Second-Hand Refurbished Merida Bikes

Why Choose a Merida Bike?

Merida is a benchmark in the cycling world, known for its commitment to quality, precision, and performance. Producing more than two million bikes per year, the brand combines German engineering with Taiwanese manufacturing excellence to deliver bicycles that stand out both technically and visually. From robotic precision welding on aluminum frames to their advanced multi-layer paint finishes, Merida’s attention to detail is present in every model.

Recognised as one of the leading brands in the global cycling industry, Merida consistently delivers bikes that offer durability, innovation, and a superior riding experience.

Merida: Where Design Meets Craftsmanship

Merida’s story began in 1972, when founder Ike Tseng set out to change the perception that Taiwan couldn’t produce high-quality bicycles. His goal was to elevate the “Made in Taiwan” label to a global symbol of excellence. In 1988, this mission took shape with the launch of Merida as a standalone brand — one with its design center in Stuttgart, Germany and its production facilities in Taiwan.

This unique dual-structure allowed Merida to blend European design philosophy with Asian manufacturing precision, a combination that remains the cornerstone of its success today.

Merida’s commitment to competitive cycling has been constant. From launching its first mountain bike team in the 1980s to supplying race-winning bikes to global athletes like José Antonio Hermida, Gunn-Rita Dahle, Rui Costa, and Vincenzo Nibali, Merida has built a legacy in both mountain biking and road racing. Partnerships with teams such as Lampre and Bahrain-Merida further underline the brand’s high-level pedigree.

Why Buy a Refurbished Merida Bike?

Buying a refurbished Merida bike from Tuvalum comes with several key advantages:

Significant Savings

You can save between 20% and 60% compared to the cost of buying a brand-new Merida bike. This makes it possible to own a high-end model without overspending.

Certified Quality

Unlike buying from individuals or second-hand marketplaces, every Merida bike at Tuvalum is professionally inspected, reconditioned, and certified. Our mechanics ensure each bike meets the same technical and safety standards required for new bicycles under EU regulations.

All bikes come with a 12-month mechanical warranty and an 18-month buyback guarantee, giving you peace of mind with your purchase.

Lower Environmental Impact

Choosing a refurbished Merida also contributes to sustainability. Giving a second life to a bike avoids the emissions produced in manufacturing a new one. In fact, producing one bike generates around 300 kg of CO₂ — which you help save by going refurbished.
