Why did we pick Merida? We wanted a big brand, and Merida are one of the biggest bike manufacturers in the world.​
​
Merida offer one of the most comprehensive ranges of any manufacturer. Whatever the type of bike you want, Merida can offer it to you. Unlike many other brands, they also make all of their own bikes in their factory in Taiwan.
About Merida
Founded in 1972, Merida started life as an OEM manufacturer making bikes for other brands. This changed in 1988, with the launch of their own "Merida" brand. Since then, they've gone from strength to strength. The R&D is now done in Germany, and they've been ever present in the world tour since 2013 with Team Bahrain Victorious.
