Expirience with the Merida BIG.SEVEN 200

Ludwig Döhl Aabove all, the Merida Racebike just feels great. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 12,6 kg of the BIG.SEVEN 200 counts towards the lighter Racebike that you get for under under 1000 Euro. On very narrow trails, you will love the playful handling. When entering the saddle, the Merida Hardtail conveys a balanced seating position. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Merida Racebike doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Racebike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 899 Euro . With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
