Dirt 500 2026

Merida's new dirt jump and pump track bike won't break the budget - or break, full stop. Built tough from 6061 aluminium, it's got 26" wheels and a singlespeed setup for bombproof reliability.

Designed to deliver the most fun for your money, a Manitou Circus 100mm fork will save your hands when you case it, while tough Alex rims and fast Kenda tyres are ready to rip pump track berms.
