Slight improvement on this one

looks shite.
What did you expect?
I wonder what On-One would come out with if we asked for a car?
a) re-badged chinese cheep car
b) something space-framed from steel tubes, odd wheel sizes, funny shaped steering wheel and the promise of 853 and ti versions?
Anybody who buys that is even more ATGNI than I am and that's saying something.
The Merc MTB looks certainly rubbish and although I didn't check it out it will be overpriced. In a Merc dealership on Monday they had a Smart electric bike which looked great. Belt drive and a great look. Once again I'm sure it will be expensive!
The wheels are too small..
"car designers miss the trend shokka"
Too small for what exactly??
I can never understand why copy writers bother putting guff like
every single part being carefully hand selected for optimum performance.
As opposed to what?
Randomly chosen by a blindfolded, drunk bloke in return for cake, to ensure mediocrity, at best
Looks wise it looks alright. Wouldn't buy one, but seen worse looking bikes.
For a car brand MTB that's way closer to rideable and decent than any have achieved before. It's a alu horst-link susser with Fox, DT Swiss, SRAM, Avid etc on it. As long as it's under £2.5k and the geometry actually works, it won't be all that bad!
Was looking at that in the Merc Concept Store on the Champs Elysee a few months ago.
TBH I'd change a few components but it looks a lot better in the flesh than in those photos.
IIRC it was about €2,200 as well, so not too badly priced. Looked like it'd ride OK as well.
Frame looked familiar but couldn't place it.
