Merida Ride Disc-500 Road Bike Dark Silver/Black (2017)
Merida Ride 500 Disc is an endurance focused road bike with disc brakes, perfect for riders who want a more comfortable position for their road cycling. The Ride series features a more comfort focused frame geometry, making it perfect for recreational cyclists who want to spend longer out on the road enjoying their ride.
The Merida Ride series features a longer wheelbase and shorter top tube. This creates a more upright, relaxed riding position, as opposed to a more stretched out and aerodynamic position favoured by race oriented bikes. This riding position means improved comfort, meaning a more enjoyable experience over longer rides.
Disc brakes are a great upgrade and a new feature finding its way into road cycling. Disc brakes have long been a feature of mountain bikes due to their improve braking performance (particularly in the wet), with technological advances to decrease their weight leading to their growing popularity for road riders.
Overall, the Merida Ride 500 Disc is great value road bike with comfort geomtry and the added feature of disc brakes.Â
