MORE FRAME At Merida, we are driven by engineering. Founded in 1972 by Ike Tseng a gifted engineer, the factory and brand has always delivered MORE when it comes to frames. In todays’ world of carbon, Ike’s philosophies live on. For our carbon development we work with partner carbon factories, combining our bike knowledge and their material knowledge to the best effect. Our legendary expertise is not given away for free, we work only with Merida moulds so if you want our performance you can only buy it with our name on it. Not all carbon is the same..
CARBON
knoW How
Not all carbon is the same. Plenty of people sell carbon frames and make very big claims about the make-up of the frame – such as ultra-high modulus etc. Our frames are in the top echelon of what’s possible with carbon fibre, their performance validated by independent testing. The quality of our work shines through in these scientific evaluations and stunning reviews from the press….

Reacto Evo – Pro Cycling May 2014 - Marcel Wüst ‘The Reacto Evo has extremely efficient and direct power transfer, as well as great seat-tube stiffness. The latter is often the primary victim when engineers try to beat the wind. With this bike, though, I felt like I was on a super-stiff bike with traditional round tubes, not the second most aerodynamic road bike in the world…’ Scultura SL Team – Pro Cycling May 2013 - Marcel Wüst ‘It was good to get this reminder on a bike that would be exactly my choice if I were ever to enter into serious competition again…’
Lifetime warranty We have such faith in our carbon frames we offer a lifetime warranty, even for racing. Hidden knowledge There’s plenty of cheap carbon around. Marketing has played a huge part in the public believing that all carbon is the same and introducing implausible descriptions such as ultrahigh modulus frames. Outwardly many carbon frames look the same. The key difference is the materials used in manufacture, enhancing performance and reducing weight. There’s also a huge difference between the costs of various carbon fibres. High performance fibres can cost up to ten times the price of standard fibres. Therefore the mix of fibres used can have a dramatic impact on price. You don’t see cheap carbon frames succeeding in the upper echelon tests we excel in. Using a car analogy - Are a hot hatchback and the family runabout it is based on the same? They look the same, they do the same thing, but obviously they’re not the same. Underneath, the hot hatch has many differences: • larger engine • adapted suspension • more powerful brakes • bigger, higher speed rated tyres • and so the list goes on... Many of those things are hidden, but have a dramatic impact on performance and of course price. The same is true of carbon bikes; the difference is hidden inside. Equally, the balance of all factors must be struck - a hot hatch engine in the basic hatch car will be powerful, but the grip, braking and suspension will mean it will not be able to use the power. The analysis necessary to get the best overall performance is complex. 4

Perfect properties High modulus carbon is credited with being stiff and some brands claim the entire frame is high modulus. Back to our car analogy, being extremely stiff is not a good thing, as the car would feel too harsh to drive. A high performance frame needs a variety of fibres, and the lay-up of those fibres can significantly change the way they behave. In development a lot of emphasis is placed on stiffness to weight ratios. It is easy to make a stiff and heavy frame – just use lots of material, or don’t use much and get a very light and floppy one! The Holy Grail is the lowest weight with the highest relevant stiffness. Relevant is a key word - a chain stay needs massive stiffness and strength to deliver pedalling effort to the rear wheel, with minimal loss of power. A seat stay, however, needs to play its part in reducing vibration, and by creating the right tubing profile and using the correct materials we can make them both perform exactly as we want. Some frames feature bio fibre damping. Flax has incredible vibration damping properties. We take flax which is woven into sheets and incorporate it into the layers of carbon. Again, its use is precisely determined by the properties required, so you will often see it used in seat stays Black Art As with most things in life you get what you pay for. Carbon engineering is complex and constantly evolving, so it is almost impossible to draw comparisons in anything other than scientific testing.

