Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Merida Big Trail 500 - MY25 - Mokka Brown

Season:2025

Brand:Merida

Code:P-Q440

The original Big Trail was designed on the back of a napkin when several UK customers and Merida's german R&D team chewed the fat about what would make the perfect UK trail bike.

The resulting bike received rave press reviews and delighted customers worldwide. Since then Merida's R&D team have wowed the mountain bike world winning the coveted MBUK bike of the year in both the trail bike and enduro bike categories.

Features:
  • A steeper seat angle (up from 75.5 to 76.5) puts the rider in an efficient climbing position and shortens the top tube allowing merida to extend the reach meaning the bike doesn't feel too long when you're pedalling in a seated position but provides plenty of stability on rough terrain.
  • The head angle goes from an already progressive 65.5 to 64.0 and when combined with a large 70mm bb drop (up from 66.5mm), gives the feeling of sitting in the bike rather than on it providing plenty of stability and confidence when things get rowdy.
  • The geometry follows the agilometer principles which means most sizes work for most body sizes so riding style can be factored in. If you want to go crazy fast, take the longer size, for agility, take a shorter size.
