wanna test brakes ok is to go DH and press each brake separately. while testing front brake, if endo when braking means ok. for rear, if rear tyre skid means ok. just dont do in front of many people or TRAKS ppl :lol;
merida size XS mau try size?

fuel is trail bike, like stumpjumper. remedy is more towards heavy AM/FR, like sx trail.

if u want an all rounder i would go for fuel/stumpy/trance

ex 8 is GBP 2K, doubt that it could be RM7k.

just go to all the bike shops u can go and drool all you need to. when your drool finally dries, hopefully u made up ur mind already

just buy, if dont like then sell here cheap2, get something else.
