Versatile Modern Trail Bike for Steep Climbs and Fast Descents Those looking for a modern hardtail trail bike should check out the eccentric lite.

The slack angles and long reach inspire confidence and especially if you're a beginner, NS Bikes don't see why you should be riding the short steep donkeys that are the norm on the market in this category. 29" Wheels and Aluminium Frame with Modern Slack Geometry This 29er (29"-wheeled bike) hardtail is engineered with true trail-domination in mind and features modern aggressive slack geometry, long reach and a superb blend of top-performing components.

SR Suntour XCM Suspension and Shimano Deore 10-Speed Groupset At its helm, this trail-warrior is equipped with an XCM32 Coil 120mm travel fork from SR Suntour and is powered from trail to trail by a Shimano Deore 1x10-Speed drivetrain.

The Merida Big Trail has been a hit with the mountain bike press and trail riders alike. Bikeboard.cc confirmed that we 'nailed it', while MBR, IMB and many more confirmed that the Big Trail is firmly at the top of the trail hardtail game. Conversations between UK bike shops and Merida's German R & D team resulted in the development of a fun-packed and hugely capable bike. Trail bike geometry combined with a long travel 140 mm fork and grippy 2.4" wide 29er trail tyres make this the perfect companion for exciting trail sessions and demanding all-day rides over rough terrain. It's perfectly suited to UK riding. The modern trail bike geometry has a slack enduro inspired 65.5° head angle, steep seat angle and a long reach. A short seat tube delivers a low standover height giving plenty of space to manoeuvre on the bike when the trail gets technical but still accommodates a long travel dropper post. The geometry means most sizes work for most body sizes so riding style can be factored in. If you want to go crazy fast, take the longer size, for agility, take a shorter size. The Big Trail has hidden talents, in addition to two sets of bottle bosses, there's a trail mount under the top tube allowing you to carry tools and extra gear on the bike. It's also possible to fit mudguards and a rack if you want to trek further afield.

Our heartland has always been bombproof aluminium hardtails. Our entry level 29er is no exception, it uses a sophisticated TFS frame with the latest technology, full internal cable routing, tapered headtube and inboard disc brake mounts. There's no point making a bombproof frame and then hanging poor components on it. Despite the entry price point we load the Big Nine 15D with as much Shimano componentry as we can due to its reliability.
