Merida Bikes is a Taiwanese bicycle manufacturer founded in 1972 by Ike Tseng. The company is named after a famous Roman city in Spain and is known for producing high-quality bicycles for every type of rider, from professional athletes to recreational cyclists.
In the early years, Merida focused on manufacturing affordable bicycles for the European market. However, in the 1980s, the company began to expand its product line and develop new technologies. Merida was one of the first Taiwanese manufacturers to produce mountain bikes, and in 1988, it introduced the world's first magnesium-alloy bicycle frame.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Merida continued to innovate and introduce new technologies, such as the carbon-fiber frame and the dual-suspension mountain bike. The company also expanded its global reach, opening offices and manufacturing facilities in Europe, Asia, and North America.
Today, Merida Bikes is one of the largest bicycle manufacturers in the world, with a wide range of high-quality products for every type of cyclist. The company is known for its commitment to innovation and quality, using only the best materials and the latest technologies in its bicycles. Merida is also a sponsor of professional cycling teams and athletes, including the UCI World Tour team Bahrain Victorious.
