Merida 22 Speeder 300

A stylish fitness bike with quality components

A stylish fitness bike with quality components that offer smooth, precise action at a reasonable price. The triple-thick aluminium frame combined with the full carbon fork keeps the weight low, while the straight handlebar configuration creates a more upright and therefore comfortable driving position and improves visibility. Multiple attachment points improve everyday usability.
Fast and lightweight, the SPEEDER shares its genes with our range of road bikes. The geometry offers extended range for increased stability while providing a more upright and comfortable riding position. The sporty yet comfort-inspired geometry, combined with a straight handlebar that improves control and powerful disc brakes make the SPEEDER ideal for commuting or fitness racing. Wider tyres further emphasise the comfort element and give the SPEEDER more grip when it matters. Road.cc calls the Speeder an excellent fast straight-handlebar road bike with outstanding performance".

Technologies

PROLITE 66 TRIPLE BUTTED ALUMINUM
Our proven high-end aluminium (6066) is extremely lightweight and durable. Using triple thickness wall thicknesses and hydroforming technology, we can fine-tune the aluminum tubes to offer the best possible stiffness to weight ratio.

HFS - HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM
The tubes are inserted into negative moulds and a hot emulsion of water and oil is forced under pressure, allowing them to form complex shapes.

X-TAPER HEADTUBE
Our X-Tapered steering tube offers space for a conical fork to be mounted. Conical forks offer exceptional rigidity and precision, and provide a steering that inspires confidence.

SMOOTH WELDING
Sometimes called "double-pass welding", a second pass on the weld gives the frame a clean and organic look. At first glance, you’ll be convinced it’s carbon.

INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
The cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. The bike looks clean, while the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

DOWN TUBE EXIT
Ensures that cables and internally routed cables cannot move freely and remain easily accessible for maintenance.

TFS - TECHNO FORMING SYSTEM
The technology forming is a mechanical forming process, which gives shape to tubes using negative moulds, sometimes combined with an internal metal core.

F-MOUNT
Bikes equipped with F-Mount have integrated mudguard fittings (some bikes require model-specific mudguards), making assembly quick and easy.

C-MOUNT
Bikes equipped with "C-Mount" have the attachment points for an already integrated rear rack (some bikes require a specific rear rack for the model), making assembly quick, easy and reliable.
