5 LOCKOUT / REMOTE LOCKOUT<br />

The suspension fork and/or the shock unit in<br />

the rear of your MERIDA bike can be locked<br />

– either by direct controls or via a “remote<br />

MTB models ONE-FORTY, ONE-SIXTY and<br />

control” at the handlebar. Lockout mode is<br />

ONE-EIGHTY. This concept ensures that<br />

ideally suited for rides on smooth surfaces<br />

all bikes of the 145, 160 and 180 mm travel<br />

or powerful sprints/attacks – not only during<br />

category combine outstanding bump sensi-<br />

steep uphills. When things get rougher again,<br />

tivity with convincing drivetrain and braking<br />

the suspension can be switched on and off in<br />

neutrality in every imaginable situation.<br />

a completely intuitive way via remote.<br />

3 C-S POST MOUNT DISC<br />

7 GUIDED REMOTE<br />

“Chain Stay Post Mount Disc” – this tech-<br />

Good guidance: the “Guided Remote”<br />

nology is the result of three findings. First,<br />

technology ensures that the cable of the<br />

a brake mount positioned within the frame<br />

remote-lockout is perfectly routed towards<br />

triangle optimally protects the brake from<br />

the rear shock – not only visually clean, but<br />

external influences. Second, the caliper is<br />

also technologically. Used for example in the<br />

supported by the chain stay and is therefo-<br />

new ONE-TWENTY, this concept guarantees<br />

re able to distribute the occurring physical<br />

that unwanted cable movement is restricted.<br />

forces in an ideal way. Third, internally<br />

Advantage: optimal function of the remote<br />

routed cables can reach the brake neatly<br />

control in every situation. The housing also<br />

from the chain stay.<br />

does not scratch the frame.<br />

Thru-axles at the front and/or rear wheel<br />

Rear suspension often causes problems with<br />

the rear shifting cable (e.g. formation of loops,<br />

torsional stiffness, they especially ensure<br />

abrasion/friction, undesired shifting) which are<br />

easy wheel installation and also guarantee<br />

caused by movement during compression.<br />

an always correct position of the brake rotor.<br />

Because in contrast to quick-release solu-<br />
