Merida Big.Seven 20-MD (2015)
The 2015 Merida Big.Seven 20-MD is an entry-level cross-country mountain bike. Equipped solidly, with reliable, durable componentry, including all-condition Promax mechanical disc brakes, a clean-shifting Shimano 3x8 drivetrain, and light, tough alloy wheels, clad in high-traction treaded tires, at home on almost any surface. The frame is lightweight, sturdy aluminum, paired with a suspension fork for fast, smooth rides.
Merida's Big.Seven series is available in a very wide size range, taking full advantage of the 27.5" wheel to offer proper fit in sizes as small as 13.5". Geometry is tuned throughout the range, keeping rider position in the center and the controls and saddle available.
A good XC mountain bike.
