Speeder 500 2026

The Speeder is your rapid around town bike, great as an urban commuter or weekend leisure buddy.

Merida use triple butted 6066 series aluminium which is hydroformed to tune the frame for a comfortable, responsive ride. The addition of a full carbon fork with a tapered steerer delivers precise steering and a smooth ride. The upright position, flat bars and powerful hydraulic disc brakes are ideal for commuting, providing greater control and an enhanced field of vision when riding through traffic. 

For versatility, the frame can accommodate wider tyres up to 35mm, or 32mm with mudguards. Road.cc called it an 'excellent fast flat-bar road bike with awesome performance' and certified it to be a 'lovely bike – great fun, versatile, practical'.
