2026 Merida Big Trail 300

Affordable Trail Performance for All Riders

The 2026 Merida Big Trail 300 delivers the same fun handling and trail-taming capabilities as its higher-end siblings, now in a budget-friendly package. Designed for riders seeking a versatile, capable trail bike without breaking the bank, it comes equipped with 29″ wheels, a 140mm air fork, a reliable 1 x 9 drivetrain, and a dropper post, making it ready for a full day of adventure on the trails.

Built around the original Big Trail concept—developed by UK dealers in collaboration with Merida’s R&D team—this bike focuses on simplicity and performance. The second-generation Big Trail combines a progressive geometry with a steep 76.5° seat angle for efficient climbing and a slack 64.0° head angle for stability on rough descents, giving riders confidence on any terrain.

Key Features

  • 29″ wheels for smooth rolling over roots and rocks

  • 140mm air fork for controlled, responsive suspension

  • 1 x 9 drivetrain for reliable, low-maintenance shifting

  • Progressive geometry with 76.5° seat angle and 64.0° head angle

  • Sizing based on Agilometer principle for adaptable riding style

Ideal for riders looking for an approachable, fun, and capable trail bike, the Merida Big Trail 300 brings high-end handling to a more affordable package. Perfect for UK trails, all-day adventures, or anyone looking to step up their trail game.
