With end of winter nearing, new products have arrived at Merlin. Whether it’s bikes, pedals or even sealant, this blog should have you itching for a summer of riding.
Ridley Noah 3.0
This bike has got us really excited here at Merlin. The new Noah 3.0 promises all the best features of the Noah but at the same accessible price point. Ridley are known for keeping up with the latest cycling developments and this bike is no different: progressive racing geometry and the addition of the universal derailleur hanger constitute a competitive road bike in an ever-advancing market. Its success as a race bike was also recently shown by the road race team Uno-X, whose team rider Søren Wærenskjold claimed a victory at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Could this be the ultimate summer race machine?
Renthal Hi-Rise 35
Having already established themselves on the downhill scene, Renthal have created their collection with e-bikers and tall riders alike in mind. Available with 50mm, 60mm and 70mm rise, the new geometry offers a more relaxed stance on the bike. Steep tech lovers and short travel riders are in luck too; the Hi-Rise bars allow for a higher front end whether it’s jibbing or DH shuttle runs.
Jack The Rack
Jack the Rack is our new favourite for commuting. This front bike rack truly utilises the space on the bike offering a safe and stable storage solution. The universal mounting system and 5kg weight load complete this product as a must-have. Summer adventures have just been made easy.
Silca Ultimate v2 Tubeless Sealant
Silca have made sure to listen to customer feedback with their new and improved sealant while still maintaining the essential things. Their new sealant is now more user-friendly than ever, with slower drying out time and cleaner sealant installation. A durability of over six months and 6mm+ puncture sealing capabilities better this product further too. Why wouldn’t you opt for this sealant when it comes punctures?
Garmin Rally RS200 Pedals
Garmin’s Rally RS200 Pedals are not only high performing pedal themselves, but make sure you’re also performing highly with their inbuilt power sensors. Seamless connections across your Garmin products to these pedals means you always have access to what’s important. Additional metrics to power and cadence, the Rally RS200 pedals help you target weaknesses and harness strengths. This could be the next best thing for summer racing.
