The same fun handling and trail taming performance as its bigger brothers, but in a wallet-friendly specification. This is affordable trail performance at its best. 29″ Wheels, 140mm air fork, 1 x 9 drivetrain and a dropper post

The original Big Trail concept was the result of a few UK dealers discussing the ideal UK trail bike with the Merida R&D chief – simple: 140mm air fork, 29″ wheels, 1 x transmission and a dropper post. Now in its 2nd iteration Big Trail is a fun-packed and hugely capable trail bike. Its progressive geometry combines a steep 76.5° seat angle with a slack 64.0° head angle giving great climbing characteristics and plenty of stability when the terrain gets steep or rough.

Highlights:

• Modern trail bike geometry with long reach, slack head angle and steep seat angle
• 140mm Air fork
• 1 x 9 Shimano CUES drivetrain
• Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes
• Dropper seat post
• 29″ Boost standard wheels with 2.4″ tyres
