Merida Big Seven 15 Hardtail Mountain Bike Blue/Black

Merida's Big Seven and Big Nine models are a testament to their nearly half - century of bike - making expertise. The Big Seven 15 is a gem for entry - level mountain bikers and recreational riders on a budget. It offers an unbeatable price - to - spec ratio. The latest aluminium frame has sleek tube shapes and a relaxed geometry, thanks to a shorter top tube and a higher head tube. This gives you a comfortable, upright riding position and better trail visibility. The 27.5' wheels are incredibly nimble. The 100m travel SR Suntour fork boosts comfort, while the Shimano Tourney 3x8 speed drivetrain provides a wide gear range, so you can easily climb steep hills. And when it's time to descend, hydraulic disc brakes offer reliable stopping power in all conditions.

Using this Merida Big Seven 15 mountain bike is a breeze. Before riding, make sure the seat and handlebars are adjusted to your comfort. When starting your ride, shift through the Shimano Tourney gears to find the right one for your speed and the terrain. For uphill sections, use lower gears to make pedaling easier. When going downhill, rely on the hydraulic disc brakes to control your speed. As for maintenance, keep the chain clean and lubricated regularly to ensure smooth gear shifts. Check the tire pressure before each ride to maintain good traction. If you notice any issues with the fork or brakes, it's best to take it to a professional bike mechanic for inspection and repair. Also, store your bike in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.
