All of the 140 frames ship with a complete 29″ wheelset but of course, the mullet option remains. Actually, switching out the 29″ rear wheel for a 27.5″ wheel does increase travel from 143mm to 151mm.Big news for the new Merida 160 and 140 bikes is the switch to a linkage-driven single-pivot suspension design that makes use of flexible seatstays. This flex system is present on both the carbon and aluminum frames. Relative to the chainstays, the seatstays bend through a total of 2°.
As you can see in the graphs above, the progression offered by the linkage on the XS is quite different to that on the Mid frame size; 6% versus 9.3%. Those numbers pertain to the progression between the sag point and 95% of the travel. For all frame sizes, the leverage curve becomes regressive toward the end to allow riders to squeeze every last millimeter of travel out of air shocks.
