are also available as lady versions with lower top tube – for more legroom and easier climbs into the saddle.

Cyclo Cross Update with disc brakes
Great! The UCI finally allows the utilization of CX bikes with upto-date disc brakes – also for competition purposes. When the good news from French-speaking Switzerland reached the desks of MERIDA’s R&D experts at the end of 2010, an update of our then recently introduced CYCLO CROSS Carbon was planned at once. The objective was to develop a disc-brake version in addition to the – hitherto – solely “legal” CX model with cantilever brakes. A challenging task: It’s just not enough to equip fork and rear stay with disc brake receivers. Instead, the complete construction must be adapted to the typical single-direction braking forces that are caused by disc systems. So in MY 2012, our CYCLO CROSS Carbon demonstrates its outstanding qualities once again with a completely revised fullcarbon fork and a new rear frame triangle. At the same time, also the CX bikes of the current model year benefit from successfully introduced technologies such as the “Flex Stay” seat and chain stays for maximum comfort even on roughest dirt tracks. The latter are tackled by CYCLO CROSS pilots always at full throttle – thanks to the torsion-resistant “Nano Matrix Carbon” frame. Another characteristic feature of a MERIDA carbon crosser is the cable routing tunnel beneath the top tube. This means that the bike can be shouldered and carried much easier – for that decisive advantage also on foot. As a matter of course, the MERIDA portfolio also includes attractively priced aluminium versions which are a brilliant alternative for road-racing athletes who want to cycle during the dark and, especially, “dirty” season. Depending on model, these aluminium crossers are available with disc or cantilever brakes as well.

Road Race Fast, beautiful and even more comfortable
It came, performed – and struck like a bomb! Right from the start, the MERIDA REACTO (newly introduced in 2011) convinced its pilots as well as the bike press and demonstrated impressively our engineers’ brilliant capacity to combine a modern aero design with all genes of our long-time success SCULTURA. Despite that success, our R&D experts left nothing undone with respect to further improvement of the ultra-light and ultra-stiff REACTO – also with success: There was certain potential left due to the fact that the rear of carbon aero frames is, by nature, slightly less comfortable than comparable models with classic design. Our REACTO’s damping and vibration characteristics could be improved perceptibly via the patent-pending and totally revised 2012 seat post. Because now, the latter has comfort qualities comparable with those of the best slim 27.2 mm versions. Simultaneously, the seat post still matches the aero frame’s design while being completely adjustable and free of any weight limitation. Thanks to approved technologies such as “Double Chamber” (for enhanced torsional and lateral stiffness) or the “Nano Matrix Carbon” composite of premium fibres, our REACTO remains a first-class high-tech racer in 2012, too. There was also further development concerning the integration of electronic shifting systems: Both REACTO and our carbon classic SCULTURA are now available as versions with a Di2 shifting group that has been upgraded on Ultegra level and involves perfectly integrated cables. Our SCULTURA and the aluminium racers enjoy another valuable upgrade: All 2012 models feature light-weight and highly shockabsorbing full-carbon forks with “Double Chamber” technology.

Road Ride For never-ending cycling trips One of the most wonderful road bike experiences is, for sure, the regular look at the speedometer’s display: The miles add continuously and tell the ever-growing story of a beautiful cycling day. But woe to all those who tackle such trips in the style of a Tour de France pro rider with a bike designed for highest speed, but without the typical training level of a world-class athlete. Because: Someone who wants to absolve long cycling distances on the road must be able to master them as well. Thanks to the long-distance concept of our ROAD RIDE series, the fulfilment of this wish is possible for many bike sport enthusiasts. As a matter of course, all MERIDA ROAD RIDE models are nothing else than genuine racing machines – especially at first sight. But a close look reveals technical details which ensure that tours on these racers do not have to end on account of back pain, tense shoulders or aching hands. Because: In contrast to purely propulsionoptimized road bikes, the combination of slightly shorter top tube, longer head tube and, therefore, comparatively higher front end contributes to comfort while the moderately extended wheelbase provides even more running smoothness, control and safety. Together with the flat seat stay profile, the slim seat post and the comfortable 25 mm tires, these features add up to road bikes which are as aggressive as their ROAD RACE equivalents – though with that extra bit of comfort which is insignificant for racers but very important for pleasure cyclists. That’s why all MERIDA ROAD RIDE versions offer up to 30 gears as well – also because steep Alpine passes do not belong only to “mile-eaters”!

