Dirt 700 (2027)

This one is for the serious trail bosses, slopestyle shredders and pump track pinners. A super-tough aluminium frame is paired with some of the best dirt-jump-ready gear on the market, with the benchmark RockShox Pike DJ fork taking the sting out of landings and the robust 26" DT Swiss wheelset able to take a licking without flinching. We've used a controllable hydraulic SRAM four-piston rear brake with a cable-operated front – and the bike is compatible with gyros if barspins and tailwhips are on the menu.

• Tough 6061 aluminium frame with ability to run standard gyro
• Incredibly agile and tough 26" wheels with singlespeed gearing for simplicity
• Dirt-jump specific RockShox Pike DJ 100 mm fork
• Hydraulic SRAM 4-piston rear brake plus cable operated front
• Tough 160 mm cranks and DT Swiss D1900 wheelset
• Bottle bosses for drinks or lock boost versatility for everyday use

DIRT simple, DIRT tough. Whether you’re pushing for progression on dirt jumps, playing on the pumptrack or just want a bombproof hardtail buddy, the new MERIDA DIRT has you covered. Built for big air, pump tracks, tricks and generally giving it some stick, our new play hardtail has been created to take a beating and come back for more, with a tough but simple singlespeed aluminium frame, 26” wheels and components that can take a kicking on the regular. Designed to round out our gravity-bike range, it’s the perfect playtime partner for riders that want to sharpen up their skills or who want to kick off their dirt-riding career with a tough, more stylish option than a regular MTB hardtail.
