Merida One-Sixty FR 400 Enduro Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2027

Merida One-Sixty FR 400 2027 – Enduro Full Suspension Mountain Bike
Take on demanding trails, bike parks and technical descents with the Merida One-Sixty FR 400 2027, a hard-hitting full suspension enduro mountain bike designed for riders who want maximum control, durability and confidence when the trail gets rough.

Built around Merida's tough Lite III aluminium frame and progressive enduro geometry, the One-Sixty FR 400 is designed for aggressive off-road riding. Its long-travel suspension, mixed-wheel setup and robust components make it an excellent choice for enduro riding, bike parks, technical trails and challenging descents.

DVO 180mm Suspension
The DVO Onyx 38 Core air fork delivers 180mm of front suspension travel, helping the One-Sixty FR 400 absorb big impacts and maintain control over rough and technical terrain. At the rear, the DVO Jade X Core coil shock provides a supple, controlled suspension feel and is supplied with a size-specific spring rate.

With its long-travel suspension platform, the One-Sixty FR 400 is designed to keep the wheels tracking the trail while giving riders confidence when riding steep and demanding terrain.

Mullet 29/27.5in Wheel Setup
The 2027 One-Sixty FR 400 comes equipped with a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel, creating a versatile mullet setup. The larger front wheel helps roll over obstacles while the smaller rear wheel keeps the bike manoeuvrable and playful.

Merida's flip-chip system also allows the bike to be converted to a full 29er configuration without compromising its geometry, giving riders additional setup flexibility.

Strong Aluminium Enduro Frame
The Lite III aluminium frame features Merida's next-generation enduro geometry, internal cable routing, Boost axles, a threaded bottom bracket and a long seatpost insertion depth. The frame is rated to Category 5, making it suitable for demanding gravity-oriented riding within the manufacturer's intended use.

Merida's Agilometer sizing concept allows riders to select a frame size based on their preferred reach and riding characteristics rather than relying solely on height.

SRAM DB4 Four-Piston Hydraulic Brakes
Powerful SRAM DB4 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide dependable braking control when tackling steep descents, technical sections and fast trail riding. Large 203mm front and 200mm rear rotors complement the bike's gravity-focused specification.

Continental Kryptotal Enduro Tyres
The One-Sixty FR 400 uses Continental Kryptotal tyres with soft compounds and Enduro casings. The 29 x 2.4-inch front tyre and 27.5 x 2.4-inch rear tyre are designed to provide grip and control across demanding trail surfaces.

The Merida Comp TR II wheelset is tubeless-ready, providing the option for a tubeless setup when correctly configured.

Shimano CUES 10-Speed Drivetrain
A Shimano CUES U6000 10-speed drivetrain provides a practical and durable gearing setup for climbing back to the top of the trail. The 11-48T cassette offers a broad range of gears, while the Merida Expert TR II 32-tooth chainset keeps the drivetrain focused on demanding off-road riding.

Long-Travel Dropper Post
The Merida Expert TR II dropper post is available with size-specific travel from 150mm to 230mm, depending on frame size. The additional saddle clearance helps riders move their body position freely on steep descents and technical terrain.
