Since its launch, the "BIG.TRAIL" has become one of the most successful mountain bikes in Merida's range. Now it is back on the trails in its third generation. Not only the downhill genes of the trail hardtail have been optimized. The Big.Trail should also be easier to ride uphill. A slacker head angle, longer reach and steeper seat angle help here. There is also a slimmer design with a more refined look, plus improved frame protection, which ensures that the bike makes less noise and looks good for longer.

With the R.EX, Rotwild presents its new high-performance e-mountain bike for all-mountain use. Derived from the technology of the World Cup race bike R.EXC, the new bike relies on the same innovations that the "Rotwild Schwalbe Gravity Team" uses in the E-Enduro World Cup to race over the most demanding routes. The R.EX comes with 150 millimetres of rear suspension travel, a new rear triangle concept and is powered by a Shimano EP801 drivetrain and an 820 watt-hour battery. Nevertheless, it is said to be well under the 23-kilogram mark.
