One-Forty 400 2026

The One-Forty 400 brings an unheard of level of climbing and descending performance into a high-value package built around Merida's test and award-winning aluminium frame. It's got exactly the same ground-breaking geometry as its more expensive brethren, just paired with kit that delivers the performance you need, without the price tag. Dropper posts on all models, a wide-range 11-speed Shimano drivetrain and no-nonsense suspension from Marzocchi get the job done without fuss.

Key features - 

• Full aluminium frame with FAST kinematic suspension and AGILOMETER sizing
• Radical trail geometry with full 29er wheels
• Marzocchi suspension, 150 mm front, 143 mm rear
• Durable, wide-range Shimano CUES 11-speed drivetrain
• 230 mm dropper post on XLong, 200 mm on Long, 170 mm on Mid and 150 mm on Short and XShort
• Powerful 4-piston SRAM DB4 hydraulic disc brakes

Merida Sizing - 

• X-Short: 145cm - 165cm
• Short: 155cm - 175cm
• Mid: 165cm - 185cm
• Long: 175cm - 195cm
• X-Long: 185cm+

Merida's latest range of mountain bikes makes use of a slightly new approach to sizing. Merida encourage riders to consider their riding style when selecting a frame size. 

For example the Mid size frame is suitable for riders of heights between 165-185cm. This means a rider of height 175cm could select a Short frame if the preference is agility, Mid for a balanced ride or Long for stability.
