Merida Big Trail 500 Hardtail Mountain Bike

The Big Trail 500 is built for riders who want confidence, control and fun on real trails. Its modern geometry, 140 mm fork and 29 in wheels give it the stability to handle steep descents while staying agile on tight singletrack. With a dropper post, wide range Shimano drivetrain and powerful hydraulic brakes, it is ready for technical climbs, fast flow and all day adventures.

Key Features

  • Progressive trail geometry with 64 degree head angle

  • 29 in wheels with 2.5 in Maxxis tyres

  • Shimano 10 speed drivetrain with wide range gearing

  • Dropper seatpost for on the fly saddle adjustment

  • Shimano MT410 hydraulic disc brakes

  • RockShox Psylo Silver 140 mm suspension fork

Modern Trail Geometry

A slack 64 degree head angle and long reach give the bike stability on steep, rough terrain. The balanced geometry keeps handling predictable at speed while staying responsive on twisty trails.

29 In Wheels And Wide Tyres

The large diameter wheels roll smoothly over roots and rocks, helping maintain momentum on technical ground. The 2.5 in Maxxis tyres add grip, comfort and control across mixed conditions.

Reliable Shimano Drivetrain

The Shimano 10 speed setup provides smooth shifting and a wide gear range for steep climbs and long days out. It is simple, dependable and easy to maintain.

Trail Ready Components

A dropper post lets you adjust saddle height instantly for climbs and descents. Shimano MT410 hydraulic brakes deliver consistent stopping power in all weather. The RockShox Psylo Silver fork offers 140 mm of travel to smooth out rough terrain and keep the front end composed.
