Merge
Meet the ultimate city ride
As part of the Oregon Manifest’s Bike Design Project, we set out to create the ultimate bike for our fast-paced, densely packed, and beloved city, New York. Merge is a compact and nimble ride, offering its rider confidence when navigating tight spaces and rough roads. It is an elegant solution with functionality embedded into every square inch to surprise and delight urban cyclists.

Hidden functionality is built in to every hidden space of the Merge bike. Extend the spring-loaded aluminum rear rack when you need to carry some cargo and secure it with the built-in bungee cable system. When the job is done the rack retracts back into the tube, disappearing with the touch of a button.


Ready for whatever the day brings
Merge has a pedal powered dynamo hub that juices up your phone and lights the way home, providing front and rear lighting as well as side safety lighting which glows through the frame. There is also a retractable fender for rainy days and lock/cable storage. All of the function, none of the bulk.
