Expirience with the Merida BIG.SEVEN 20

Ludwig Döhl If you like a lively bike, you should take the Merida Hardtail into consideration. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 14,82 kg of the Merida BIG.SEVEN 20 counts towards the lighter Racebike that you get for under under 800 Euro. The short chainstays make for playful handling. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Merida. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. On the downhill, however, the Merida Hardtail is left in the dust by its competitors. Finally, the Merida BIG.SEVEN 20 still has one point to prove: compared to the competitors in the same price segment, the Merida has significantly stronger brakes. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
