Singletrack have just reviewed the Big Trail 400 (11th June 2023) and given it a huge thumbs up with the journalist giving this quote
"Merida is perhaps not the first brand that springs to mind when people are looking for a mountain bike. But it should be. Merida is making some of the most interesting and well-sorted mountain bikes (including e-bikes) of the moment in my opinion."
This is also in our opinion as well, especially with the amount of awards being won by Merida bikes at the moment.
