Merida Big.Trail 700 mountain bike review

May 2023

Merida Big.Trail 700 is, as the name suggests, Merida’s trail-orientated hardtail mountain bike. It features a blend of cross-country and enduro-style geometry and, although the bike's capabilities are the most pronounced when the trails start to slope down, it's one that delivers on most fronts with an option to upsize.
