Merida eBig Tour 400 EQ III2 2024

Combining urban practicality with the desire to explore is no easy feat, but eBIG.TOUR 400 EQ does just that, with the new Shimano EP6 motor unit giving you smooth but powerful assistance whenever you need it. Large-volume tires, a shock-absorbing fork and mountain bike-inspired geometry offer capable and confident handling whenever you want an adventure, but the low-passing frame design with integrated 630 Wh battery and generous standard equipment, including fenders and lighting, meet your daily needs.

Are practicality and enthusiasm mutually exclusive? We don't think so, and neither does the eBIG.TOUR. It's a reliable daily companion to get to work, and it's just as happy to accompany you on big adventures off the beaten path, thanks to a winning combination of mountain bike-inspired geometry and low-passing frame practicality. A powerful, smooth-running Shimano pedal-assist motor is cleanly integrated into the aluminum frame, while a shock-absorbing fork and high-volume tires provide comfort and safety. Add fenders, rack, lighting, wheel lock and standard kickstand, plus long-life 630 or 750 Wh batteries, and you'll realize you have the best of all worlds.

Technologies

Prolite 66 Triple Butted Aluminum
Proven high-end aluminum (6066) is extremely light and strong. Using triple-butted wall thicknesses and hydroforming technology, aluminum tubes can be fine-tuned to provide the best possible stiffness-to-weight ratio.

HFS - Hydro Forming System
Tubes are inserted into negative molds and a hot emulsion of water and oil is forced under pressure, enabling them to form complex shapes.

X-Taper Headtube
The X-Tapered headtube provides space for mounting a tapered fork. Tapered forks offer exceptional stiffness and precision and provide confidence-inspiring steering.

Smooth Welding
Sometimes called "double pass welding," a second pass on the weld gives the frame a clean, organic look. At first glance, you'll be convinced it's carbon.

Internal Cable Routing
Cables are routed through the frame, going in and out through smooth sockets. The bike has a clean look, while the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

Smart Entry
Cables, housings, and brake hoses are tightened under tension to prevent rattling when trails or roads get rough. All inputs are fully interchangeable to handle Di2, hydraulic hoses, brake cables and shifting cable housings, etc.

DI2 Ready
Bicycles/frames with the "Di2 Ready" symbol are prepared for installation of Di2 technology by mounting the battery in the seatpost or inside the fork.

F-Mount
Bikes equipped with F-Mount have integrated fender fittings (some bikes require model-specific fenders), making installation quick and easy.

K-Mount
Integrated mount on the chainstay to mount a MERIDA kickstand (or any commercial kickstand).

C-Mount
Bikes equipped with "C-Mount" have attachment points for a rear rack already built in (some bikes require a model-specific rear rack), making mounting fast, easy and reliable.

Casting Motor Bracket
Sophisticated shape possible only through casting technology, creating an integrated appearance and extremely strong connection between the motor and electric bike frame for improved performance and reliability.

Energy Guard Twist
Twist Lock mechanism located at the top end of the "Energy Guard" battery cover for easy locking and unlocking of the protective inner battery cover.
