Merlin Bicycles-Road Bikes-Merlin Extralight

The Frame of Reverence. This bike has no peers in the industry. Designed for speed and ultimate riding performance, the Extralight maximizes stiffness while minimizing weight, resulting in a bike that can track the tightest of turns and power through the steepest of climbs. The Extralight continues to be the industry's yardstick for performance, weight, quality and craftsmanship.

1.125" Head tube with integrated headset reduces weight by eliminating traditional headset cups.

Merlin MTS size-specific 3Al-2.5V double-butted tubing.

Merlin 6Al-4V titanium machined dropouts.

Large diameter 7/8" butted V-bend chainstays for drivetrain stiffness.

Short and long top tube option.

Geometry by Tom Kellogg

Optional custom geometry through Merlin's "Made-to-Measure" program.
