Using the Merida Big.Trail 600 is a breeze. When you're out on the trail, use the Shimano Deore 1x12 drivetrain to adjust your speed according to the terrain. When you encounter bumps, rely on the 140mm travel RockShox Pike Fork to keep your ride smooth. For descents, use the Merida Expert dropper post to lower your center of gravity. Remember to always wear proper safety gear like a helmet. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the pressure of your 29 - inch MAxxis Minion and Dissector tyres. Keep the Shimano XT M8120 hydraulic disc brakes clean and have them serviced if you notice any decrease in braking performance. Also, lubricate the drivetrain every few rides to ensure smooth operation.
