The Merida Big Trail 500 is a 29er aluminium hardcore hardtail mountain bike designed for trail riding and equipped with high-quality components. It features a RockShox Recon Silver RL 140mm fork, Shimano Deore 1 x 11 drivetrain, and a dropper post.
The Big Trail has received rave reviews from the mountain bike press and trail riders. Experts have praised its performance, with Bikeboard.cc stating that we have "nailed it," and MBR and IMB confirming that it is one of the top trail hardtails on the market.
The development of the Big Trail involved collaboration between UK bike shops and Merida's German R&D team. The result is a bike that delivers both fun and capability. Its trail bike geometry, combined with a long travel 140mm fork and 2.4" wide 29er trail tires, make it the perfect companion for exciting trail sessions and demanding all-day rides over rough terrain, particularly well-suited to UK riding conditions.
The modern trail bike geometry of the Big Trail features a slack enduro inspired 65.5° head angle, steep seat angle, and a long reach. The short seat tube allows for a low standover height, providing plenty of space to maneuver on the bike when navigating technical trails. It also accommodates a long travel dropper post.
The versatile geometry of the Big Trail means that most body sizes can find a suitable fit. Riders looking for speed can opt for a longer size, while those seeking agility can choose a shorter size.
In addition to its exceptional performance, the Big Trail also offers additional functionality. It features two sets of bottle bosses and a trail mount under the top tube, allowing you to carry tools and extra gear on your rides. The bike can also be fitted with mudguards and a rack if you plan to venture further afield.
