The Shorty model has long been a favourite amongst downhill riders, in fact, it has regularly been the tyre of choice for DH World Cup winner Danny Hart. This trail version has the same traction but has a single-ply construction to keep the weight low - exactly what trail riders and enduro racers are looking for. EXO Protection: An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. Tubeless Ready: Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures to improve traction, a lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre, and less chance of flats. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty and the square bead profile of their TR tyres is designed to work with a broad range of tubeless rims.
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.

Merida's most versatile full suspension bike, as with all of the range, the One-Twenty is over forked running 130mm forks with plush 120mm rear travel.The designers considered both riders and mechanics, delivering a playful modern trail bike with a slack head angle, low stand over height and short chain stays that’s easy to maintain. The rear shock is held in place with trunnion mounts which due to the wider mounting increases frame stiffness and reduces shock wear. The designers can run shorter shocks and longer stroke allowing more scope for suspension tuning.All key bolts can be adjusted from one side of the bike with a Torx 30 key without the need for removing the chain set to access the main pivot bolt. While very much a trail bike at heart, the modern yet balanced trail bike geometry, paired with fantastic frame stiffness, created a mid-travel bike that is super capable on rough trails but also carries speed perfectly on less technically demanding tracks.
