Merida SPEEDER 100

Merida SPEEDER 100

Our entry model into our SPEEDER range, the SPEEDER 100 brings the same high-quality aluminium frame and full carbon fork to the table as its more high-end family members, but combines it with high-value components. Powerful disc brakes enable perfect speed control, while the broad gear range of the double chain ring drivetrain makes climbing a breeze and keeps top speeds high. Multiple fixing points allow bottle cages, fenders, kickstand and a rear rack to be fitted.

Fast and lightweight, the SPEEDER shares its genes with our road bike range. The geometry offers an extended reach for added stability while providing a more upright and comfortable riding position. The sporty yet comfort inspired geometry paired with control enhancing flat handlebars and powerful disc brakes make the SPEEDER ideal for fast commuting or fitness rides. Wider tyres and more tyre clearance underline the comfort element even further and give the SPEEDER more grip when it counts.

• Lightweight aluminium frame with full carbon fork
• Sporty yet comfortable geometry and seating position
• Powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes
• Shimano double chain ring drivetrain
• Flat handlebar setup
• Multiple fixing points for fenders and a rear rack

• PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINUM - When creating high-end aluminium frames, we use our proven PROLITE 66 (6066) aluminium, as it is incredibly light and durable. In addition, it works exceptionally well with our hydroforming technology, allowing us to create complex shapes, featuring triple butted wall thicknesses, an almost carbon-like appearance and the best possible stiffness-to-weight ratio. While lesser alloys might be cheaper, it is the ideal choice for high-performance bicycle frames.
• HFS - HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM - ‘C-Mount’ equipped bikes have the fixing points for a rear rack already integrated (some bikes require model specific rear rack), making fitting fast, simple and reliable. 
• X-TAPER HEADTUBE - Steering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows us to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering.
• SMOOTH WELDING - This is a process we use to give a nice flat finish to our welds instead of the scaled, 'stack of coins' effect TIG welded joints often have. The welder uses the welding torch to go over the joint twice, helping to smooth out the filler material. It takes a lot of skill to do this, but it delivers strong and smart-looking frames that have the appearance of a carbon fibre frame at first look.
• F-MOUNT - Being able to turn your bike into an all-weather commuter that has mudguards and other fittings can be a real plus, in particular when riding on wet and perhaps muddy roads and tracks on a regular basis. To make fitting easy, some of our bikes are F-MOUNT equipped. These integrated fittings mounts make adding mudguards fast and simple. Please note that some bikes require model-specific mudguards.
• K-MOUNT - When using your bike in an urban environment, where you might not always have the option to use a specific bike stand, a kickstand is an ideal solution to park your bike safely. Some of our bikes come with a neatly integrated K-MOUNT, which makes fitting a MERIDA kickstand (or any commercial kickstand) easy. And if you don’t want to have a kickstand and prefer the clean appearance of your frame, the K-MOUNT is neatly tucked away underneath your chainstay, difficult to spot if you don’t know it is there.
• C-MOUNT - Similar to our F-MOUNT, where various fixing points for mudguards are part of the frame offering, the C-MOUNT equipped bikes have the fixing points for a rear rack already integrated, making fitting fast, simple and reliable. The C-MOUNTS are an additional feature that improves the day-to-day versatility by adding loading capacity to your bike, ideal for commuting and shopping trips. Please note that some bikes require model-specific rear racks.
