Raleigh Merit Elite

Go ahead and tick the boxes: Light? Agile? Eye-wateringly fast? Ready for any road, regardless of conditions? Check, check, check, and check! You must be riding Raleigh's Merit Elite! The carbon frame and fork ensure a lightweight platform that is stiff and responsive while damping road chatter. Front and rear thru-axles keep you on your line through high speed descents and dirt roads. Weinmann rims and 32mm-wide Clement tires offer a fast yet forgiving ride. Hydraulic Shimano Ultegra disc brakes scrub speed going into the turns and ensure that you retain total control in all conditions, while the matching Ultegra drivetrain offers buttery smooth shifting and a huge gear range. Planning on some long days in the saddle? You're going to love Raleigh's aero ergo handlebar, anti-shock stem and seatpost, and supportive saddle—a setup that will leave you feeling fresh at the end of your ride.
