Merida Speeder 900 Unisex City Road Bike 2021, 700c Wheel - Gloss Black

Merida Speeder 900 Unisex City Road Bike 2021, 700c Wheel - Gloss Black

Designed for those on the fence. For those who want that fast paced, agile & energy efficient ride, but don't want the bells & whistles that come with a specifically designed road bike. The 900 is most generously spec'd in the Speeder range, boasting silky & precise indexing from the Shimano Ultegra gearing and Merida Expert componentry where the wheels, stem & handlebars are concerned.

Formed around the widely popular and versatile Speeder Lite II Aluminium frame which is designed to withstand the brute of questionable city roads and unexpected detours, with Speeder CF2 Carbon forks reducing that weight at the front which in turn increases agility. Great for carving through the city traffic!

Built for urban adventure. Merida have finished the bike off with needle sharp Shimano MT-500 hydraulic disc brakes & comfortable straight city handlebars. They've even included some lovely finishing touches in the form of a saddle integrated tool and Carbon seat post!

Comfortable Yet Sporty Geometry

Since its redesign for the 2020 season, the SPEEDER has become more sporty. By increasing the length of the top tube, we have achieved a slightly longer reach, which offers the rider a more sportive riding position while still being on the comfortable side. Furthermore, this geometry change leads to a longer wheelbase, which has a positive effect on directional stability and in combination with the slightly slacker head tube angle, improves the riding stability at speed.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

All models feature powerful and easy to modulate hydraulic disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes offer great stopping power in any weather, are more or less maintenance-free and are not affected by rough or kinked cables.

Let's Go Wide

The new SPEEDER has the ability to take up to 37 mm wide tyres, increasing the ride comfort as well as the grip (and therefore safety). Wider tyres also offer improved puncture protection. Even with fenders being fitted, the SPEEDER can still take up to 32 mm wide tyres.

Sophisticated Frame

We use 6066 series aluminium, the highest level generally used in bike production. Its metallic composition allows it to be extensively hydroformed (a process of forcing a hot emulsion of water and oil through tubes in a negative mould). This allows us to vary wall thicknesses and tune the frame to be both strong where it is needed and flexible where required.

Internal Cable Routing

We feature internal cable routing on all models. Cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. Only a clever system for our internal guiding and fixing guarantees reliable and rattle free routing, whilst the cables are protected from moisture and dirt and gives the bike a cleaner look.

Saddle Integrated Tool

Repairs on the go? Never leave your tool behind thanks to the included saddle tool!

Carbon Fork

All models are equipped with a full carbon tapered fork. Carbon has great vibration absorbing properties in addition to being lightweight, so ride quality is improved. The carbon tapered steerer provides great stiffness to the front end of the bike, delivering precise and confidence-inspiring handling.
