Merida Bike Carbon FLX

5 European Championship titles, 15 Worldcup victories and 5 World Championship titles are an impressive record.
It shows that it is not only weight that is a determining factor, but the perfectly realised composition of weight, stiffness and comfort.
The CARBON FLX was a winner right from the beginning. Every year it improved further, and every year new victories came along.

The German design studio i-PDD, with whom the design of the CARBON FLX frame was worked out together, is prize-winning as well. With the current generation of the CARBON FLX, not only was the design optimised, but also the weight becomes lower and the rigidity is improved at the same time.
New in 2009: the „surface bonding“ bottom bracket shell and unidirectional top-layer laminate help to decrease the frame’s weight to 1100 grams on a frame-size of 46 cm / 18".

The tapered shape of the seat- and chains stay in combination with their special fibre-mix provides surprising comfort at high-frequency vibrations - and this is measurable, finishing second in the comfort evaluation in a test of the best Carbon-Hardtails („bike“ 12/07)
