Merida Matts 10 V opinions..
Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2011 8:53 pm
Hi all,
Firstly I did a search but couldn't come up with anything on the Matts 10 V, only other Matts series, but if my search lacked and there is something out there, I appologise and please link me to it .
Currently have a temp mountain bike (Huffy Gila DS) but always looking out for a better MTB (2nd hand via trading post/ebay etc..). Just wondering what opinions you guys have for the Merida Matts 10 V for use on fire trails/dirt paths. I'm keeping an eye out for something non-professional yet something that if I wanted to, could put my foot down, become (slightly) air borne and be a 'little' rougher than your average Sunday ride, all without doing damage to the bike.

By the looks of it, it would retail around $400 from a LBS which from reading, is a very basic bike and the shocks for that price wouldn't be 'that' great.
Alternatives welcome and appreciated
Regards,
