As a Merlin Malt G2P owner, I will tell you about that.
It’s well made, comfortable fork compared to the Boardman CX in our house, much lighter wheels than the Boardman and Giant Invite we have. Takes 45mm tyres easy without guards, snug 38mm tyres under 45mm guards. It’s both nippier to take off and yet more stable at speed. Front is higher than the same size Boardman CX but lower than a full tourer.
There is an issue with them not having the front fork mudguard mount and no bottom steerer hole – I’m about to use velcro and the other stays to hold a front mudguard on.
It’s at the road end of the spectrum. If it’s technical or big days in the hills, I’ve a HT for that. I use it for forest roads, hill tracks and lots of road pootling with mrs_oab.
I’m really, really enjoying it.
