For This Bike
Sep 2017 · Mountain Bike Rider
The Merida Big Trail stays true to the hardcore hardtail philosophy. Super comfortable riding position – helped by a tiny 35mm stem and 760mm handlebar.
Great build for the price with all luxuries catered for. Short stem and wide handlebar. Rides every bit as good as it looks.
Chain taps on high chainstay, although isn’t noisy. Dropper post needs more drop as only measures 115mm.

Perhaps the most upright road bike going, the Merida Ride 200 is ideally suited to those seeking comfortably relaxed riding position, as opposed to fast bunch-ride speed. Buy if you’re seeking an upright and comfortable starter road bike
Comfortable ride, full carbon fork, premium frame quality
Slow front shifting, brakes, perhaps too upright ride

Fast, stable and comfortable, and a few upgrades will make it even better
