You like your trails demanding, and you don't shy away from pedalling to the top to have another go. The test-winning Big Trail 500 is your ticket to ride, featuring a playful yet stable geometry that will deliver confidence and inspires you to go that little bit further. Chunky 29er tyres, a long travel fork and a long dropper post increase that confidence and capability even further.


Merida’s test-winning trail hardtails keep impressing the bike press and trail riders alike, having managed to perfectly combine a modern trail bike geometry with long-travel forks and chunky 29er wheels for amazing corner grip and comfort. Bikeboard.cc confirmed that they 'nailed it', while MBR, MBUK, IMB, Bikeradar and many more confirmed that the Big Trail is firmly at the top of the trail hardtail game. The Big Trail offers simplified and hassle-free trail fun in spades. Available from S to XXL giving the Big Trail ample size and reach options.


The Big Trail 500 model offers up a durable double butted aluminium frame with modern trail bike geometry with long reach, slack head angle and steep seat angle. The extremely low standover height is paired with a long travel dropper post. Kitted out with a Rock Shox Recon Silver RL 140mm travel fork, Shimano 1x10 Speed drivetrain and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with burly 180mm rotors. Rounding off the build are fast rolling Merida comp tubeless ready rims with 29 x 2.4” Maxxis Dissector tyres for their excellent balance of minimized drag and cornering traction.
