great review, been thinking about this bike as my local shop is a Merida dealer and they've been sowing the seed. but this review is top at pushing me into an order :)
Thanks for this review I like how u compare it to other bikes! Merida one sixty is the Toyota hilux of bikes 🛻. I like how it’s a usable enduro bike and size up advice is so good for growing teen riders! What crank length are they? I hate long cranks 😂 Ps your front mudguard is impressive ❤
Great review, im torn between the one forty and the one sixty. If you had to pick one, which would it be? Im keen to get into gnarley trails and some trips to the bike park, but still have to pedal around with the family.
Thanks chief, OneSixty all day I reckon. They pedal equally well and there’s very little difference in weight. That extra travel at the bike park will mean you can pedal round with the family fine rather than limping round because you crashed too 🤣
Im looking at a merida 160 but i also want a bike i can ride on not so steep trails and is still relatively playful and maneuverable at lower speeds, do you think this bike would tick the boxes?
@@GuyKesTV I race enduro so i eould benefit from the extra travel of the 160, But i have a tight budget and will only be able to afford one bike. (I was just wondering if the 160 would still be an ok daily which is responsive and agile at slower speeds ASWELL as higher speeds.)
@@ThangHua-i5j ah sorry man, I get you now. Yeah the 160 still pedals great for more trail stuff and that steep seat angle keeps it really agile for that much travel too so it’ll work great for race and play days
@@ThangHua-i5j the other option would be Stumpjumper Evo where you have a lot of very easy and quick to do geometry changes for different rides. Some great deals on that ATMO too

In that case I might look at the Merida 140 instead. It's a little bit lighter and more manoeuvrable than the 160 so more fun on more trails