Know-how
Geometry Comparison Ride / Race
Especially long bike tours should provide unlimited fun – but without physical problems that might force road-racing fans to get off their bikes. Our RIDE family exactly aims at this comfort factor and features also a third chain ring. Some road racers know the following: The long-expected bike (mostly with totally propulsion-orientated design) is as aggressive as desired. But during longer tours, physical problems increase. It’s just annoying if an aerodynamically reasonable superelevation between saddle and handlebar causes back pain, a tense neck or numb hands. Thus a too “tight” geometry might put a quick end to road racing fun. While maintaining all sportiness that is essential for road racing, MERIDA has created the RIDE “comfort family“ which guarantees that even longest tours do not turn into torture: Due to the extended head tube, these comfort-orientated road models feature a higher front end – but without the necessity to achieve this via unattractive spacer towers that affect, first of all, the steering precision as well. In this way, the pilot
enjoys a considerably more relaxed seating position. The chain stay extension by 5 mm does not only provide perceptibly more comfort at the rear: The therefore longer wheelbase ensures even more running smoothness and tracking stability, too. In addition, all RIDE versions are equipped with a third chain ring – because also beyond the Alps there are ascents that might not always be mastered easily by means of compact or even standard transmission ratios. Together with the 25-millimeter-tires that are typical for our RIDE road bikes, this concept means: Gentle geometric modifications for maximum cycling pleasure!
A The elevated front end of our RIDE road bike family means: A more comfortable seating position for less stress on hands, spine or shoulders – and thus for prolonged cycling pleasure.

Warp
The exclusive force-time formula
Triathletes are certainly not known for being eminently prissy: Extensive training units in three disciplines are necessary to achieve and to maintain the intended performance level. However, there is regular indication of the fact that certain comfort on the bike supports successful accomplishment of long training units and, especially, of long-distance competitions. Besides that comfort, the “Modular Head“ technology of our high-end Triathlon model provides another advantage: A genuine “two-in-one” bike with the option of head tube extension (20 or 40 mm) via different modules. This means: Within a few minutes, an aggressive TT machine with optimum aero position turns into a long-distance bike that disburdens the athlete during 180 km runs and saves precious power for the following Marathon. Already in the lowest adjustment position, our WARP offers outstanding data in terms of BB and head tube stiffness. But these data can be increased once again: The “Modular Head” attachments broaden the supporting width of the bearing shells while even improving the bike’s steering precision in connection with a higher handlebar position – the exact opposite is true for conventional TT and Triathlon bikes. With respect to downhill cycling and fast turns, this results in a steering stability that triathletes might otherwise know only from their road bikes. Of course, all 2012 models are completely UCIcompliant. Therefore they can be used for TT challenges and Triathlon competitions in equal measure. As a model upgrade, all cables of our 2012 TIME WARP versions enter the top tube aerodynamically and attractively behind the stem.

Speeder Accelerate!
Although everyday life is often hectic and could therefore be slower sometimes: With respect to this, a SPEEDER is definitely the wrong choice. Because our SPEEDER is as light-weight, stiff and propulsion-orientated as our road racing machines while it follows the geometry of our successful road model SCULTURA Evo. But: A SPEEDER has a straight handlebar – ideal for all bikers who want to cycle through everyday life equally with their familiar training speed and with full safety in road traffic. Because a “flatbar” does not only enable a more upright position with better overview, but also a faster grip towards the brake levers. In addition, the considerably broader tires allow also rougher SPEEDER rides without potential puncture risk on inferior back roads. A MERIDA premiere within this category is our new 2012 carbon model that can be accelerated even more easily. As a derivative of our CYCLO CROSS Carbon that was introduced successfully in 2011, the SPEEDER Carbon combines that model’s swiftness and robustness with a so far unknown suitability for daily use: Reliable V-brakes, optional fender and carrier installation plus even more rugged aluminium dropouts give carbon that certain “city chic”. Our urban racer program is expanded by the 8-speed model SPEEDER i8 whose gear hub enables quick and precise shifting without permanent thoughts about system maintenance. But for all loyal devotees of comprehensive derailleur systems, the other MERIDA SPEEDER versions offer double or triple chainrings and up to 30 gears.

