From the very beginning, Merlin's mountain bikes have set the standard in featherweight Cross Country performance.
The epitome of that standard is the XLM (extralight mountain). Weighing in at a mere 2.8 lbs. and constructed entirely of our
lightest weight butted titanium tubing, the XLM is in a class of its own. From the CNC machined disc-specific dropouts and cable
guides to the elegantly engraved dropouts and bottom bracket, no detail has escaped our attention.

| The XLM is the perfect example of achieving the optimal strength-to-weight ratio. At under 3 lbs., the frame is strong enough to withstand the most punishing of trails. |
| Excellent handling and acceleration from the custom-butted 1 3/4" down tube, make this bike the perfect XC race machine. |
| Brutally efficient power transfer is generated by the double-butted S-bend chainstays. |
| Weight savings and vertical compliance are supplied by the single-bend, disc-specific seatstays. |
