Samenvatting

The Merida Big.Trail is a versatile and capable trail bike designed for a wide range of riding styles, from technical singletrack to extended adventures. It features modern geometry with a slack head angle and steep seat angle, paired with a 140mm travel fork for confident handling. The bike is praised for its solid build, extensive features list, and the inclusion of a Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork, though some note the reach could be longer for more aggressive riding.

Pros
  • Versatile frame suitable for various trails and riding styles

  • Modern geometry with slack head angle and steep seat angle

  • Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork praised for its performance

  • Extensive features list including multiple accessory mounts

  • Solid build quality with a focus on ride time and reliability

Cons

  • Shimano brakes lack punch, especially in wet conditions

  • Low bottom bracket can lead to pedal strikes on rough terrain

  • Some components like grips and stem could be improved

  • Price point may not offer the best value compared to competitors

2021 Merida Big.Trail 600 review

apr 2021

The Big.Trail 600 from Merida is a trail-ready 29” hardtail that’s impressively capable and nicely specced. It comes with a few neat touches and a ride that’ll please both new and experienced riders alike, but it doesn’t quite offer the bang for buck its competition does. Ragley Marley 1.0 review Sonder Transmitter NX1 Revelation review Five reasons why you should have a hardtail in the fleet Here we have the Big.Trail in its 600 model, which sits atop a range of four builds. The lineup kicks off at a friendly £800 for the 200 model, and tops out at £1,500 for the bike you see here.
