{"product_id":"merida-big-seven-15-2027","title":"Big Seven 15 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Big Seven is the 27.5in wheeled counterpart to the Big Nine, built for shorter riders and for anyone who would rather have a bike that flicks between turns than one that carries speed in a straight line. The 15 is the most affordable build in it. Its TFS V frame is double butted, technoformed 6061 aluminium with a tapered head tube, full internal cable routing and chain stay mounted disc brakes, and it uses the longer reach and shorter stem of the current generation rather than the cramped geometry hardtails at this price used to have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn SR Suntour XCS28 coil fork provides 100mm of travel, and the drivetrain is a Shimano 2x7 with Altus shifters, a Tourney TY300 rear mech and a 12-32 cassette on a Prowheel chainset, which keeps the gear range broad and the servicing simple. Braking is by Shimano BR-M375 mechanical discs. Kenda K1080 tyres in 27.5x2.2 roll easily on trails and towpaths, Merida Comp CC rims with a 20mm internal width sit on Shimano hubs, and mudguard and kickstand mounts make it useful for far more than weekends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTFS V double butted and technoformed 6061 aluminium frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapered head tube, full internal cable routing, chain stay mounted disc brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrail ready geometry: longer reach, shorter stem, slacker head angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSR Suntour XCS28 coil fork, 100mm travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano 2x7 drivetrain: Altus front mech, Tourney TY300 rear, 12-32 cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProwheel TM-CY10 36-22 tooth aluminium chainset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano BR-M375 mechanical disc brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKenda K1080 27.5x2.2 tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerida Comp CC rims, 20mm internal width, on Shimano TX505 and QC300-HM Centerlock hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMudguard and kickstand mounts, BSA threaded bottom bracket, 135 x 9mm rear axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame clearance for 27.5 x 2.4 tyres; fork rated to 27.5 x 2.25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications::Big Seven 15\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscipline: MTB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Aluminium\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFront Travel: 100mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheel Size: 27.5in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGearing: 2x7\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrakes: Mechanical disc\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame - \u003c\/strong\u003eTFS V - 6061 aluminium, double butted and technoformed.
