The Merida Big Trail 500 is all about the fun, with its aggressive trail geometry, agile handling characteristics and integration of the latest technologies. From steep, technical trails to fast and flowy singletrack the Big trail will be there with you. Rolling on 29er wheels with a max clearance up to 2.5". Based around a 61 Racelite aluminium frame with modern trail geometry through a long reach, paired with a slack 65.5° head angle and a steep seat angle. This causes the Big Trail to be an excellent descender even when the trail is littered with roots and rocks, while maintaining impressive climbing abilities. RockShox 140mm travel lockout front suspension is paired with the reliable 1x11 Shimano Deore M5100 drivetrain and Hydraulic Disc brakes. Cables are routed through the frame which protects from dirt as well as offering a smooth, clean look.
