Merida Big Trail 500

Traction Connection!

The BIG.TRAIL 500 is the perfect companion for anyone who wants to experience pure trail fun. If you're a fan of hardtails, minimalist design, and a direct connection to the terrain, you'll love the playful yet stable geometry. It offers not only confidence but also inspires you to push your limits further. With robust 29-inch wheels, a long-travel suspension fork, and a dropper post, this bike boosts your confidence and opens up new possibilities.

While many associate trail riding with full-suspension bikes offering plenty of travel, trail hardtails have also continuously evolved. Although often linked to downhill performance and climbing capabilities, the BIG.TRAIL has established itself as a true standout in this category. After a long absence from this segment, Merida has introduced the BIG.TRAIL, a true "eye-catcher" that has impressed both riders and the press. Featuring modern trail bike geometry, a long suspension fork, and sturdy 29" wheels, the BIG.TRAIL delivers outstanding corner grip and exceptional comfort. Bikeboard.at praised the BIG.TRAIL as a "major achievement," and both MBR and IMB echoed the positive feedback. This bike is all about clear, direct trail fun. Available in sizes S to XXL, the BIG.TRAIL offers a range of reach and size options to ensure the perfect fit for every rider.
