⚡ Overview
The Merida One-Forty 400 delivers the same award-winning trail geometry and suspension performance as its higher-end siblings — now at a price that’s hard to believe.
Built around the same Lite Aluminium frame and FAST kinematic suspension system found on the “Trail Bike of the Year”-winning One-Forty 700, this model brings Merida’s latest trail technology to riders who want maximum capability without the premium price.
With Suntour and RockShox suspension, a wide-range Shimano Deore 11-speed drivetrain, and powerful 4-piston Tektro brakes, the One-Forty 400 is ready to climb, descend, and do it all — without compromise.
As BikeRadar / MBUK put it:
“The One-Forty arguably climbs and descends better than any other trail bike here, while also offering excellent value for your hard-earned.”
Now even better value at £1,735.
