Merida’s Crossway series of Hybrid Bicycles are not just for commuting but for fitness rides on both flat and slightly rough surfaces. The 2021 range of Merida Hybrid Bicycles has a wide range and we got the opportunity to test ride the Merida Crossway 10V (2021). Read on to know how it faired during our test ride.
Weight: 15kgs
Usage: Fitness/Commuting
The Merida Crossway 10V (2021) is a great looking hybrid bicycle with fast rolling tires and a comfortable ride geometry for smooth and rough urban roads.
The Merida Crossway 10V (2021) is built on the Crossway DT 6061 aluminium frame. The frame is double butted to provide extra thickness making it both stiff and lightweight. The top tube is inclined and thus makes for a comfortable riding posture. The Techno Forming System helped process the tubes and mould them in a neat way and make them strong.
The SR Suntour NEX front suspension fork comes with a minimal yet smooth 63mm travel. The suspension lockout was easy to use and useful to make the fork rigid for added comfort on flatter roads.

The Crossway 10V 2021 which I test rode came in a matte Anthracite frame colour with White and Black in a few subtle places on the Bicycle. The top tube is well designed with a shape which is neither flat nor circular. The superior quality paint job enhanced the colour shade immensely.

The Crossway 10V (2021) has an entry/mid- level drivetrain setup, with Shimano Tourney in the front and Shimano Altus at the rear as derailleurs. These derailleurs were smooth in transmission during the test ride and I did not experience any lags. The quick shifts helped in accelerating with ease. The Shimano RapidFire 3x7-Speed shifters were quick and easy to use.

The Promax V-brakes on the Crossway 10V were basic but performed well. During the test ride these brakes were tested with jamming the brakes and also interval braking and they felt safe and balanced.
The Merida CC handlebar was 660mm in length and had an adjustable stem to change the angle.
The stock V-brakes were powerful and safe to use in wet and dry conditions on both smooth and rough urban roads
The Merida Crossway 10V (2021) rolls on a pair of stock 700x40C tires. These tires were well treaded and at the same time the wheelset was lightweight thanks to its double walled rims. Even on slightly rough non-tar surfaces these tires rolled over without much difficulty. The Crossway Sport saddle was perfect in shape and also had lined patches on the wide part of the saddle to keep it non-slippery.

This is a comfortable Hybrid Bicycle with a smooth shifting drivetrain and fast rolling 700x40C tires. The ride geometry was the perfect combination of comfort and aggressiveness. With great aesthetics and a smooth ride quality this Bicycle is built for smooth and rough urban roads. Priced at Rs.31,990(as on 19th October 2021) the Merida Crossway 10V (2021) is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy a Hybrid Bicycle for fitness and commuting purposes.
