The 2025 Big Trail 300 is built for riders who want a confidence inspiring hardtail with modern trail geometry and smooth suspension for technical terrain. Its long reach, slack front end and 29 in wheels give stability on descents, while the steep seat angle keeps climbing efficient. With 140 mm suspension, wide tyres and reliable Shimano components, it is a capable and accessible trail bike for new riders and seasoned explorers alike.

  • Shimano 1×10 drivetrain

Modern Trail Geometry

A slack head angle and long reach give the bike stability on steep, rough trails. The steep seat angle keeps weight forward on climbs, helping maintain traction and control on technical ascents.

Smooth 140 mm Suspension

The SR Suntour XCM34 fork provides 140 mm of travel to absorb bumps, roots and rocks. It keeps the front end composed on fast descents and adds comfort on long rides.

Reliable Shimano Drivetrain

The Shimano 1×10 setup offers simple, dependable shifting with a wide enough range for mixed terrain. It is easy to maintain and well suited to trail riding.

Confident Braking And Control

Hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent stopping power in all conditions. The 29 in wheels roll smoothly over obstacles, and the wide tyres provide grip on loose and uneven surfaces. The frame is dropper post ready for future upgrades.

The ALL NEW Merida Big Trail - TRAIL FUN SIMPLIFIED

For as long as we can remember, hardtails have been the backbone of Merida. The hardtail is for many, the first step into the exciting world of off-road riding. The last generation hit the trails on 29er wheels, with 140 mm of fork travel and progressive hardtail geometry. Loved by the international cycling press and hardtail riders alike, the Big Trail has made a name for itself and enjoyed great popularity.  However, similar to the short-travel full-suspension bikes, riders are looking to tackle even more challenging trails on their trail hardtails. Here’s what Merida had to say about the All New Merida Big Trail;

THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT

Originally developed on the back of a napkin by our R&D team, Merida UK and some of the UK’s most knowledgeable dealers, the Big Trail had a rather unconventional start to life.
The aim was to create a super capable trail hardtail with progressive geometry, featuring 29er wheels, long travel forks, dropper posts and trail-ready components. The result is more affordable, easier to set up and requires less maintenance than a full suspension bike. Entering the world of trail riding, the Big Trail featured a slack 65.5° head angle and a steep seat angle, both of which made it a solid descender even when the trail was littered with roots and rocks while maintaining impressive climbing ability due to the central seating position over the bottom bracket. It featured internal cable routing, bottle bosses for two bottles, trail-ready tyre clearance, and long insertion depth for dropper posts, paving the way for upsizing or downsizing, allowing riders to find the perfect size for the riding characteristics they were looking for.