S-Presso Just urban mobility
“Urban mobility“ – recently, not many other terms are as constantly present in the media as the popular synonym for efficient and sustainable city traffic. The exact meaning? A quick look at a MERIDA S-PRESSO reveals this secret at once: Athletic elegance with a great dose of lifestyle plus reliability and cutting-edge technologies. For all those in favour of contemporary and daily cycling without any electric motor support: Our S-PRESSO is a modern and athletic bike solution with a specific design for urban environments! Because no matter if S-PRESSO i11-D with plain single-speed look and brand-new 11-speed “Shimano Alfine” gear hub for all fans of reduced designs – or as version with comprehensive 27-speed derailleur system: Our MERIDA S-PRESSO literally embodies the archetype of an urban bike. On a first-class level, high-quality “Racelite 6061” aluminium is transformed into a classic frame design with completely smoothed welding seams and hidden shifting cable routing. The side stand with direct mounting at the frame’s rear stay emphasizes the suitability for daily use. The same is for the fenders and their outstanding adaption to our S-PRESSO’s visual appearance. And no matter what the weather: Powerful disc brakes guarantee that all model versions also convince through totally reliable braking performance in every situation. So that’s why our S-PRESSO is virtually ideal for swift rides through the dense jungle of everyday city traffic – be it to office, to sports training or to the shopping mall.

Since its foundation in 2002, our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM has been drawing attention over and over again: Thanks to outstanding athletic performances and strong team spirit, the squad around the three World Champions José Hermida, Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjå and Ralph Naef is equally feared and loved by competitors. Their secret of success is actually no secret, as Team Manager Andreas Rottler reveals, “Besides the fact that we have an equally excellent line-up for Men’s as well as for Women’s XC and Marathon, MULTIVAN MERIDA is first of all characterized by strong continuity.” Year after year, this is demonstrated by our pro biking team at more than 100 races in over 20 countries on all five continents. Since the foundation of the team, the world-class riders have been supported continuously by their two main sponsors MERIDA and Volkswagen. But also the squad remained nearly unchanged: Particularly Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjå and Ralph Naef achieved their big triumphs on MERIDA bikes – in 2004, the Norwegian won Olympic Gold in Athens. Then both became Marathon World Champions in 2006. The record of success is complemented by other World and European Championship titles in XC and Marathon. Over several years, both athletes collected also important World Cup points to turn MULTIVAN MERIDA into the world’s most successful pro biking team. At their side: José A. Hermida (XC World Champion 2010), Jochen Kaess (German Marathon Champion 2010), Andreas Kugler (Swiss Champion 2010), Rudi van Houts (twice Dutch XC Champion) and German marathon specialist Hannes Genze. With this line-up, our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM is optimally prepared to dominate the world’s MTB elite also in 2012.

portrait José Antonio Hermida
From World Class to Legend At the age of 14, MULTIVAN MERIDA pro rider José Antonio Hermida climbs a mountain bike for the first time, today he is a World Champion. Despite of all his success, the Spaniard remains first of all: incredibly likeable. At the age of 14, José Antonio Hermida Ramos (born 08/24/1978) experiences a crucial change in his life. Until then, the Spaniard had already kept himself busy with all kinds of sports activities while his ambition, however, had rarely reached beyond skiing, skateboarding, ice hockey and swimming at school. But in 1992, some friends finally introduced today’s XC World Champion to mountain biking. Debut in pink shorts and ice hockey helmet Driven by the idea to participate in a neighbourhood MTB race together with some of his buddies, José Hermida promises his parents to achieve a good General Certificate of Secondary Education – if they reward him with an MTB. So the deal is sealed: Soon after he has passed all exams, José rides his first bike through the landscape of the sparsely inhabited province Girona near the French border. But this “training” in the Catalan Pyrenees is still far from being organized: “More or less, I just pedalled a little around,” the present-day MULTIVAN MERIDA pro rider remembers. But nevertheless this preparation was sufficient to win at once the first race in Llivia some 5 km away – wearing pink shorts and an ice hockey helmet. His current sponsors would tear their hair.
But not just since he’s been wearing the World Champion’s rainbow colours, José Hermida considers himself as an ambassador of his sports discipline whose image he determines. All the more astonishing that this self-imposed mission still leaves room for private matters. “Nothing in our home is reminiscent of biking – there are only my wife and my two kids.” The MULTIVAN MERIDA pro rider draws a strict line between job and private life while his family attends his World Cup races only seldom. “Although it feels like a hobby: Absolving bike races is my profession. If I went to office every day, my family would also not come to my desk to watch what I do.” But nevertheless, José’s three loved ones are always with him – as shown by the many times our World Champion calls home during his travels around the world. A perception of profession which is typical for José Hermida: Successful and sympathetic.
“That race is still very clear in my mind – but even more my second one which I did not win.” Already very ambitious as a youngster, José Hermida takes the significant decision to improve his riding skills in every and each detail. “Being second did not feel good. Thus I decided to enhance not only my endurance, but also my riding technique. In the end, I lost this race due to a handling mistake. I just wanted to be a better José in the saddle.” So José Hermida worked consistently to overcome his weaknesses – with success: In 1997 he had already won so many races that he had to decide between studying at Barcelona University and a career as a professional athlete. His parents advised him to choose the latter: “Studying is still possible later, becoming a pro rider only now.” The MTB sport must be grateful to them. Ambassador of MTB sport During the next years, the personable Spaniard becomes known as an athlete whose triumphs are not begrudged even by his competitors. And there’s a lot to celebrate: Seven Spanish National Championships, many World Cup wins, three Gold and two Silver Medals at European Championships, Olympic Gold in Athens, Junior and U23 World Champion as well as – at last! –2010 World Champion in the premier class of mountain biking!

