Thanks for the comment! Its a really tough one, there's so many great "hardcore" hardtails on the market right now, we also reviewed the Orbea Laufey which goes toe to toe with the Big Trail, both have amazing features, components and they both ride really well, both come in at a similar price so it would come down to which features you prefer. I rode the Big Trail at a UK trail center and it was the complete package, was a fantastic climber but was also great fun on the descents. The lower spec models are great value but the Rockshox Pike fork sold it for me, even as the base level fork it felt very supple.
How about bringing Marita to the states? I guess not because specialize makes their bikes from you. Anyway, I hope one day I could see a Merida being here in the states
Outstanding review of 600 MTB.
Thanks very much! we're dead impressed with the bike!
Very nice more Merida Bikes reviews Sir 🍻
Thank you! We're working on more!
Would you pick this over rival bikes
