Review
"Merida has pitched the Big.Trail with the tagline 'Trail Fun Simplified' and it has done a great job of creating a package that maximises ride time and a broad range of users. The frame rides really well on technical rocky singletrack but has the fixtures you need for extended adventures or daily driver commuting."
- Gut Kesteven
The Merida Big.Trail 600 is a hardcore All-Mountain Hardtail with a price that belies its impressive specs list. In many ways, it may seem similar to the Big.Trail 500, however, Merida have really taken the Big.Trail 600s features to the next level! Combining the simplicity of a hardtail mountain bike with the excitement of a long travel fork to create an All Mountain Bike that's as at home on technical descents as it is jumping. The Big.Trail offers modern trail geometry, big 29" wheels and long travel for a grippy, yet comfortable ride. Merida has designed the Big.Trail 600 to get the most out of a hardtail that is comfortable, easy to set up and maintain. With the Big.Trail 600, you get an All Mountain Hardtail destined to replace the need for a Dual Suspension Mountain Bike - why need multiple bikes when one can nail the brief and still offer unparalleled fun?
The Big.Trail 600s lightweight alloy frame has a clean and simple look thanks to the internally routed cables and is perfectly paired with the legendary Marzocchi Z2 Bomber Air Fork. You're offered 140mm travel with an easy-to-use adjuster that offers 17 settings, while the all-new Rail damper ensures a smooth and plush ride regardless of the terrain or speed. Not only does this mean your arms and shoulders will be less tired, but you can also customise your ride to better suit your style, helping you to push your boundaries ever further! Before you know it, you'll be bombing down technical trails and sending it over huge gaps as you chase personal records! With the included Merida-branded long travel dropper post, standover height can be reduced allowing you to manoeuvre more easily as the trail gets more technical. While the modern trail geometry ensures that you can maintain control even when pushing your limit and yet still climb with ease thanks to the central seating position over the bottom bracket.
Merida has taken the liberty of upgrading the Big.Trail 600 to a 12 speed Shimano Deore drivetrain with remote actuated clutch, offering better ratios for trail riding, whether you're climbing or descending, you'll find you can keep going for hours on end without getting tired. With a better fork and drivetrain, Merida have recognised that riders will be going harder, so they've upgraded the Big.Trail 600 with Shimano Hydraulic Disc brakes. Not only does this result in increased braking performance, the Deore units also feature better modulation and won't fade after repeated braking, so you can brake later and harder as you chase Q/KOM status. Finally, the neat inclusion of multiple mounting points for bottles and hidden rack, fender and kickstand mounts means the Big.Trail 600 is just as capable out on the trails, as it is bike-packing or commuting.
The Big.Trail 600 is the perfect bike for riders wanting a single bike garage - it's an impressive All Mountain Hardtail capable of conquering demanding technical trails including enduro and downhill trails! If you're looking for a model that offers extreme performance, then you should really consider the Big.Trail 700 with its' Shimano SLX Drivetrain and FOX 34 Float Performance Fork. It's a lighter weight offering designed for extreme speed through gnarly sections, and for being sent off huge jumps. The Merida Big.Trail 600 is an incredible All Mountain Hardtail offering a plush ride perfect for long days spent out on the trails, or a quick after-work ride.
Modern Trail Geometry
The long reach, slack 65.5 head angle and steep seat angle place you directly over the bottom bracket. This results in a lower centre of gravity and ensures the BIG.TRAIL does exactly what you ask when you descend even when the trail is gnarly! Equally, this ensures that it maintains its impressive climbing ability.
Plush
Marzocchi Z2 Bomber Air Fork offers a seriously plush ride thanks to its long travel and multiple adjustment options. Not only does this ensure serious performance on all terrains and in all situations, it also helps with landing big jumps. And, when you're riding home, or uphill, you can easily lockout the fork for a more efficient ride home!
Merida Dropper Post
Merida long travel dropper posts allow for a low standover height when you're full send - keep your centre of gravity low and bomb down the trail.
