Hi. Does anyone now the price of the 2021 Merida big trail 600(Purple) new or used? And are they actually sold in SA or not? I haven't seen one in SA.

Great Hardtails don`t sell well in SA, I managed to find a Big Nine 5000 which I am super happy with.

Cycle lab has a Big Nine 60 for R13K.

Unless you are dead set on the Merida, then David Mercer could make you a very similar (although much cooler :D) aggressive hardtail frame. In my opinion, they are simply the best steel frames money can but - but they are actually great value and not too expensive -.

Also, depending on how desperate you are to get it, and what frame size you need, I am gonna sell my Mercer hungry monkey (medium) with a 140mm revelation (2 months old), full xt drivetrain, new Lyne bars, Ardent tires that have seen very low mileage, etc... DM me if u interested for full spec, likely gonna be selling in a month or 2...

I dont think it will be sold here, I may be wrong but SA rarely gets the rowdy hardtails.

The bike is quite similar to the Silverback slade trail bike. But the merida has much better components on. What do you think the price of a 2021 used Merida big trail 600(purple one) will be worth in SA at this moment.

I imagine the trail hardtail bikes like the trek roscoe and silverback slade is wanted in areas like cape town with the trails to handle those bikes. What do you think the price of a 2021 used Merida big trail 600 will be worth in SA at this moment.

Hi. Thanks for the info. I am actually not looking for a bike. I actually have a 2021 Merida big trail 600 medium , but searching around for a number to what this bike is worth here. Bike was bought in the UK and shipped to SA. What price would you put on such a bike?

We don't have the trails to ride this bike in Hermanus. Cape town area is where this bike needs to be. 

Here is the purple machine 😎IMG-20220414-WA0003.jpg.da415d060b7406984e0e780441d29958.jpg

That thing is beautiful.

I'd look at maybe getting lighter wheels and faster rolling tires. It will be planted and stable and still be efficient. 

Otherwise buy my Titan Cypher frame, build the parts across and sell the frame.....

I'll rather sell the bike as is. I have a xc bike that is perfect for the trails near me. This bike deserves some decent trails

Bike was bought in the UK and shipped to SA. As far as I know this specific model was never sold on SA except for the 400 and 500, which has lower grade parts on.
