The Merida Big Seven 20 is a modern 27.5" wheel mountain bike with sophisticated TFS aluminium frame and a great component spec list.

Merida's heartland has always been bombproof aluminium hardtails. Half a century of frame building experience counts for a lot. Merida UK chose to upgrade all the Big Nine and Big Seven bikes destined for the UK to use a sophisticated TFS frame featuring the latest technology: full internal cable routing, for a neat and clean set up, tapered headtube for future upgrade potential inboard disc brake mounts to protect the brake and maximise stopping power Perfectly matching the modern frame Merida have used as much Shimano componentry as possible for reliability

Merida's 'Big' hardtail family come in the option for 27.5" or 29" wheels. The Big Seven uses the 27.5" wheel size which is the more agile than the faster rolling Big Nine's 29" wheels.
