That's because our low step-through ENERGY CRADLE frame is stiff enough to cope with dirt tracks while also housing an internal 504 Wh battery and the latest Shimano EP6 drive unit. While the suspension fork and seat post help keep you comfortable when it gets bumpy, we've fitted it with a host of kit to make city life easier and safer, with mudguards, rack, lights, lock and a kickstand as standard. A smooth-shifting Shimano 9-speed drivetrain and strong, low-maintenance hydraulic disc brakes add fuss-free control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eSPRESSO CC range is the rugged sibling of the regular eSPRESSO CITY, with wider and grippier high-volume tyres on 650b wheels. While it's happy working hard in the urban jungle thanks to standard-fit mudguards, lights, lock, rack and kickstand, it's also capable of taking trips along forest trails and gravel tracks for fun. Featuring the super-strong low step-through ENERGY CRADLE frame design that gives the bike the necessary rigidity, the eSPRESSO CC models are equipped with a 750, 630 or 504 Wh fully-integrated battery. All come with a refined but powerful Shimano EP6 STEPS pedal-assist motor, delivering 85 Nm of torque. Smooth and comfortable progress is assured with suspension forks on all models, while powerful hydraulic disc brakes allow effortless and controlled stopping. All have a high system weight of 150 kg which means plenty of capacity for rider and luggage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLatest powerful Shimano EP6 drive unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper low step-through ENERGY CRADLE frame design with internally mounted 504 Wh battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth Shimano 9-speed drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuspension fork and seat post for comfort and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgile 650b wheels with grippy high-volume tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully equipped with guards, lights, lock, rack and kickstand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHFS - HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘C-Mount’ equipped bikes have the fixing points for a rear rack already integrated (some bikes require model specific rear rack), making fitting fast, simple and reliable. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eX-TAPER HEADTUBE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows us to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSMOOTH WELDING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a process we use to give a nice flat finish to our welds instead of the scaled, 'stack of coins' effect TIG welded joints often have. The welder uses the welding torch to go over the joint twice, helping to smooth out the filler material. It takes a lot of skill to do this, but it delivers strong and smart-looking frames that have the appearance of a carbon fibre frame at first look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eINTERNAL CABLE ROUTING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the majority of our frames, we run the gear and brake cables and hoses through the frame. The cables enter and exit the frame through smooth sockets, or we use one of our other systems like SMART ENTRY or WIRE PORT to be routed through. Running the cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look and can offer aerodynamic advantages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDI2 READY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShimano's Di2 electronic shifting system offers fast, smooth and reliable shifting. In particular, in the road world, it has proven itself as the primary choice when top performance is at the top of the agenda. With that in mind, we have a broad selection of performance road frames that are Di2 READY and can accommodate the electrical cable, battery and other little tweaks that the system requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRACELITE 61 ALUMINIUM\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use a minimum of 6061 grade aluminium on all our bikes. It’s particularly well suited to being shaped with our hydroforming and technoforming processes, which allow us to vary the wall thickness to create double-butted tubing and complex frame shapes. It’s also an alloy that welds easily, and once it has been carefully heat treated to maximise strength, it means we can create strong and lightweight bicycle frames for you to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eF-MOUNT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing able to turn your bike into an all-weather commuter that has mudguards and other fittings can be a real plus, in particular when riding on wet and perhaps muddy roads and tracks on a regular basis. To make fitting easy, some of our bikes are F-MOUNT equipped. These integrated fittings mounts make adding mudguards fast and simple. Please note that some bikes require model-specific mudguards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eK-MOUNT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using your bike in an urban environment, where you might not always have the option to use a specific bike stand, a kickstand is an ideal solution to park your bike safely. Some of our bikes come with a neatly integrated K-MOUNT, which makes fitting a MERIDA kickstand (or any commercial kickstand) easy. And if you don’t want to have a kickstand and prefer the clean appearance of your frame, the K-MOUNT is neatly tucked away underneath your chainstay, difficult to spot if you don’t know it is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eC-MOUNT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar to our F-MOUNT, where various fixing points for mudguards are part of the frame offering, the C-MOUNT equipped bikes have the fixing points for a rear rack already integrated, making fitting fast, simple and reliable. The C-MOUNTS are an additional feature that improves the day-to-day versatility by adding loading capacity to your bike, ideal for commuting and shopping trips. Please note that some bikes require model-specific rear racks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCASTED MOTOR BRACKET\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe e-bike motor mount has a sophisticated shape that is only possible to create with casting technology. Casting this piece allows us to create a complex yet lightweight shape that gives an extremely strong connection between the motor and the frame for improved performance and reliability. It also gives the bike and motor a smooth and cleanly integrated appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWIRE PORT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMERIDA designed headsets that enable all control cables from the handlebar to enter the frame through the headset cover, creating a clean and uncluttered look, allowing for a lighter, stronger and more aerodynamic frame structure than with conventional cable ports. Depending on the model, the cables are run completely internally (including the bar and stem) or semi-integrated, where the cables enter the frame underneath the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merida","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728812769562,"sku":null,"price":3250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/3441\/0950\/files\/MEEB2600840.tag.0.jpg?v=1771706133","url":"https:\/\/rider18.co.nz\/products\/2026-merida-espresso-cc-400-eq-se-504wh-e-bike-black-gunmetal-grey-medium","provider":"Rider 18","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
