New One-Sixty from Merida. Looks nice & pretty well sorted, i'd run one. Short seat tube & 230mm dropper with infinitely adjustable travel on all sizes is an interesting approach.

I still think headset-routed cables can eat a dick though.

Don’t they take it a misguided step further and run the thought the bottom bracket or some weird shot too?

I find this pretty interesting given this and the One Forty are the same frame and suspension design, so you could theoretically switch one to the other

For the cost, they're also really well spec'd and for under 10k the One Forty 8000 gets you GX AXS (w/ XT 4-pot brakes) and decent Fox suspension:

No infinity link? Unless it’s hidden in that big ol seat tube.
There wont be one, just a solid pivot pin... but no doubt they work out a way to call it something fancy.

Like the Yeti eeb, its got a sixfinity :rolleyes:

It’s a Horst link so no need for the infinity link which essentially acts as a very incredibly long lower link
Pedantic FIFY. Short links create a strongly curved path, infinity link is so called because the movement is linear.

@ozzybmx - that 'sixfinity' linkage is marketing wank name but actually a bloody impressive bit of kit. Was quite surprised they didn't roll this out onto their non-e frames.
