Bikeboard.cc confirmed that Merida 'nailed it', while MBR, IMB, and many more confirmed that the Big Trail is firmly at the top of the trail hardtail game. Conversations between UK bike shops and Merida's German R & D team resulted in the development of a fun-packed and hugely capable bike perfectly suited to UK riding. The modern trail bike geometry has a slack enduro-inspired 65.5° head angle, steep seat angle, and a long reach.

A short seat tube delivers a low standover height, giving plenty of space to maneuver on the bike when the trail gets technical, but still accommodates a long travel dropper post. The geometry means most sizes work for most body sizes, so riding style can be factored in. If you want to go crazy fast, take the longer size, for agility, take a shorter size.

The Big Trail has hidden talents, in addition to two sets of bottle bosses, there's a trail mount under the top tube.
