5 TFS – TECHNO FORMING SYSTEM<br />

Thanks to its low weight, aluminium still holds a strong position in frame manufacturing.<br />

Innovative shapes that go beyond just round tubes can be realized by the<br />

mechanical TFS moulding process. Utilized material: Racelite 6061 aluminium.<br />

10 CARBON FORK<br />

Rigid carbon front fork, in case of some models realized as full-carbon version.<br />

MERIDA carbon forks delight with outstanding vibration damping as well as superb<br />

lateral stiffness. Reliable steering and braking performance in every situation.<br />

6 RACELITE 61 ALUMINIUM<br />

A superbly solid and light alloy originally from the aerospace sector. MERIDA<br />

subjects this aluminium to an additional heat treatment. Thanks to double-butted<br />

wall thicknesses, it perfectly lends itself to the production of light and stiff frames.<br />

11 HFS – HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM<br />

The mechanical TFS process works from the outside to the inside. In contrast, the<br />

complex Hydro Forming System shapes the frame by pushing hot oil under hydraulic<br />

high pressure from the inside to the outside. Utilized alloy: Prolite 66 aluminium.<br />

7 SMOOTH WELDING<br />

Besides top functionality, MERIDA frames also offer high visual attractivity. A second<br />

welding process during “Smooth Welding” evens the connecting seams – an<br />

elaborate concept for a brilliant look without compromises to stability.<br />

12 PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINIUM<br />

MERIDA’s premium alloy is an extremely durable and light aluminium of high-end<br />

quality. Triple-butted wall thicknesses result not only in exciting frame designs:<br />

First of all, they offer an optimum Stiffness-to-Weight (STW) ratio.<br />

8 INTERNAL CABLE<br />

Elaborately shaped frame constructions with special inlets/outlets for internally routed<br />

brake and/or shifter cables. “Clean” in a double sense: The bike looks uncluttered<br />

while the cables are protected effectively from moisture and dirt.<br />

13 X-TAPER HEADTUBE<br />

Externally butted headtube with a mighty 1.5” steering bearing at the bottom and a<br />

weight-saving 1 1/8” one at the top; installed together with a matching tapered steerer<br />

fork. Results: Superb stiffness and precise steering performance.<br />

9 POST MOUNT DISC<br />

The modern way of mounting disc brake calipers. Hassle-free alignment and<br />

easy installation made possibly by “posts” at the rear dropout. Adaptable to<br />

different disc sizes thanks to the utilization of differently dimensioned adapters.<br />

14 K-MOUNT DROP-OUT<br />

Specifically designed brake-disc dropout for aluminium frames with integrated<br />

mounting possibility for HEBIE rear kickstands. For optimal torsion stiffness also<br />

during tough braking – a perceptible safety plus!<br />
