Founded in 1972 in Taiwan, Merida Group is the second largest bicycle manufacturer in China. Merida has a first-class bicycle production line, using TPS production management system, outstanding quality, and cost-effective products.
In the early years, Merida's main focus was on mountain bikes, with top mountain teams, and after 2012, it began the dual-spindle strategy of road bikes and mountain bikes, and set up a research and development center in Germany to specialize in the research and development of high-end bicycles. In 2013, he began to title sponsor the world's first-class World Tour team "Rampo Merida Racing", with world champion Rui Costa. The Merida team performed well in the Giro d'Italia and won three consecutive victories in the Giro d'Italia. In 2016, Merida's sponsored team became "Bahrain Merida Team", starting a new journey.
Bahrain Merida Racing Team competes on the World Tour with the lightweight climbing SCULTURA, the flat-road wind-breaking Reacto and the WARP TT for time trials.
Merida is often called a "heavy tank" in the mouth of car enthusiasts, one is to praise its sturdy and durable, and the other is to complain that its weight is often larger than its peers. Now Merida has come up with a new generation of Scturtura series to justify itself, its frame uses Merida's patented nano-carbon fiber, the carbon fiber process contains special nano-particle epoxy resin, Merida claims that its impact resistance can be increased by 40%, it seems to be ready to go to the end on the road to durability. In 2016, the Scultura Superlight Ltd, with a vehicle weight of 4.52 kg, was unveiled, winning the title of the lightest mass-produced road car in one fell swoop, which made people impressed by Merida's technical strength.
When it comes to Merida vehicles, we must mention the Reacto Ryktor, which can win a ticket just by its appearance. This pneumatic chariot has undergone a facelift in 2017, using the aerodynamic technology from the time trial model WARP TT, and making extensive use of the Kamm Tail (virtual tail) tube, which is claimed to be a 5% improvement in aerodynamic performance compared to the previous generation. The seatpost features S-Flex technology; The flagship frame has dropped sharply from 1250g to 1010g, but the rigidity has increased instead of falling.
Scultura, Reacto have many versions, covering the price range of thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, cost-effective, the three-digit version is an aluminum alloy frame, and the four-digit version is a carbon fiber frame, the larger the number, the higher the grade. In addition, there are entry-level series such as Phantom and Spid that are more than one or two thousand yuan, and Merida has a large number of specialty stores, which are relatively convenient to maintain. Many models may not be available in online stores, you can check the information on the official website, and then go to the offline store to find the store owner to order.
