Hardy<br />
Dirt Contest / Entry<br />
In recent years, only few MTB disciplines have seen a<br />
more extended boom than playful dirt-bike riding which<br />
might appear almost ludicrous to outsiders. Increasingly<br />
daring stunts during more and more spectacular runs<br />
capture athletes just as much as visitors with ever growing<br />
fascination. Of course, the material requirements<br />
have grown as well. With the <strong>MERIDA</strong> VELO TEAM<br />
around the exceptionally talented Pavel Alekhin, we are<br />
involved intensively in the dirt-bike scene and put again<br />
exciting bikes on the market for Season <strong>2014</strong>.<br />
With the radical reduction to a sensational weight of 1.9<br />
kg, the HARDY PRO frame has already been upgraded<br />
comprehensively in the previous year. Nevertheless,<br />
our R&D experts aimed at further refinement: The now<br />
integrated chain tensioner provides more space for the<br />
chain; thus it was possible to position both chain stays in<br />
a linear way. Advantage: No more chain jumping despite<br />
the small 9-teeth pinion – and a definitely hotter look!<br />
Another HARDY PRO innovation is the headtube gusset<br />
which enables even more individual bike tuning via the<br />
possible installation of a larger number of different forks.<br />
Our experienced R&D department also had a look at the<br />
chain stays which are 5 mm shorter now to increase<br />
the HARDY PRO’s playfulness once again. Also the beginner<br />
models HARDY 4, 5 and 6 have been updated<br />
perceptibly and visibly: Thanks to the successful utilization<br />
of several tubes from the HARDY PRO, these three<br />
bikes put 300 g less on the scales now while appearing<br />
clearly more sophisticated and even more stylish. Life is<br />
your playground – <strong>MERIDA</strong> HARDY.<br />
