Expirience with the Merida Big Trail 600

Ludwig Döhl The 140 mm fork travel helps you master the on demanding single tracks. Here, the Merida Hardtail really plays to it´s strengths. The combination of a 64 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Merida Hardtail, even if you ride fast. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Merida. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. In the price range under 3000 Euro, other manufacturers tend to install higher quality shifting systems. When viewing the 14,6 kg, its apparent: there are lighter All Mountains in this price range. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Merida puts a lot of trust in its products.
