Merida Juliet 7.10 MD (2017)

The 2017 Merida Juliet 7.10 MD is a beginner's mountain bike. New off-roaders will like the full-featured 7.10: front and rear disc brakes, a tremendous number of gears, a suspension fork, and big 27.5" wheels inside knobby mixed-use treads. The tires are broad and quite versatile, rolling easily on grass, dirt, rock, or even pavement, lending confidence to new riders. Congenial to casual riders, too: a low step-over height, cushy padded saddle and grips, a chainguard, and big, grippy platform pedals.
A good recreational mountain bike.
