Reviews

ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine

The MERIDA ONE-TWENTY remains one of our favourite bikes on flowing trails. It’s handling always motivates you to leave the brakes open and send jumps that are actually far too big for a 120 mm bike. It is a very capable trail bike but, unfortunately,...

Pros
  1. tremendous fun on flowing trails
  2. amazingly capable for so little travel
  3. clean cockpit and sophisticated spec
Cons
  1. seat tube angle too slack
  2. rims are missing tubeless tape and they dented very easily
  3. inconsistent noise of the rear hub is annoying

Seriously lightweightand and dripping in top-drawer XTR components

Pros
  1. Seriously lightweight. Blisteringly quick in all aspects of riding, including being surprisingly capable on descents. Dripping in top-drawer XTR components.
Cons
  1. While undeniably fast-rolling, the Maxxis Rekon Race tyres neuter the bike in more demanding situations. KS dropper lever is awkward to use and a bit glitchy.

BikeRadar

Alex Evans

A conceptually sound bike, but by trying to please two very different styles of riding, by blending XC geometry and trail bike components, Merida has missed the mark

Pros
  1. Supportive and bottomless-feeling rear suspension and the XT drivetrain performed flawlessly
  2. RockShox fork is a known quantity
Cons
  1. Geometry at odds with its spec and it's difficult to ride well when the trails get tricky
  2. it's not as comfortable as it should be on the descents or climbs

Pinkbike

David Arthur

The One-Twenty is a short travel ripper that's surprisingly capable on the descents.

Cons
  1. Reach could be a touch longer
  2. Travel will hold you back before geo and equipment does
  3. The paint job and decals
  4. sorry Merida, I’m not a fan
