Merida Big.Seven 100 (2018)

The 2018 Merida Big.Seven 100 is an entry-level cross-country mountain bike. A reliable and trustworthy steed, it will get you where you want to go, and be a pleasant companion along the way. Gearing from Shimano offers a panoply of choices, one for every trail you'll meet, while the stalwart disc brakes offer power in a crisis and control for those tricky situations. The light, tough alloy wheels are clad in Maxxis Ikons, great all-rounders that will happily take on mud, snow, dirt, rock, or grass.
A very good beginner's mountain bike.
