Merida ONE-TWENTY 600

Owen Botha — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 14:39:11 +0000

The all-rounder is back. The ONE-TWENTY 600 is the short travel trail bike that’s ready to ride to whatever you want it to. It’ll breeze down tough descents thanks to our progressive geometry and 130 mm of well-controlled travel thanks to a Marzocchi fork and shock, but it’ll still eat hills and fast singletrack for breakfast. Add in the crisp shifting of a 12-speed Shimano drivetrain plus powerful 4-piston front and 2-piston rear brakes, and it’s ready to take on anything.

The ONE-TWENTY is a bike that doesn’t need to be shoehorned into a category. Short travel trail, downcountry – call it whatever you want, but this is a fun mountain bike for doing fun mountain bike things. Light enough to climb all day but planted on the descents – and the perfect balance everywhere else. Whether you’re into flowing singletrack sessions or big mileage in the mountains, the ONE-TWENTY is our do-it-all Swiss Army Knife of a bike. Our high-value, high-quality LITE aluminium frame is paired with our proven P-FLEX flexstay suspension design, keeping maintenance needs low, but performance high. We’ve also used our progressive geometry concept but tweaked it to suit a fun, short-travel machine and, thanks to the AGILOMETER sizing concept from our award-winning ONE-SIXTY and ONE-FORTY range, you can pick stable or agile handling independently of bike fit. The hardest part will be getting the smile off your face.

ABUS Cliffhanger (Concrete...

Owen Botha — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 09:09:32 +0000

The CliffHanger is the flagship trail model in the ABUS MTB series. When you’re riding up and down steep hills on an enduro bike, the MTB helmet offers reliable protection.

Lighter, better ventilated and with an adjustable TriVider webbing spreader – the CliffHanger scores with these features. The special MTB adjustment system also ensures that the helmet sits comfortably and firmly on the head when rattling through the wildest of rock gardens. The inner shell made of EPS hard foam is foamed into a three-part outer shell, making a lightweight and sturdy helmet. ActiCage is additional reinforcement for the helmet structure that also creates space for large vents. With the CliffHanger, we have succeeded in developing a helmet that offers virtually perfect conditions for high speeds and demanding trails.

Sizes Available

Medium: 54 – 58cm

Large: 57 – 61cm

ABUS WingBack Helmet...

Owen Botha — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 08:35:52 +0000

The WingBack from our road helmet family has a minimalist design – and yet it hides some sophisticated functions under its winged design, including technologies from the performance helmets. The WingBack emphasises its sporty character with deep ventilation channels, thin struts and a separation edge at the rear. The combination of polycarbonate (PC) and polystyrene (EPS) gives it a very light appearance, with a weight of just 240 g. The flutter-free FlowStraps webbing does not need a strap distributor.

With Zoom Ace, the helmet can be quickly adjusted to individual head sizes and there is also room for a ponytail. So: helmet on, and a tour in the style of fixie riders can begin.

Sizes Available

Medium: 54 – 58cm

Large: 57 – 61cm
