ONE-FORTY 500 components

Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the Rock Shox Deluxe Select+ rear shock model, which has a travel of 143mm. Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
The ONE-FORTY 500 2024 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The ONE-FORTY 500 comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Dropper post
The Merida model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
