Merida Big.Seven 40 (2015)
The 2015 Merida Big.Seven 40 is a beginner's mountain bike. Rolling on the latest in off-road wheel sizes, the 40's 27.5" treads are deeply treaded, offering a confident footprint on all kinds of terrain. Componentry is reliable and durable throughout the build, providing riders new and experienced with the performance and utility they need: the drivetrain is Shimano, shifting cleanly under load, with intuitive Rapidfire shifters. Brakes are all-weather Promax discs, providing sure stopping power and precise control.
The frame is lightweight, sturdy aluminum, paired with a suspension fork, for a smooth, responsive ride. Take on a first trail or the climb that's always ended up in a walk, all a possibility for the Big.Seven.
A good starter mountain bike.
