{"product_id":"merida-big-trail-300-2027","title":"Big Trail 300 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Big Trail concept came out of a conversation between a handful of UK dealers and Merida's R\u0026amp;D chief about what a British trail hardtail actually needs: a 140mm air fork, 29in wheels, a 1x drivetrain and a dropper post. The 300 is the most affordable way into that recipe, and it gives up none of the geometry that makes the platform work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TFS 6061 double-butted technoformed aluminium frame runs a 64.0° head angle with a 76.5° seat angle, so it climbs without you sliding off the back and stays calm when things get steep. An SR Suntour XCR34 2CR air fork handles the front with 140mm of travel and a lockout, a 1x9 Shimano CUES U4000 drivetrain is matched to an 11-46 SunRace cassette for a usable spread of gears, and Shimano MT200 hydraulic discs do the stopping. The dropper post fitted as standard is the detail that turns a budget hardtail into something you can push.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTFS 6061 double-butted technoformed aluminium frame with Boost axles, tapered head tube and internal cable routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgressive trail geometry: 64.0° head angle, 76.5° seat angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSR Suntour XCR34 2CR air fork, 140mm travel, lockout and 44mm offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x9 Shimano CUES U4000 drivetrain with SunRace 11-46 cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubeless-ready Comp CC II rims, 25mm internal width, on Shimano Centerlock hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKenda Regolith 29x2.4 tyres, clearance for up to 29x2.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDropper post fitted as standard, 150mm or 170mm travel depending on frame size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgilometer sizing, so you can pick reach to suit your riding style rather than just your height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications::Big Trail 300\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscipline: MTB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Alloy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFront Travel: 140mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheel Size: 29in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame - \u003c\/strong\u003eTFS - 6061 double butted technoformed aluminium, smooth welding, Boost axle standard, tapered head tube, inboard disc mounts, internal cable routing, BSA BB standard, Max tyre size 29 x 2.5\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork - \u003c\/strong\u003eSR Suntour XCR34 2CR; Air; 140mm travel; Tapered; lockout; 44mm fork offset; 29x2.4 max. wheel size\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset - \u003c\/strong\u003eAcros ICR Merida external neck; Upper and lower IPS sealing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Comp TR; aluminium; 35mm diameter; 0 degree rise\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandlebar - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Comp TR II; aluminium; 780mm wide; 35mm rise\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrips - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Comp TR\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Type - \u003c\/strong\u003eHydraulic Disc\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes - \u003c\/strong\u003eFront: Shimano MT200; 2 piston Rear: Shimano MT200; 2 piston\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheels - \u003c\/strong\u003eRims: Merida Comp CC II; 25mm inner rim width; aluminium; tubeless ready Spokes: Black stainless Front Hub: Shimano TC500-B; 110x15mm; 32 spoke; Centerlock Rear Hub: Shimano TC500-HM-B; 148x12mm; 32 spoke; Centerlock\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTyres - \u003c\/strong\u003eFront: Kenda Regolith; 29x2.4; wire Rear: Kenda Regolith; 29x2.4; wire\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Size - \u003c\/strong\u003e29\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeeds - \u003c\/strong\u003e9\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShifters - \u003c\/strong\u003eRear: Shimano CUES U4000\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Derailleur - \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano CUES U4000\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChainset - \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano CUES UT-400-1; 32 teeth; Crank Length: 170mm for all sizes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom Bracket - \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano BB-UN101; 73mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain - \u003c\/strong\u003eKMC xGlide\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCassette - \u003c\/strong\u003eSunRace U9; CS-U980 9AZ; 11-46 teeth; 9 speed\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Comp SL; V-mount\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Post - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Comp TR IV; 34.9mm diameter; in-line; (XShort-Short) - 150mm seat post travel, (Mid-Xlong) 170mm seat post travel\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merida","offers":[{"title":"Silk Anaconda Green (Green) \/ XS","offer_id":58649688342902,"sku":"S165","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silk Anaconda Green (Green) \/ S","offer_id":58649688375670,"sku":"S166","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silk Anaconda Green (Green) \/ M","offer_id":58649688408438,"sku":"S167","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silk Anaconda Green (Green) \/ L","offer_id":58649688441206,"sku":"S168","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silk Anaconda Green (Green) \/ XL","offer_id":58649688473974,"sku":"S169","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/3065\/6691\/files\/big-trail-300-2027-silk-anaconda-green-green-xs-1257619185.jpg?v=1788958401","url":"https:\/\/www.biketart.com\/products\/merida-big-trail-300-2027","provider":"Biketart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
