IN THE DETAILS

Our new dirt jump and pump track bike won’t break the budget – or break, full stop. Built tough from 6061 aluminium, it’s got 26″ wheels and a singlespeed setup for bombproof reliability. Designed to deliver the most fun for your money, a Manitou Circus 100 mm fork will save your hands when you case it, while tough Alex rims and fast Kenda tyres are ready to rip pump track berms. Chuck in a Shimano hydraulic disc brake and it might be built for big air but it’s a surprisingly versatile fun machine.

DIRT simple, DIRT tough. Whether you’re pushing for progression on dirt jumps, playing on the pumptrack or just want a bombproof hardtail buddy, the new MERIDA DIRT has you covered. Built for big air, pump tracks, tricks and generally giving it some stick, our new play hardtail has been created to take a beating and come back for more, with a tough but simple singlespeed aluminium frame, 26” wheels and components that can take a kicking on the regular. Designed to round out our gravity-bike range, it’s the perfect playtime partner for riders that want to sharpen up their skills or who want to kick off their dirt-riding career with a tough, more stylish option than a regular MTB hardtail.
