Merida : The Carbon Technology

THE NEW MERIDA CARBON FRAME IS FASCINATING, IT SEEMS TO CONSIST OF LIGHTNESS AND CARBON.

Rain, wind, strength sapping cold and extremely deep mud: welcome to the legendary car racing track of Spa Francorchamps in the middle of the Ardenne. At the World Cup race on the 21st June 2006, Jose could only be caught by Olympic Champion Absolon, for Jose this was the biggest encouragement to over the finish line at the next event in 1st position. Indispensable in this undertaking will be the newest super-lightweight Merida carbon frame. Super strong yet comfortable, this frame is made for athletes who feel at home at the limit.

The Nano-Matrix
The profile and cross section of our FLEX-STAY seat and chain stays follow the idea of a flat spring.

Thanks to the combination of horizontally shaped cross-sections in the middle of the rear-stays and the use of SPECTRA and VECTRAN fibre-material, the rear-frame is able to bend up and down, allowing it to absorb vertical forces much more easily. As a result, the rear wheel of MERIDA-frames featuring FLEX-STAYS are more stable and predictable in their handling than any conventional frame.

High modulus fibre material
In 2007 all the top Merida carbon models use high modulus carbon-fibre material made by the Japanese supplier Toho, having 20% higher strength than regular carbon-material used for bicycle frames.

The high modulus weaves are the absolute ultimate in carbon sports-goods and improve BB stiffness reducing energy wasting flex as well as improving torsional stiffness, whilst reducing frame weight at the same time.
