Because the logos of Merida Bicycles have been updated, one is the logo before 2013, and the other is the new logo used after 2013. As shown in the picture below, the left is the old logo used by Merida Bicycles before 2013, and the right is the new logo used by Merida Bicycles since 2013.

In 2013, Merida sponsored the well-known Italian Lampre team in the form of title sponsorship, officially entering the ranks of the first-level road racing world series. At the same time, Merida launched a new image logo.

Merida bicycle core technology:

Merida’s innovative and revolutionary 0.9 frame uses the same material as the legendary 96 Supreme. It is composed of HM, High Modulus, UHM, Ultra-High Modulus) and IM Intermediate carbon fiber materials - and is fixed by the latest nano-reinforced composite materials.

All frame tubes are made with "Blast Bladder" technology. The highest load force is obtained through actual testing, and then the "Tube-to-Tube" connection or inner casing method is carried out according to different frame parts. This enables the one-piece frame structure to achieve an astonishing "Structure Element", creating an astonishingly optimal layering and zero wrinkles.

At the same time, the vertical reinforced keel divides the inside of the down tube into two independent chambers (Double Chamber Technology) to achieve the best vertical torsion strength of the down tube.

The hollow diameter of the frame riser gradually shrinks from a huge outer diameter of over 40mm (the bottom bracket part) to 31.6mm (the top of the riser).

Regarding BB selection, riders have different choices: In terms of system integration, the BB30 version provided by Merida 0.9 combines the strongest and lightest features (frame, BB, crank). But riders have another option: For riders who pursue the lightest "empty frame", they can choose the 73mm BSA bottom bracket specification - which is 30 grams lighter than the BB30 version.

Another key to reducing the weight of the car is the use of a full carbon fiber "post-mount" rear dropout system installed on a 160mm axle.

The same technology is also used in the seat tube’s integrated front derailleur adapter (compatible with SRAM XX). The integrated front derailleur adapter not only protects the thin riser from the high load forces generated during shifting, but is also lighter than the traditional buckle-type adapter.
