Description

The Big Trail has been a hit with the UK mountain bike press and trail riders alike. For good reason…

When developing this bike, Merida consulted their UK retailers and customer base in defining and delivering exactly what riders wanted from a fun-packed, capable hardtail. The riding scene in the UK is renown for a passion for their hardtail riding. So who better to develop a hardtail that can be the perfect companion for exciting trail sessions and demanding all-day rides over rough terrain.

The result of this collaboration… a hardail perfectly suited to to the demands of UK riding, in terms of geometry, ride quality and component specification.
