Merida Big.Seven XT-Edition (2018)

The 2018 Merida Big.Seven XT-Edition is a mid-range cross-country mountain bike. As one might anticipate, the drivetrain is Shimano's ace, ultra-reliable XT, 2x11 gearing governed by a Shadow Plus derailleur, its ingenious design keeping it safe from hazards. Brakes are also Shimano's, hydraulic discs providing loads of stopping power in all conditions. Lightweight alloy wheels clad in Maxxis' all-round Ikon tires provide sure-footed traction, rolling easily over rock, root, or rut.
A very good cross-country mountain bike.
