Product Details

Description

The Merida Big.Trail 500 Hardtail Trail Bike is built to take on fast, rough trail riding with confidence, pairing an alloy frame with a RockShox Psylo Air platform fork and 140mm of front suspension. Grip is sorted for the trail with Maxxis Minion DHF and Dissector tyres in wide 29-inch sizes, plus tubeless-ready wheels for better puncture resistance and smoother traction. Hydraulic disc braking from SRAM delivers strong, repeatable stopping power when the terrain turns sketchy. Designed with a fun, capable hardtail geometry, it is ideal for riders who want to push mountain trails, progress their skills, and enjoy responsive handling, while noting that pedals are not included and there is no dropper post.
