E-BIG TOUR 600EQ SILK BLUE/BLACK S 38CM

MOUNTAIN BIKE TREKKING AT ITS BEST 
The eBIG.TOUR EQ combines the best of two worlds in the MERIDA line-up. From the outside a mountain bike but a trekking bike at heart. With a frame based on the eBIG.NINE, a suspension fork and wider 29er MTB tyres, the bike delivers a more comfortable riding feeling than a conventional trekking bike. However, as it comes fully equipped with fenders, carrier and lights, it is ideal for all tasks and duties you normally expect from a trekking bike or hybrid. The heavily bent down top tube offers incredible stand over height for easy mount and dismount. xx

MANY COOKS DON’T SPOIL THE BROTH:
Our young and enthusiastic R&D team, lives, breathes (and not surprisingly) rides bikes…all day. Creating a bike is very much a team effort, where a long list of individuals contribute their specific skill set and ultimately bring it all together at the end. From conceptual planning, via first riding prototypes, integration of colour and graphics into the overall project, refining the pre-production models to the final bike that makes its way to the shop floor of your local MERIDA dealer.  

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY:
Testing, re-testing and testing again are crucial to our game. We are doing everything we can to provide our customers with the most refined and secure product possible. Our in-house testing facilities push our products beyond the industry standards, and we work with the best external test laboratories to be sure that MERIDA bikes will withstand even the most demanding trail, the steepest climb, the heaviest load or the daily gruelling chore.

THERE IS NO ‘I’ IN TEAM:
MERIDA bikes are still very much ‘made by hand’ and that process starts with the many individuals who make up our highly skilled R&D team. From marathon racer to bike packing enthusiast, from track specialist to Enduro lover and from semi-professional road racer to ironman competitor, our team does not only bring experience and knowledge in their corresponding fields to work in the morning but also the undisputed love for everything bike, and the unstoppable desire to make ever better bikes. Our team accompanies the birth of a new bike from the conceptual beginning, all the way through the development stages and onto the production process. But the development does not stop there, as small improvements and upgrades are constantly looked at and integrated when possible.

MORE POWER AND RANGE - Shimano's EP8 motor offers a perfectly balanced power delivery with up to 85 Nm and has further improved on size, weight, noise and motor drag. The new 630 Wh battery is perfectly integrated into the hydroformed down tube and delivers an impressive range for even longer detours home.

GO BIG - The eBIG.TOUR EQ is rolling on 29er wheels which have fantastic ‘rolling over obstacles’ behaviour. As standard, it comes equipped with 2.2" wide tyres which offer plenty of grip and comfort. If no fenders are fitted, the tyres can go up to 2.35" improving the off-road riding characteristics even further.

WATER CARRIER - The eBIG.TOUR EQ frame offers the possibility to fit a water bottle or further accessories like a lock or pump in two different positions. One is on the top of the down tube, while a second is below the top tube. This gives the rider, besides the possibility to mount bottle cages, the option to mount for example a folding-lock or pump bracket. 

SYSTEM WEIGHT - The system weight of a bike is the combined weight of bike, rider and additional luggage. The allowed system weight is 140 kg. As an e-bike is already heavier than a regular bike, and as it also makes it easier to transport larger amounts of luggage, it is imperative to certify a higher overall system weight. All MERIDA e-bikes, as well as all used componentry, go through a rigorous and e-bike specific testing schedule which mimics the higher forces and strains to guarantee the rider the highest level of safety.

GET THE RIGHT TRAVEL - 100 mm up front offers lots of comfort while having plenty of reserves when you choose a more ‘off-road’ route home. Ultimately e-MTBs encourage the rider to go ‘off the beaten track’ whenever possible.
