Double chainring equipped entry-level 27.5" aluminium hardtail featuring a more upright and, therefore, more comfortable riding position than our more race-focused hardtails. The riding position puts less strain on the lower back and also improves the visibility of what lies ahead. A 100 mm suspension fork from Suntour and hydraulic disc brakes improve comfort and control even further.

The Big Seven 20 is the alternative to Merida's Big Nine 29er hardtails, for riders who prefer the smaller 27.5"" wheels. The latest aluminium frame generation of the Big Seven featuring slim tube shapes create a new look and a more relaxed geometry. A shorter top tube and a higher head tube offering a more upright riding position and enhanced trail visibility. Similarly to Merida's 29er wheeled Big Nine range, the classic Big Seven hardtails are the backbone of the range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge Merida has gained in almost half a century of bike production and manufacturing. They symbolise the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship.
