Jose Hermidas Merida Ninety Six, RC9000, Dream Build, Shimano XTR 12, Light Cross Country Bike

We visited José Hermida at his home in Spain and were able to be there when he himself disassembled and reassembled his personal Merida Ninety-Six RC9000 in his workshop for a major service after more than 12 months of racing. José Hermida was world champion three times in his extremely successful career and won the silver medal once at the Olympic Games. He is still a brand ambassador for the Merida brand and his expertise is instrumental in the development of Merida CC bikes. For more details, see the spec list with the respective weights.
