The riding position puts less strain on the lower back and also improves the visibility of what lies ahead. A 100 mm suspension fork from SR Suntour and hydraulic disc brakes improve comfort and control even further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe alternative to our BIG.NINE 29er hardtails for riders who prefer the smaller 27.5\" wheels. The latest aluminium frame generation of our BIG.SEVEN TFS and SPEED mountain bikes featuring slim tube shapes create a new look and a more relaxed geometry. A shorter top tube and a higher head tube offering a more upright riding position and enhanced trail visibility. Similarly to our 29er wheeled BIG.NINE range, our classic BIG.SEVEN hardtails are the backbone of our range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge we could gain in over half a century of bike production and manufacturing. They represent the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship 'Made in Taiwan' symbolises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble butted aluminium frame with 27.5\" wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess aggressive and more upright geometry for maximum control and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSR Suntour 100 mm travel suspension fork with lockout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano 8-speed drivetrain with double chainring setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydraulic disc brakesInternal cable routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMerida 2025 Big Seven 20\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour: Black\u003cbr\u003eFrame: BIG.SEVEN TFS IV; MAT aluminium; 27.5x2.25\" max.
