its a good bike to upgrade - mt500 wheelset for wider tyers - fox 32 for better adjustability - dropper post its 1.5k on 99 bikes now so for probably less then 3k you have a very well specced bike packing bike. the steep geo would go really well on steep climbs.
Very informative review and love AMB magazine. I have this frame in a lower build spec and they don't actually have provision for an internal dropper. This is the TFS frame. There was a similar merida xc frame that did. It's confusing on Meridas website
You say in the video: "this bike has a SLX groupset". This is a lie. I have the same model and as per the spec, the only SLX components are the cranks and shifter. That is it. It's a very far call to say this bike has a SLX "groupset".
We've listed the exact parts breakdown in our review. Going through it piece by piece for a video is a bit plain: www.ambmag.com.au/video/tested-merida-bignine-slx-edition-596493

Yep, the geometry works for that kind of use really well.

Unlikely - but check with your local Merida dealer
