The Big Trail reignites a bike with modern trail geometry, big 29er wheels and long travel for grip and comfort. This bike is all about bringing the most out of a hardtail which is easy to set up, maintain, affordable and can be just as fun as a full suspension mountain bike.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe lightweight alloy frame with internally routed cables is paired with a Suntour XCR34 LOR Fork with 140mm travel and lockout for versatile trail capabilities. The modern trail geometry ensures that this bike can descend with speed even on technical trails and still climb with ease thanks to the central seating position over the bottom bracket. Ride aggressively on trails all day long with the 1x10 speed Shimano Deore drivetrain which is incredibly proficient on the trails Add in the Tektro Hydraulic Disc brakes for powerful braking and this bike is flat out fun, ready to corner with aggression and confidence. Spend all day riding with fixing points for two bottles and hidden rack, fender and kickstand mounts for anyone that wants to make this bike a capable commuter.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e The 400 is nice step up from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.centrecom.click\/merida21-big-trail-200-orange-black?jksnfjkfgh\"\u003eBig Trail 200\u003c\/a\u003e with an upgraded fork and the addition of a dropper post.
