Merida Big Seven 15 Mountain Bike
Information
Merida's expertise for over 50 years has been building bombproof aluminium hardtails. The latest generation follows modern mountain bike trends - a longer reach combined with a shorter stem. The geometry features a steeper seat angle and slacker head angle for greater offroad capability but without compromising everyday usability. The sophisticated TFS frames feature: full internal cable routing for a clean, neat set up, tapered headtube offering future upgrade potential inboard disc brake mounts protect the brake and maximise stopping power; dropper post ready New XXS Big Seven size extends the wide range of sizes; Big Nine for taller riders, Big Seven for shorter riders. Riders in the middle can take riding style into account - for speed and efficiency choose a Big Nine, for agility choose a Big Seven.
