Merida Speeder 300 (Silk Dove Blue/Blue)
4711256519357
A comfortable, sporty hybrid for riders who want a road bike's efficiency and a flat handlebar's control, with enough gearing range to make daily commutes and weekend rides equally easy.
Overview
The Speeder 300 sits in the middle of Merida's Speeder range — it keeps the road-bike-inspired frame and full carbon fork that make the range quick, but pairs them with a more approachable 2x10 Shimano Tiagra drivetrain instead of a 1x setup, giving a wider spread of gears for riders who want flexibility over outright simplicity.
The aluminium frame is hydroformed and triple-butted for a lighter, stiffer ride, and the carbon fork smooths out road buzz that a straight aluminium fork would transmit straight to your hands. Shimano Tiagra's 20-speed range (2x10) covers everything from steep ramps to flat-out cruising, and Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes bring consistent stopping power whatever the weather.
It's a genuinely versatile flat-bar bike — quick enough for a fitness ride, practical enough with rack and mudguard mounts for the daily commute, and forgiving enough in its gearing that hills don't become a chore.
Why You'll Like It
A wider gear range for real-world riding — Shimano Tiagra's 2x10 setup gives you a genuine low gear for steep sections and a proper top gear for flat, fast stretches — something a 1x drivetrain can't quite match.
Carbon fork comfort at an accessible price point — the Speeder CF2 fork takes the edge off rough tarmac without the cost of a full carbon frame.
Confident stopping in any weather — Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes stay consistent whether you're riding in dry heat or a monsoon downpour.
Ready for everyday duty — mounts for a rack, mudguards and kickstand mean this isn't just a fair-weather fitness bike.
Tubeless-ready wheels — give you the option to drop rolling resistance and puncture risk down the line without replacing the wheelset.
Who Is It For?
The Speeder 300 is built for someone who wants a bike that can be equally at home commuting through city traffic on a weekday and doing a longer fitness loop on a weekend, without needing two different bikes. The wider Tiagra gear range makes it a particularly good fit for riders who aren't yet confident pushing a harder 1x setup, or who regularly deal with mixed terrain and gradient.
For city riders dealing with variable road quality and stop-start traffic, the combination of a forgiving gear range and a genuinely comfortable carbon fork means less fatigue over a longer commute — it's a bike that keeps up the pace without beating you up over broken tarmac.
Good to Know
- Keep the Tiagra rear derailleur's barrel adjuster in mind if shifting starts to feel slightly imprecise after the first few hundred kilometres — a small adjustment is usually all it needs to stay crisp.
- The tubeless-ready Merida Comp SL rims can be converted to tubeless later with tape and valves if you want to reduce puncture risk further.
- Wipe down and re-lube the chain regularly in monsoon conditions — the 2x10 drivetrain's extra moving parts benefit from a bit more care than a single-ring setup.
