Merida BIG.SEVEN TFS III 27.5" Aluminium Hardtail MTB – Comfort, Control, and Confidence in Every Ride
Conquer trails and city outskirts alike with the Merida BIG.SEVEN TFS III, a dynamic entry-level 27.5" aluminium hardtail mountain bike engineered to balance comfort, versatility, and performance. With its nimble wheel size, efficient double chainring drivetrain, and a comfort-oriented frame geometry, it offers the perfect platform for beginner to intermediate riders who want control on climbs, stability on descents, and confidence on every ride.
Compact, Capable & Comfortable – 27.5” Wheel Platform
The smaller 27.5” wheels bring fast acceleration and sharp handling to your ride, making them ideal for twisty trails, urban commuting, and riders of a smaller frame. With nimble control and agile responsiveness, you’ll feel more in tune with the terrain beneath you. The shorter top tube and taller head tube contribute to a more upright riding posture, reducing strain on the back while improving trail visibility and control.
Custom Comfort with 100mm Lockout Suspension Fork
Equipped with a Suntour XCT30 HLO coil suspension fork offering 100 mm of travel and a convenient lockout function, the BIG.SEVEN TFS absorbs trail bumps and obstacles, allowing you to transition between rough terrain and smooth roads with ease. Lock the fork for better efficiency on climbs and flat sections or open it up for shock absorption when you hit rougher ground.
Smooth, Wide-Range Gearing with Double Chainring Setup
Ride with confidence across varied terrain thanks to a Shimano TY301 crankset (42-34-24T) paired with a Sunrace 8-speed (11-32T) cassette, giving you a versatile 24-speed gear range to handle climbs, descents, and sprints. The Shimano FD-TY700 front and RD-M360 rear derailleurs ensure precise and responsive shifting performance every time you shift gears.
Reliable Hydraulic Braking – Even in Wet Conditions
Stop with assurance in all weather and trail conditions using Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, paired with 160 mm RT10 rotors on both ends. These brakes offer consistent, modulated braking force with minimal hand fatigue — a must-have for trail confidence and technical descents.
Tailored Touchpoints & Trail-Ready Components
From the MERIDA EC grips to the MERIDA Sport Comfort saddle, every contact point is designed with rider comfort in mind. The MERIDA CC cockpit system features a 690 mm aluminium handlebar and adjustable stem, allowing riders to fine-tune their posture for optimal comfort and control. The Shimano TX505 hubs combined with MERIDA CC aluminium rims and K1080 27.5x2.2” tires provide a stable, fast-rolling, and durable wheelset ready for mixed surfaces.
