Merida Ninety-Six XT Mountain Bike in Silk Grey/Purple

Season:2026

Brand:Merida

Code:P-R062

There used to be a time when you had to choose between trail bike performance and cross-country race ready weight. Not any more. Say hello to the NINETY-SIX XT. It builds on the speedy genes of Merida's short travel race winner with a CF4 carbon frame and adds a whole new layer of capability thanks to a longer travel 120 mm Fox 34 SL Performance fork paired to 100 mm out back. Add in fast rolling tyres, a long travel dropper post and a super smooth Shimano XT Di2 wireless drivetrain and brakes and you're ready to rock.

The NINETY-SIX is the latest incarnation of their 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 descend like never before.

Features:

  • Lightweight CF4 carbon frame with 100 mm travel and P-FLEX technology
  • Modern aggressive geometry with dropper seatpost
  • 120 mm travel Fox 34 SL fork for increased capability
  • Fast rolling Maxxis Rekon tyres on tubeless ready wheels