Wolfgang Sacher knows that the blink of an eye can decide between weal and woe: He often triumphs at the finishing line only split seconds before his rivals. And only split seconds changed his life virtually at lightning speed in April 1983: While he was playing with his buddies on the grounds of an abandoned freight railway station, Wolfgang Sacher climbed onto a carriage and got into the electric field of a 16.000 V catenary. After many years, he managed to accept the loss of his left arm and of several toes. On this basis, he was then able to start overcoming his psychological injuries as well. During this process, help came from the love of Sacher’s present wife and from a sport that turned a persuaded leisure pedalist into a convinced world-class biker. 15 years after his accident, Wolfgang Sacher got on a bike for the first time to participate in a cycling tour: His brother was able to persuade him to take part in the Pfaffenwinkel Round Trip. Sacher – today known as “one-armed bandit” – instantly absolved 170 km without any problems. This awakened the ambition of the then 31-year-old athlete. Two years later, he absolved his first solo TT event. Subsequently, Sacher improved his performance so well that he – af-
ter many triumphs in the field of non-disabled bikers – was affiliated to the Regional Bike Squad of the Bavarian Disabled Sports Association. And the training bore fruit: After he had nearly despaired of his own fate, Wolfgang Sacher became multiple German National Champion, European Cup winner (twice) and Road World Champion. At the 2008 Paralympic Games, he crowned his career with Bronze and Silver in Track Cycling and a solo TT Gold Medal. The current objective is to defend these successes at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. With MERIDA bikes that are specifically adapted to his handicap, Wolfgang Sacher is on target for the successful achievement of this goal. In June 2011, he scored another commanding win as German Road Champion. Further stages will optimize his performance on the way to precious metal in Great Britain. In between, the likeable world-class biker has even some time left to put his life into words: ”The OneArmed Bandit“ (2011; 240 p.) narrates how Wolfgang Sacher faces his individual fate and how he proves as a sportsman that vitality can be a question of will.
“Move the World” – the motto of Aids activist Joachim Franz. His aim: Carrying the message to five continents within 100 days. further information: www.joachim-franz.com www.waae.de www.beyourownhero-ev.de
All over the world, more than 33 million human beings are infected with the HIV virus. Only during 2009, 1.8 million people died from Aids. Hard facts that hide personal fates. These fates prompted Aids activist Joachim Franz (who became known as extreme athlete before) to carry his message around the world during his struggle against the immunodeficiency. Led by the 51-year old German from Wolfsburg, a convoy of five vehicles hit the road on April 17, 2011 to travel around the world within 100 days. A so far truly unique adventure: A dedicated dozen of women and men crossed all five inhabited continents on a special mission. Their “aids awareness expedition 2011” under the motto “move the world” aimed at encouraging people all over the planet to keep up the struggle against HIV/Aids with all available strength – and to carry on fighting ceaselessly against one of the biggest threats to mankind. In doing so, Franz and his team followed a route that covered the world map like a giant “W”. They drove through North, Central and South America as well as through Europe, Africa and Asia – followed by some flights and sea voyages before Aus-
tralia marked the final full stop behind the virtual “W”. Via this inclusion of all continents, the expedition created a link between rich countries (whose HIV-positive citizens often have a comparatively longer life expectancy thanks to medical care) and poor nations where an HIV infection can be compared with a sentence of death still far too often – due to poverty, lack of infrastructure and deficient education. The objective of “move the world” was, and still is, to reach a widest possible audience: As many people as possible are encouraged to support the struggle against HIV/Aids via their individual help – e. g. by donations. As partner of Joachim Franz, MERIDA has been supporting the dedicated Aids activist and his “aids awareness” expeditions since 2005. And you can help, too: Within the context of the “move the world” tour, an exceptional campaign was launched. The latter reaches beyond monetary donations – in addition, every supporter provides an own article and/or photograph. Thereby she or he starts an individual “move the world” mission.

