Designed to minimize saddle-to-bar drop, the Solis takes advantage of a taller head tube and shorter top tube and provides the rider a more upright position. |
Additional comfort is supplied by the elegantly appointed carbon seatstays, which act to absorb road vibrations. |
Solid power transfer is magnified 24% through the use of the all new ultra-stiff 1" chainstays. |
Precise steering and cornering is ensured by the lightweight 1 3/8" down tube and oversized 1 1/8" integrated head tube. |

Until now you would have had to order a custom frame to get the ingenious geometry and tube set of the Merlin Solis.
Never has a Merlin frame had this much success in its first year. The Solis, which was introduced last year, is defined
by its comfort specific geometry. This allows the rider a position ideally suited for comfort on long century rides but
that maintains the beauty and classical elegance that defines a Merlin. Add to this the power output that is easily
attained from this more upright position and you've got a bike that will exceed even your wildest expectations. The
luxurious feel of carbon seatstays is the final detail that will beg to turn those short rides into five hour epics.
