Hi Hemi,
I've ridden woodhill a few times with my old 140 (mattock 160) and it was perfectly fine, have also done a day at Rotorua riding eagle vs shark and corners:
i'd say I am a pretty average rider and prefer trails over jumps so I don't see why 120mm in the rear wouldn't be fine.
I'm off...
i'm not sure what brand of stand my mechanic uses but he often clamps in a road drop bar upside down and hangs the bike off that - seems to do the trick!
Finally got my new bike home on Friday, however events in Christchurch far out-weighed getting some pics up on the internet.
I had originally ordered a 600 model with the new E7000 shifters and motor, but there was a bit of a delay so I was offered a 2018 800 model which I happily accepted.

Hi Leonz,
Do you know if you can get more travel out of the 130mm revelation by getting a longer air shaft? something like 150/160mm or is 140mm as big as you can go?

I'm up on the coast just north of Auckland, i had a Mattoc on my regular Merida 140 which was pretty nice, been using a 160mm X Fusion on a hardtail which has also been good.
Plenty of options...
No not yet, but on the look out for a fork - was going to go with 150mm but good to know a 160mm works well, there seems to be more of that length fork around here in NZ
Hello everybody, AJ here from Auckland, NZ.
I have been lurking for a while and watching Rob's vids on youtube, I now have a Merida E120 on order and am looking to make a few changes already!
Looking forward to learning more with this site.
Cheers.
