If you like flicking through race photos (both locally and from around the world), you may notice that close fit, minimal design and unobstructed vision make the Adidas Eyewear Supernova shades a popular choice among top riders.

It looks fast! I like it!
While I was umm-ing and ahh-ing about what style of bike would be the best choice for the following year, a mate said to choose the bike which will suit most of the riding you want to do. The Merida 96 is just that: out of the box it weighed 9.85 kg making it lighter than most hardtail race bikes. The extensively researched dual suspension design keeps it racey when you need it to be fast and efficient, but also takes the edge of during the more fatiguing rides. My hope is that with the light weight and efficient travel it will be a blast during XC races, meanwhile the increased comfort factor will mean a truck load less fatigue and shoulder pain during day long events.