TECHNOLOGIES 1 Nano Matrix Carbon The carbon material is bonded together with an epoxy resin. By adding nano particles to the mix the impact resistance of a carbon frame can be increased by up to 40%
Carbon Fork Carbon forks provide superb vibration damping and precise steering through excellent lateral stiffness.
Bio Fiber Damping Compound Flax has fantastic properties when it comes to vibration damping. So we include layers of woven flax fibres into specific areas of the frame, such as the seat stays.
Internal Cable To keep the clean lines, cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets.
Structure Element Constructed from individually fabricated elements such as combined top tube, head tube and down tube to maximise stiffness and minimise weight.
X-Taper Headtube Tapered head tube with standard 1 1/8” bearings in the top and 1 1/2” in the bottom, combined with a tapered fork to give superb stiffness and therefore precise steering and huge confidence.

2 AWS – Anti Wrinkle System When creating the individual carbon elements we use an inflatable bladder to make sure there are no wrinkles inside the tube which can add weight and create weakness.

3 Flex Stay The rear triangle has profiled seat and chainstays that, in conjunction with the lay up schedule of the carbon material, allow it to flex and absorb vibration.

CARBON SEATPOST The vibration absorbing properties give greater rider comfort and reduce weight.

7 INTERNAL BLOCK Our patent-pending “MERIDA Internal Blocksystem”, protect carbon frames against damage caused by handlebar impacts (e.g. in case of a fall).
4 S-Flex SEATPOST Unique, patent pending, S-Flex carbon seat post. Carbon has vibration absorbing properties but to increase comfort we have a cut out so that our aero seat post acts like a 27.2mm post. An elastomer window completes the aero look.
Existing solutions use external protection and add weight. For ultra-light race bikes, this is undesirable. “MIB” is a fully internal solution, both light and inconspicuous. The system works with a clamping ring around the fork’s steerer tube. Once in position, it works together with blocking inserts to make sure the handlebar only turns up to a certain degree and stops before it hits the frame. 5 F-Flex FORKS On our highest performance Ride Carbon model we use a specially profiled fork leg to significantly improve flexibility and the ability to absorb bumps in the road.
Flip Flop Head An aero bike has to deliver the best possible aerodynamics. But superb wind-tunnel data is useless if the rider can‘t position himself optimally thereby producing unnecessary air resistance. The “Flip Flop” head allows seat angles to be optimised.
Naca Fastback Profile The tubing profile is defined by the National Advisory committee for Aeronautics and is then truncated - the air moves around the tube as though the removed part was still there but allows us to save weight by using less material.
Integrated clamp Designing high performance WorldTour bikes is similar to the work of a Formula 1 team, each apparently nondescript detail can result in saving split seconds. This integrated seat-post clamping minimises turbulence at the top tube thereby saving important power reserves. 6 Double Chamber Technology Used in our carbon road forks. A central reinforcing rib gives lateral stiffness for precise steering but flex for comfort.

CARBON DROPOUT All our frames are full carbon. If you are going to the trouble of creating a carbon frame, why not create carbon dropouts as well rather than use heavier off the shelf metal metal dropouts?
Modular Head Via the special inserts of Merida’s in-house “Modular Head” system, the WARP TT’s effective headtube length can be extended. Therefore every rider is able to find an optimal position>
6 LIFETIME GUARANTEE Just what you need when looking for a reliable partner. Weight limit 120kg and no restriction on racing. We race, why wouldn’t you be allowed to!

