Explore trails, forest paths, and gravel routes with confidence aboard the Merida BIG.SEVEN SPEED—a high-quality, entry-level 27.5-inch aluminium hardtail that offers the ideal balance of agility, comfort, and performance. Designed for riders who prefer a smaller wheel size with responsive handling and fast acceleration, this MTB is your gateway to real off-road adventures.
27.5" Trail Agility Meets Aluminium Durability
Crafted from double-butted MAT aluminium, the BIG.SEVEN SPEED is built to be lightweight, tough, and responsive. Its compact 27.5-inch wheels offer quicker acceleration and nimble handling, making it ideal for twisty trails, technical descents, and riders of smaller stature. The frame’s comfort-focused geometry with a shorter top tube and higher head tube provides an upright riding posture, reducing back strain and increasing visibility on the trail.
Smooth Ride with SR Suntour Suspension Fork
A Suntour XCT30 coil suspension fork with 100 mm of travel efficiently absorbs shocks and trail chatter, giving you improved comfort and confidence across rough terrain. Whether you're tackling rocky paths or rooty trails, the suspension smooths your ride and maintains control when you need it most.
Triple Chainring Drivetrain: Power for Every Climb
Fitted with a Shimano TY301 triple chainring crankset (42-34-24T) and an 8-speed Sunrace CSM558AU freewheel, this MTB gives you a broad 24-speed gear range to handle everything from steep climbs to flat fire roads. Shimano FD-TY700 front and RD-M310 rear derailleurs ensure consistent, reliable shifting even under load or in muddy conditions.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes for Reliable All-Weather Stopping
Control is essential on varied terrain, and the BIG.SEVEN SPEED delivers with Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, paired with 160mm RT10 rotors. Whether you're riding in dry dust or wet forest conditions, these brakes offer powerful and predictable stopping power with minimal hand effort.
Precision Components for Long-Term Reliability
From the MERIDA EC grips to the MERIDA Sport Comfort saddle, each contact point is designed for ergonomic support. The cockpit features a MERIDA CC 690mm wide handlebar and angle-adjustable aluminium stem, tailored for confident handling. Shimano TX505 hubs, FSA sealed bottom bracket, and UCP steel spokes round out the durable wheel build.
Fast-Rolling Tires and Durable Wheelset
The MERIDA CC aluminium rims with a 17mm internal width are laced to strong hubs and wrapped in MERIDA K1080 27.5x2.2” wire-bead tires, delivering dependable traction, grip, and control across multiple terrains. The 27.5" size adds a responsive, sporty feel to your ride—ideal for tight trail navigation.
