Full-suspension MTB with 120mm from Merida (customized). All factory-fitted components that did not meet my quality and functional expectations were replaced with significantly higher quality parts. Only the frame, fork and XT drivetrain components remain from the original build. Basically, the bike can be categorized as a touring or marathon bike. As such, I enjoyed riding it regularly - mainly on forest and woodland paths as well as easy single trails.
The bike has always been regularly serviced and wearing parts replaced when necessary. The frame bearings have only recently been completely replaced. The suspension fork was also serviced at the same time, including an oil change and new dust wipers. The shock is as good as new and has not yet been ridden 100 km. The tires are also still very good, the rear tire is approx. 1 year/500km old, the front tire has just been replaced.
As the bike was ridden regularly, the usual signs of use are naturally present. I therefore recommend a personal inspection and test ride.