MERIDA frames 2015 This frame has to be the lightest possible, with great degrees of comfort and drivetrain stiffness. The tubing profile is defined by the National Advisory committee for Aeronautics, and is then truncated - the air moves around the tube as though the removed part was still there, but allows us to save weight by using less material. Flax has fantastic properties when it comes to vibration damping. So we include layers of woven flax fibres into specific areas of the frame, such as the seat stays. All Reacto frames have a full carbon fork, that is steerer and blades, saving weight, reducing road vibration and due to its tapered steerer improving steering precision. The Team bike has the same cost no object approach to material lay up providing a fork weighing just 390g with uncut steerer. The fork has a central reinforcing rib giving lateral stiffness for precise steering but flex for comfort. The unique S-Flex carbon seat post has great vibration absorbing properties, but to increase comfort we cut out a section so it acts like a carbon 27.2mm post. The elastomer window completes the aero look. Every part of the frame is carbon down to the dropouts, when weight is all important why use anything else? The integrated seat-post clamping minimizes turbulences at the top tube and thereby saves important power reserves. ‘Why you want one: Wind-cheating design makes the Reacto Evo about as close to a TT bike as a road bike can get.’
Cyclist on the Reacto Team Evo in Summer 2014
Example frame weight 905g as a raw 54cm frame.
The no expense spared, Lampre-Merida team bike. The lay-up schedule includes the highest quality fibres appropriate for their individual purpose. So that means we don’t claim Ultra High Modulus frame, as there will be a huge a variety of fibres used. That isn’t a bad thing - carbon engineering is about knowing the vastly varied stress points of a frame, which fibres to use and in which direction they should be aligned Stiff fibres (high modulus) are needed to create stiff areas such as around the bottom bracket, and lower modulus fibres are needed for comfort, for example in the seat stays.

MERIDA frames 2015 Inflatable bladders are used inside the moulds to make sure the inside of the tube does not have excess material (anti wrinkle system). The carbon material is bonded together with an epoxy resin, by adding nano particles to the mix the impact resistance of a carbon frame can be increased by up to 40%. The frame incorporates a tapered head tube to provide even greater stiffness to keep the wheels tracking straight and true. All Reacto bikes have a full carbon fork, that is steerer and blades, saving weight, reducing road vibration and due to its tapered steerer improving steering precision.

This integrated seat-post clamping minimizes turbulences at the top tube and thereby saves important power reserves. An aero bike has to deliver the best possible aerodynamics. But superb windtunnel data is useless if the rider can‘t position themself properly thereby producing unnecessary air resistance. The “Flip Flop” head allows seat angles to be modified, from comfortable aero bike through to triathlon ready bike. ‘Stiff, aerodynamic, and surprisingly comfortable, it climbs well, responds instantly to big gear acceleration and descends like a rocket.’
Bikes Etc on the Reacto Dura Ace in Jan. 2015
The frame features direct mount brakes, the rear being concealed under the bottom bracket.
Giving away less than 275g compared to the Team level frame, the Pro frame uses all the same wind tunnel learnings, but with a more cost conscious approach to the lay-up schedule. We construct our frames in a technique we call “structural element monocoque”. In the old days of steel, a tube was welded into place between the head tube and BB. Now, we create a series of units that are un-recognisible as tubes – for example the top tube, head tube and down tube will be one piece to maintain stiffness. Flax has fantastic properties when it comes to vibration damping. So we include layers of woven flax fibres into specific areas of the frame, such as the seat stays. www.MERIDA.com

MERIDA frames 2015 Tour Magazine tested the 2013 Scultura team level frame, it recorded the 2nd highest stiffness to weight ratios of the carbon superlight frames. The only frame to beat it had a retail price 3 x higher! But, stiffness does not have to affect comfort, the rear triangle has profiled seat and chain stays that in conjunction with the lay-up schedule of the carbon material allow it to flex and absorb road vibration. Neither is it a weakling, we use all of the carbon know how of the anti-wrinkle system, structural element construction and nano matrix resins to create a frame we can happily provide a lifetime warranty on.
The superlight conventional geometry frame, perfect for climbing. The 9000 represents the Team level, the money no object approach to material selection and lay-up schedule, in addition is also uses 10mm shorter chainstays than the 7000, delivering lightning fast reactions, picking up speed and changing direction in an instant. The handling is also influenced by the use of a tapered headtube and steerer delivering superb front end stiffness. The carbon fork also has dual chamber technology, an internal reinforcing rib that provides flex in the direction required for comfort, but stiffness and precision for steering.

