Merida Crossway 300 (Matt Early Moss Grey/Green)
4711256508641
A trekking hybrid for riders who want genuine comfort over rough roads and light trails, with a lockable suspension fork and wide tyres that make longer, rougher rides feel easy.
Overview
The Crossway 300 sits at the top of Merida's Crossway trekking range, built for riders who want more comfort and capability than a city hybrid without needing a mountain bike. The updated aluminium frame offers more tyre clearance than before, and the SR Suntour coil suspension fork with 63mm of travel and a lockout takes the sting out of rough tarmac, gravel paths, and light trails.
A Shimano CUES 2x10 drivetrain gives a genuinely wide gear range for loaded rides and hills, while the wider 45mm Maxxis Metropass tyres add grip and comfort without giving up too much rolling efficiency on the road. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes bring confident stopping power regardless of load or weather, and the frame keeps its mounts for a rack, mudguards and kickstand.
It's built for the rider who wants one bike that handles the commute, the weekend forest trail, and the loaded touring day equally well — a genuine do-it-all trekking hybrid rather than a compromise in any one direction.
Why You'll Like It
A suspension fork that actually locks out — flick the lever for a firm front end on smooth tarmac, or leave it open for rougher paths and trails.
Wide 45mm tyres with real puncture protection — the Maxxis Metropass tyres add grip and comfort without feeling sluggish on the road.
A genuinely wide 20-speed range — from the Shimano CUES 2x10 drivetrain, so loaded climbs and fast flats are both comfortably covered.
Ready to carry gear — rack and mudguard mounts mean this bike is set up for touring and commuting, not just fair-weather rides.
Reflective sidewalls on the tyres — add a genuine visibility safety margin for early morning or evening rides.
Who Is It For?
The Crossway 300 suits riders who want a single bike that can genuinely do it all — weekday commuting on rough city roads, weekend trips onto forest trails or towpaths, and the occasional loaded touring day, all without switching bikes. It's a strong step up for someone who's outgrown a basic hybrid's comfort ceiling.
For riders dealing with a mix of broken tarmac, unpaved stretches and monsoon-affected roads, the lockable suspension fork and wider tyres make a genuine difference in comfort and control that a rigid hybrid simply can't match — lock the fork out for the smooth commute stretch and open it up the moment the road gets rough.
Good to Know
- Set the fork's lockout to open for trails and rough roads, and lock it for smooth tarmac — it takes a couple of rides to get a feel for when each setting suits you best.
- The Metropass tyres' reflective stripe adds low-light visibility, so it's worth keeping them clean rather than caked in mud for the reflective element to do its job.
- A quick check of the fork's lockout cable tension every few months will keep the lever action feeling crisp.
