Merida eOne-Sixty 900E (2017) first ride review

Jan 2018 · Guy Kesteven

Thanks to the compact Shimano Steps motor and the Boost rear axle, Merida has been able to keep the chainstays super-short (440mm) for a powered bike. . .

Merida Big Trail 800 first ride - MBR

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.

Highs
  • Great build for the price with all luxuries catered for. Short stem and wide handlebar. Rides every bit as good as it looks.

Lows
  • Chain taps on high chainstay, although isn’t noisy. Dropper post needs more drop as only measures 115mm.
