£1500 – Merida Big Trail 500 29er Mountain Bike 2026 Medium – Mokka (Brown)

Description

29er aluminium hardcore hardtail with RockShox Psylo Silver RC 140mm Air sprung fork Shimano CUES 1 x 10 drivetrain and powerful SRAM DB4 4 piston hydraulic disc brakes. The original Big Trail concept was the result of a few UK dealers discussing the ideal UK trail bike with the Merida RandD chief – simple: 140mm air fork 29′ wheels 1 x transmission and a dropper post. Now in its 2nd iteration Big Trail is a fun-packed and hugely capable trail bike. Its progressive geometry combines a steep 76.5° seat angle with a slack 64.0° head angle giving great climbing characteristics and plenty of stability when the terrain gets steep or rough. Sizing follows the Agilometer principle which means most sizes work for most body sizes so that riding style can be factored in. If you want to go fast take the longer size for agility take a shorter size.
