12mm thru axle is usually 15nm .....see no reason why it would be any different on your bike

Thanks to both of you for your replies. :)
I had a figure of 10-12Nm in mind, but I wasn't sure (could have been 12-14Nm). I had to use something so I went for 12Nm. I will leave at 12Nm for the moment and I will spend some more time to try to get the figure from Merida.

That should be OK as an interim. As a bove my past experience for allen key thru axles has been 15nm for the rear and 10-12 nm for the front. That always seemed a little weird to me given the front thru axle is 15mm whilst the rear is 12mm but I suppose it could be because the rear supports 148mm width as opposed to 110 at the front.