Every spring, the squad of our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM and the brand-new team bikes are presented in front of countless international journalists. Since many years, this happens on Majorca with the support of Philipp’s Bike Team. For good reason: Already in 1998, company founder Philipp Egli and his staff – pioneers in terms of organized bike holidays – chose the 4-star plus hotel Iberostar „Jardin del Sol“ (Santa Ponsa) as their base to provide bikers with optimum training or recreational conditions in the popular Balearic Island’s far south-west. Besides the Jardin del Sol and its outstanding amenities (e. g. modern suites with high-quality furnishings, adequate meals for athletes), particularly the location gives Santa Ponsa a unique appeal. If tours in the flat south past the island’s capital Palma, trips through the gentle central hills via Calvia or collecting altitude metres on the scenic coastal road MA-10 through the Tramuntana Mountains in the west: The location of Philipp’s Bike Team is always an ideal starting point. The south-west enjoys also better weather than the rest of Majorca. This is attested regularly not only by the Spanish Meteorological Service, but also and especially by
Beat Gfeller: The Sports Director of Philipp’s Bike Team does not only journalize the Majorcan climate on a daily basis, but also his own cycling performance. Since 1998, the 6x-year-old Swiss tour guide has been leading, in particular, fast groups of “mile-eaters” – no surprise, given his now over 1.000.000 road bike kilometres. At an annual cycling performance of 32.000 km, Beat Gfeller has absolved nearly 400.000 km on MERIDA bikes so far. “In 1968, my first bike had a 52/48 crankset and only four sprockets at the rear,” the Sports Director remembers. Today, he guides his groups on a current MERIDA REACTO. About 500 MERIDA rental bikes ensure that all customers of Philipp’s Bike Team are able to choose an exactly suitable model for any kind of tour. This applies equally to swift “mile-eaters” with a preference for carbon frames as well as to “epicures” and “touring cyclists” who pedal on MERIDA trekking, cross or mountain bikes. In any case, all riders are well advised to seek proximity to Beat Gfeller during the evening chat – for sure, nobody has experienced more stories than the Sport Director during his 1.000.000 road bike kilometres.
As a Formula 1 pro pilot, Timo Glock needs a lot of endurance which he gets via his training rounds on MERIDA bikes.
Some teenagers deposit their confirmation money while others get a moped for it. Timo Glock did something different: He bought a go-kart. So since 1997, the now 29-year-old German has preferred to sit in and on everything that is fast. From 1997 to 1999, Glock showed his talent for kart racing. In 2000, he absolved Junior Class races of the Formula BMW and became champion right away. This success, at the latest, made clear for Timo Glock that he wanted to be a pro driver. In the Formula 3, the pilot from the Forest of Odes distinguished himself immediately as best newcomer by achieving Position 3 in overall ranking via three wins. His next step was a success as well: Rank 5 in the then newly founded Formula 3 Euro Series. And then, finally, the big moment… As test driver for Jordan, Glock directly absolved four F1 races during his very first “royal class” season in 2004 and even crowned his premiere in Montreal with two World Championship points. In 2005, he made his mark as “Rookie of the Year” with two podium positions in the American “Champ Car World Series” – in spite of the comparatively small budget of his racing team Rocketsports.
In 2007, Timo Glock’s GP2 Championship title caught the increased attention of several F1 racing teams again. Initially as test driver and then back-up pilot for BMW Sauber, the up-and-coming talent changed “officially” into the royal class of motorsports in 2008: With the Toyota Racing Team, Glock scored – straightaway – a superb success in form of Rank 2 at the GP Hungary. He finished his debut season with 25 points and Rank 10. Also during 2009, the German pro pilot achieved impressive results such as Rank 3 in Malaysia or the fastest lap time at the European GP. When Toyota left the F1 circus at the end of 2009, Timo Glock joined his current team Virgin Racing. Athletic activities are crucial for Timo Glock – they ensure best possible fitness for his pro driver performance. Thus logical: Endurance training via road biking means optimum preparation for long F1 races. With our MERIDA REACTO Team, the likeable F1 pilot enjoys a training tool that matches his character perfectly – respectively the desire to sit always in and on everything that is fast!
