OUR TOP-SPORTSMAN: NOT A SINGLE GRAM TOO MUCH AND PERFECTLY TRAINED. EACH FIBRE PURE PERFORMANCE. MADE FOR YOUR AMBITIONS IN SPORT.

Even as a prototype the Ninety-Six had won a world championship silver in Cross-Country on its first outing. The Multivan Merida Biking Team was celebrating and provided our developers important feedback for further improvements.

Matured to serial production level, it eclipses everything else: most light-weight production-fully in the world and best bottom bracket stiffness of all carbon suspension frames on the market. Meanwhile it has won its next world championship medal. Right now, the Ninety-Six is waiting for your challenge.

INTERNAL VALUES
You don’t see the true strengths of the Ninety-Six from the outside. We can explain to you why the Ninety-Six is that powerful. Or even better: You can experience it yourself.

Double Chamber Technology
Reinforcing ribs, running inside the top and down tube, improve the bending stiffness of the tubes enormously. Forces which affect the frame over fork and around the rear-shock are getting optimally absorbed and diverted.

Structural Element Monocoque
For high loads and maximum security: two separately manufactured Monocoque-segments cope with the extensive forces in both the bottom bracket and steering area effectively. An interior lug-connection provides, via a large overlap, a powerful connection of these components in the down tube. Between the less strained seat- and top tube-node we use a tube-to-tube connection, being the lightest bonding technique.

Hi-Tech Material
Our raw materials are the best available and they are processed with the greatest care. Unidirectional prepregs made of HM/UHM/IM-fibres are held by the very latest generation Nano-matrix-resin. Reliably produced by the best carbon professionals in the bike business.

IMPRESSIVE APPEARANCE

Intelligent form
The design of the Ninety-Six acts consistently in accordance with the design-fundamental “Form Follows Function”. For example the bottom bracket area is supported by the full width of down tube. The plane form in the steering head area has the same intention: to share the strengths equally and to avoid unwanted distortions. Functional design is also beautiful at the same time – with clean lines and striking forms.

Maximum Rigidity
The small connecting bridge in-between the seatstays provides a vast improvement of the rigidity of the complete rear-frame.

Minimum Weight
The rocker-link completely made of carbon is not only visually a highlight - it saves precious weight – it is 36 grams less in comparison to a completely minimized aluminium link of equal dimensions.

THE BIKE MAGAZINES ARE DELIGHTED:

„bike“ 05/08: „Better isn’t possible. MERIDA’s “Ninety- Six” possesses extraordinary lab-results, rides sensationally and raises a legitimate claim for the title: best (and most expensive) race full-suspension bike in the world.”
„Mountain Bike“ 06/08: „The Merida Ninety-Six came, saw and drove the elite of race-fullys into the ground. Versatile, strong in sprints, super light. Test winner!”
„Bike Sport News“ 05/08: „I think I’m in love!“
