With the BIG.TRAIL 600 , Merida enables access to extreme trails for relatively little money. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 14,09 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Merida is behind its products. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Merida BIG.TRAIL 600 sizing runs small.
