Different to conventional handmade frames, welding- robots always work with the same precision; they don’t know tempers and headaches. Experienced welding-engineers arrange the set-up of the welding-robots thoroughly and observe the process continuously.
We control the consistency of the welding with spot samples. The results are convincing: Robot-welded frames are permanently at a higher level of strength than handmade aluminium frames. In addition to that the welding-structure is absolutely consistent. On higher level frame-models, we optimize the welds with a further operation: the Smooth Welding process provides, through a second welding run without using a welding-rod, smooth and shapely joins of the highest stability.
That is why you can feel certain that at Merida, perfectly welded aluminium-frames are born.
One piece like the other. Yours, too. MERIDA ROBOT-WELDING represents our commitment to quality. Furthermore the use of robots in frame-production is one factor that allows top quality being affordable for you.
Flex stay
Special shaped seat- and/or chain-stays improve vibration-damping and create noticeable comfort.

Anti Wrinkle System – through three dimensional shaped silicone inserts, which will be removed after the manufacturing process, the internal surface of the carbon monocoque gets significantly improved. Less wrinkles create higher stiffness and improve durability.
Internal cable
Rear brake-cable running inside the top-tube - at some modles additional internal runnung shifting cables at the down-tube.
