The Merida Ninety-Six XC uses a ZS44 zero-stack upper headset (zero stack, 44 mm), a 30.9 mm class seatpost, a 15x110 mm Boost front thru-axle at the front (15 mm x 110 mm Boost, front) and a braze-on front derailleur.
Most builds are 1x, so the front-derailleur mount note applies only to 2x setups. The rear is typically Boost 12x148; confirm your generation. The bottom bracket is covered on its own page.
