Fast, focussed and ready to race or ride all day, the Ninety-Six RC 5000 melds Merida’s proven cross-country racing DNA with modern geometry to provide a cross-country bike that can handle anything a modern racecourse or epic ride can throw at it with ease. The full carbon CF4 frame is exactly the same as seen on some of the more expensive bikes in the range, but high-value, hardwearing kit delivers poised performance at an accessible cost. The Ninety-Six RC 5000 is able to take on the rougher than ever world-class racetracks as well as the trail riders who want hyper-speed climbing with the ability to descend like never before, all at an attainable price. It truly punches above its weight.
