Merida 0.Nine - 930g frame!

supersonic

Probably costs a bomb, but 120kg rider limit, 5 year warranty and that weight looks like Hts have taken another step forward:

Having seen what happens to light carbon XC hardtails on our trials.... No thank you! (Lapierre, Sonic knows which one!)

It's like the "FLX" but with "Flex-Stays", there seems to be a running there here. I hope the flex is all in the right direction, flexy frame with flexy wheels is no fun :?

Wonder if these are demo-able anywhere

What happened to a carbon hardtail on your trails btw Ratty? I've been forcing myself out on mine lots recently to get better out of the saddle, really getting into it, faster than my Meta at last. The only thing I'm scared of breaking now is the wheels (with good reason though to my credit).

If I start saving right now, I should be able to afford one around 2076 sometime. September I think, the 15th

For saying it's only a few grams lighter than my scale frame it looks a heck of a lot weedier.

Coming to a trail centre near you, ridden by a mobile trailblocker probably

With a 120kg weight limit and its warrenteed for racing? If anything it's stronger than a scale. That and it looks about 6000 times better.

Awesome, like i said, it looks weedier, i've no doubt it is stronger as technology has moved on since the scale's conception. Hmmmmm, i'll hang my head in shame now that i know my bike is 6000 times worse looking than the 0.nine. Remind me to give a crap when i'm out racing, with race warranty too......