Internal cable routing to keep everything looking sleek and avoid unnecessary drag. And of course the confidence of the lifetime warranty.
The frame tips the scales at just 1,100g for a 54cm, with a full carbon tapered fork that weighs in at just 395g with the full uncut steerer. Constructed from individual elements such as combined top tube, head tube and down tube we use inflatable bladders to make sure there are no wrinkles inside the tubes which can add unnecessary weight and create weaknesses, the combination of these two techniques maximises stiffness and minimises weight. The carbon material is bonded together with an epoxy resin, by adding nano particles to the mix the impact resistance of a carbon frame can be increased by up to 40%
The Lampre Merida team may have decided that Reacto was the future, but interestingly Chris Horner at the 2014 Tour De France Grand Depart was on a Scultura. Taking a slightly modified geometry to the team bike with 10mm longer chain stays it uses a material lay- up schedule that is price focussed meaning a high performance package at a fantastic price. Despite the fantastic price, you still get all of the high end features: • Tapered head tube – delivering front end stiffness and confidence inspiring handling.
•
Full carbon tapered fork with central reinforcing rib to give precise handling with great vibration absorption.

MERIDA frames 2015 Layers of woven flax fibres are incorporated into specific areas of the frame, such as the seat stays to enhance the vibration absorbing properties of the carbon. The tapered headtube and fork offers great front end stiffness and therefore precise and confidence inspiring handling. The full carbon tapered fork has two cut outs towards the axle which allows the fork to flex and absorb even more vibration. Example weights 1,068g for a 56cm in raw finish, 372g for an uncut fork
The ultimate comfort option in our carbon Ride range. The Lampre Merida team use the Ride Carbon Team on the cobble stones of Paris Roubaix (The hell of the North). A bike that can be raced on that terrain must be incredibly strong, but also keep the rider in good shape by being very forgiving. In addition to the structural element construction technique which avoids joining the frame in high stress areas, we add nano particles to the epoxy resin that bonds the carbon material increasing the impact resistance by up to 40%. We profile the seat and chainstays to act like leaf springs to absorb vibration from the rear end whilst simultaneously being stiff to maximise your power transfer. www.MERIDA.com

MERIDA frames 2015 The full carbon tapered fork has a central reinforcing rib giving lateral stiffness for precise steering but flex for vibration damping. Approximate weight 395g with a 300mm steerer. The cables are all routed inside the frame to keep the visual appearance sleek and avoid any unnecessary areas of drag.
The key difference between the Ride 7000 frame and the Ride 4000 is the use of flax biofibres and the slightly lighter vibration damping fork on the 7000. The Ride design concept delivered comfort in many ways, the low junction of the seat stays into the seat tube delivered desirable flex and combined with the vibration absorbing properties of carbon and the use of a carbon 27.2mm seat post amplified this even more. Ride frames are designed for slightly wider 25c tyres to offer a greater air volume for cushioning. Seat and chain stays are profiled to be wide and flat to keep stiffness for power transfer but allow the back wheel to absorb vibration like a leaf spring. The tapered head tube offers great front end stiffness and therefore precise and confidence inspiring handling. www.MERIDA.com

MERIDA frames 2015 The “Flip Flop” head allows seat angles to be modified too. The cables are all routed inside the frame to avoid any unnecessary areas of drag. To keep your carbon pride and joy safe, we have an integrated bumper in the head tube to prevent the bars turning and damaging the frame.
The time trail machine of the Lampre-Merida team. No expense spared in any area of development, from wind tunnel testing to material lay-up schedules there was no compromise. Developing a bike is one thing, but wind tunnel testing of the varied styles and sizes of the Lampre-Merida team demonstrated the need to massively tune the bike to suit them. Patent pending “Modular Head” system allows the WARP TT’s effective headtube length to be extended, combined with an incredible range of adjustment of all elements of the main bar, aero extensions and pads every rider is able to find the optimal position.
