嗆! (4大類別)年度最佳登山車: 美利達獨佔2席!

能被國際知名的專業媒體集團BikeRadar/MBUK評為Bike of the Year已經是一大榮耀，而在他們4大類別的最佳登山車佔了兩個名額好像前所未聞。

BikeRadar/MBUK找了幾位專家在英國等地實際騎乘32款菁英的登山車(4大類別、各8款)，經過幾個月的騎乘評比，最後從Trail(林道類)、Enduro(耐力型)、eMTB(電動登山車類)、Budget MTB(平價硬尾型)等4大類別當中各選出1款最佳車種，封為『Bike of the Year 2023』。測評結果Trail、Enduro兩類別的Bike of the Year 2023得主都出自美利達，雙喜臨門，真是難能可貴:

ONE-FORTY 700(140.700)榮獲Trail Bike of the Year 2023

ONE-SIXTY 6000(160.6000)則為Enduro Bike of the Year 2023

詳:

Having one bike top the hotly contested MBUK and BikeRadar Bike of the Year test is an achievement, but to have two bikes win is almost unheard of – but the ONE-SIXTY 6000 and ONE-FORTY 700 have managed just that, taking victory in their respective categories.

In an impressive validation of our MERIDA team’s design and execution of this new platform, both bikes came out on top of their respective categories after a months-long testing program that included a highly competitive field of 32 different bikes across four categories. 

The carbon-framed ONE-SIXTY 6000 took victory in the Enduro category, while its aluminium-framed sibling the ONE-FORTY 700 topped the Trail bike category. No bike brand has ever had their bikes win both the Enduro and the Trail bike categories in the same year, so we are very proud of this achievement, which stands as a testament to the design thinking, innovation and quality of this platform and the concepts we have introduced with these bikes.
