2026 Merida Big Trail 600

Progressive Hardtail Performance for UK Trails

The 2026 Merida Big Trail 600 is built to take on technical UK trail riding with confidence, speed, and a big dose of fun. Designed in collaboration with UK riders and refined into its second generation, the Big Trail 600 combines progressive trail geometry with premium components for maximum capability. Its TFS 6061 double-butted aluminium frame, smooth welding, and internal cable routing deliver a clean and durable platform, while the 140mm RockShox Pike Air fork soaks up rough terrain with precision.

This latest version pairs a steep 76.5° seat angle for efficient climbing with a slack 64° head angle for superb stability on steep descents and rocky lines. Sizing is based on Merida’s Agilometer system, allowing riders to choose frame length based on their riding style rather than just height—longer for high-speed stability, shorter for quick handling agility. The Shimano Deore 1×12 drivetrain delivers crisp, reliable shifting across a wide 10-51T range, while powerful Shimano Deore 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203mm rotors provide consistent stopping power in all conditions.

Rolling on Reynolds 309 Enduro Comp tubeless-ready wheels and Maxxis Minion DHF / Dissector tyres, the Big Trail 600 offers exceptional grip and control. A Merida Expert TR II dropper post with generous travel ensures quick saddle height changes for technical sections, while the Boost axle standard and wide 30mm rims accommodate aggressive tyre setups for enhanced traction.
