What Feature Offers Merax Finiss Aluminum 21

Mountain bikes have so many diverse features, to begin with, that it is hard to list them all, but that is especially the case with this versatile monster. In this section, we will break down the best parts of this merax mountain bike to make the best-informed decision for your particular situation.

Great Design

This Merax  Finiss 26 bike has one of the sleekest designs that I have run across to date. The lines are clean and clear, and there are just enough graphics to pull the eye in. The great thing about the graphics is that not only are they not too loud and ostentatious but they are painted on.

This means that you won’t need to worry about them suddenly starting to peel off after many runs through the mud on the trails. The frames are a good, average 26” size which is useful for more diversity in height. Not only this, but the wheels have a very interesting spiralized design that I can only imagine looks incredible speeding downhill on a trail.

Riding Comfort

The fact that this Merax Finiss Aluminum 21 does come with front suspension translates to more comfort upon riding on different surfaces. Since the frame is a mountain bike design but the tires are a little less knobby than the typical mountain bike tires, it creates the versatility previously mentioned for different riding surfaces.

However, it has been mentioned that the seat is not necessarily the most comfortable because of lack of padding. Most standard seats don’t come with extra padding so wearing padded bike shorts or adding a bike seat pad to the top can remedy that if it is an issue for you. But overall, the riding comfort of this Merax Finiss Aluminum 21 is better than most would expect.

Easy Assembly

This 26″ MTB arrives almost 85% assembled. This is one of the best parts of it because the assembly can usually be the worst part of purchasing a new bike. Upon arrival, the only things that need to be assembled are the front wheel (including airing up both tires), both pedals and handlebar. Since the front wheel system uses a front wheel dropout, then that part is a piece of cake.

Airing up the tires is also simple if you have a standard bike pump on hand. The pedals are pretty idiot proof in that each one is labeled with an “L” or an “R.”. Not only this, but the manufacturer has made it so that each pedal can only be turned clockwise to insert on the correct side of the bike.

Brake Type

The brakes included on this bike are your typical disc brakes. Even though the front brake may need some adjusting upon arrival, these will work well for anything you plan to put the bike through.

Both brakes are manufactured by Shimano, which is one of the big names in bike parts these days. They are known for the durability and reliability, and these brakes are no different.

 

Weight and Quality

Since the frame of this Merax Finiss Aluminum 21 is heat treated aluminum frame that weighs in around 34 lbs, you know you are getting a solid frame. The average weight for mountain bikes these days is anything from 25 lbs to 38 lbs. This means that the Merax Finiss Aluminum 21 MTB sits towards the heavier end of the range. Which can be a really good thing depending on the rider’s weight and height. The max weight for a rider of this bike is 330 lbs, and they really shouldn’t be over 6’2, ” or the ride won’t be as sweet.

Gear & Shifter

Since this is a 21 gear bike, we already know that makes for a more flexible experience. More gears on a bike translate to more surfaces and topography that it can handle easily. Like the braking system, the derailleurs and shifters are manufactured by Shimano.

Therefore, we are getting the same great quality for this system of the bike as well. Shimano makes for a fairly seamless transition between gears upon shifting, which just adds to the pleasure of the whole experience.

This Mountain Bike has so many more PROS than CONS, which is exactly what I was looking for.
