Getting into trail riding or looking for an extra capable mountain bike for your next off-road adventure, then the Merida Big Trail 200 Mountain Bike is your ticket to excitement. Armed with a modern trail bike geometry that combines stability with lots of space to manoeuvre behind the cockpit and supper grippy 29er wheels, the 200 delivers a confidence-inspiring riding experience and trail fun in buckets.We often associate ‘trail fun’ and ‘trail capability’ with more and more full suspension travel because long-travel bikes are getting more capable on the way down and on the way back up again. At the same time, the trail hardtail has developed quietly in its shadow. After being absent from this segment, we returned to the trails with a bang onboard the BIG.TRAIL. Meridas test-winning trail hardtails keep impressing the bike press and trail riders and have managed to perfectly combine a modern trail bike geometry with long-travel forks and chunky 29er wheels for amazing corner grip and comfort. Bikeboard.cc confirmed that we ‘nailed it’, while MBR, MBUK, IMB, Bikeradar and many more confirmed that the BIG.TRAIL is firmly at the top of the trail hardtail game. If you haven’t heard or you’re not yet a proud owner of it, then welcome to the BIG.TRAIL which offers simplified and hassle-free trail fun in spades. Available from S to XXL giving the BIG.TRAIL ample size and reach options.
