In the individual test, Merida's top model was immediately convincing (BIKE 10/11->), the "super" judgement is also confirmed in comparison to the competition. Just behind Scott on points, the bike confirms that the development of a race full-suspension bike absolutely requires a racing team that is involved in the development. The suspension can be locked from the handlebars, the equipment is exquisite and chosen with a view to winning (or in line with the team sponsors). The Ninety.Nine is a super fast, agile and manoeuvrable sports bike. It whizzes round corners like no other, but needs an expert hand on the handlebars in technical terrain. It's not a cruiser like the GT, as the riding position makes clear. That's the price you have to pay (apart from the 7699 euros). For marathons, you should take the edge off the bike (cockpit, tyres).
ConclusionThe new Ninety.Nine is one of the few fullys that is also capable of winning in the World Cup.
