Merida Ninety-Six RC 10 K

The range-topping NINETY-SIX RC 10K leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of performance and nowhere for the competition to hide. Our super lightweight CF5 carbon fibre frame is paired to the very best components to deliver a cross-country race weapon that's so sharp it'll slice the competition like sushi. SRAM's ground breaking wireless Eagle AXS 12-speed drivetrain is matched to Fox Factory level suspension serving up 100 mm of taut yet supple Kashima-coated travel, while carbon fibre Reynolds wheels and fast-rolling Maxxis tyres mean the top step of the podium is just the starting point.

The NINETY-SIX is the new and exciting reincarnation of our former World Cup proven XC and marathon machine. It inherits the forward-surging race genes of the old NINETY-SIX and combines it with a new readiness and ability to tackle today’s demanding XC and marathon courses. The carbon fibre frame platform and P-FLEX suspension is the perfect basis for a fun-packed, fast and trail loving short travel full suspension machine that helps define what a modern cross country race bike should be. It's able to take on the rougher than ever world-class race tracks as well as the trail riders who want hyper-speed climbing with the ability to descent like never before. For those that want a cross-country bike for race duties rather than high-speed trail fun, the RC models deliver a short travel punch with a 100 mm fork in the front, super fast rolling tyres and a lighter front brake.
