Merida Big.Nine 40 (2018)

The 2018 Merida Big.Nine 40 is a beginner's mountain bike. Kitted out with new-rider-friendly componentry, the 40 is welcoming to the novice off-roader: wide gearing to tackle any hill with new legs, reliable hydraulic disc brakes for sure stops in any conditions, sure-footed tires to provide confidence-inspiring traction, and a cushy saddle. Underneath lies a lightweight aluminum frame, paired with a Suntour suspension fork to ease the bumps in the trail and cushion the landings.
A good recreational mountain bike.
