The lightweight aluminium frame can support a maximum wheel and tire clearance of 27.5 x 2.25' and a 135 x 9mm axle standard, making it well-suited for trail adventures. The Suntour XCT30 HLO fork with 100mm of travel enhances comfort on natural trails with roots and loose rocks. It helps maintain grip in corners and provides power during climbs.

Using the Merida Big.Seven 20 is easy. First, adjust the seat and handlebars to a comfortable position. When riding on flat or uphill sections, you can use the lockout feature of the suspension to maximize climbing efficiency. On rocky descents, release the lockout for a smoother ride. For different terrains, shift the 1x8 drivetrain to the appropriate gear to make your ride easier. When it comes to braking, rely on the hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power in all conditions. As for maintenance, regularly clean your bike after each ride, especially the chain and brakes. Check the tire pressure before every ride and keep it at the recommended level. Every few months, have your bike serviced by a professional to ensure all parts are in good working order. Remember, always wear proper safety gear like a helmet when riding.
