Merida's Trans Mission makes a mature, mature impression even for a small price (lowest price in the field). It has good geometry, a balanced riding position and safe handling. The well-chosen and, considering the price, high-quality equipment is complemented by an independent frame design with powerful hydroforming tubes. The suspension with Manitou fork (without drop) and X-Fusion shock surprises with good function, the adjustment range is easy to understand and use. We would like it even better with wider (higher quality) tyres, especially downhill.
CONCLUSIONMerida offers a serious, all-round recommendable all-mountain bike for 1449 euros.
TUNING TIP: fit wider tyres.
