Product Description
Our start into the world of 27.5" hardtails. The larger wheels combined with the 100 mm suspension fork offer additional comfort and control, and the chosen components help tackle your next off-road adventure.
Entry-level 27.5" wheeled hardtail built around our double butted aluminium frame with a more comfort inspired geometry. The 27.5" wheels help to cover ground efficiently and in perfect control and impress with easy acceleration and nimble riding characteristics. The SR Suntour fork helps to improve the comfort even further, and the broad gear range of the triple chainring Shimano drivetrain let you conquer even the steepest hills with ease.
The 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 almost half a century of bike production and manufacturing. They symbolise the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship 'Made in Taiwan'.

TECHNOLOGIES
RACELITE 61 ALUMINIUM
We use a minimum of 6061 aluminium. The pay back is that it’s possible to make lighter and more advanced frames.We use an additional heat treatmentand double-butted wall thicknessesto produce light and stiff frames.
TFS - TECHNO FORMING SYSTEM
Technoforming is a mechanical forming process, shaping the tubes by usingnegative moulds, at times combinedwith an internal metal core.
F-MOUNT
‘F-Mount’ equipped bikes have integrated fittings for mud guards (some bikesrequire model specific mud guards),making fitting fast and simple.
K-MOUNT
Integrated mount on the chainstay tofit a MERIDA kickstand (or any commercial kickstand).
C-MOUNT
‘C-Mount’ equipped bikes have the fixing points for a rear rack already integrated (some bikes require model specificrear rack), making fitting fast, simpleand reliable.
