Returns and refunds

If you are unhappy with your item, please let us know. Our Returns Policy gives you 30 days to return or exchange an item bought with a valid receipt. If 30 days have gone by since your purchase, we cannot offer you a refund or exchange.To be eligible for a refund or exchange, goods must be returned in a re-saleable condition. That means your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. The item must be in the original packaging and returned with any accessories, labels and “free gifts” or bonus items.

To complete your refund or exchange, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.

Under the Consumer Rights Act of 2015 you have an early right to reject goods that are unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described, and get a full refund.

But this right is limited to 30 days from the date you took ownership of the goods (this could be the date of purchase or the date the goods were delivered to you - whichever is later).

After the initial 30 days, you can't demand a full refund in the first instance, but you still have the right to a repair or replacement.

How to return your item(s):

  1. Put your unused, labelled item for return back in its original packaging.
  2. Fill in a Returns Form and include this with the item you are returning in a parcel.

Guidelines For The Best Experience

Each returned item should be in it’s original packaging with the manufacturer’s labels attached. Please do not tape or attach labels directly to the retail packaging.

Retail store purchases should be returned to the original place of purchase. If this is not possible then follow our website returns policy and include proof of purchase.

We reserve the right to reject the return of goods which are not returned in accordance with our Returns Policy and we may request that you pay for the shipping of such goods back to you. Our returns policy does not affect your statutory rights.

A deduction will be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which a customer can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Once we receive your goods, we will inspect and process them within 24hrs. Refunds will automatically be issued to the same payment method used to purchase the goods. As soon as your return has been processed by our team we will email you to let you know. In the unlikely event that you don’t receive this email within 10 days of posting your parcel to us, please get in touch with our Customer Service Team through our Contact us page or by calling 01977 67999.

If your purchase isn’t everything you expected it to be and you wish to exchange an item the simplest and quickest thing to do is place a brand new order for your new item and return the old one to us for a full refund.

Goods that cannot be returned:

There are some goods you can’t return if you simply change your mind, including:

  • CDs, DVDs or software if you’ve broken the seal on the wrapping

Merida Big Seven 40 Mountain Bike in Black/Red

Season:2026

Brand:Merida

Code:P-R423

Get started on your mountain bike journey. The BIG.SEVEN 40 uses Merida's latest aluminium frame with agile 27.5" wheels to give a tough but lightweight base for high-value, high-performance kit. With updated geometry and a 120 mm air-sprung fork, it's a confident off-road machine that packs in versatility for everyday use, while Shimano's CUES 1x9-speed drivetrain and the hydraulic disc brakes are simple but effective.

When it comes to the demanding world of cross-country mountain biking, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. The 29er wheel equipped BIG.NINE range comes with the choice of carbon or two different aluminium frames to deliver a ride for all budgets. The latest CF carbon and LITE aluminium framed BIG.NINE offer truly modern geometry with increased standover clearance and handling stability to better deal with the tough race tracks of today. They also have downcountry ready TR options that boost fork travel and add in aggressive tyres and dropper posts. For riders starting out, the updated BIG.NINE TFS offers more relaxed geometry and builds that deliver great value and versatility on or off the trail, with BIG.SEVEN TFS models using 27.5" wheels to deliver size for shorter riders. Merida's classic XC hardtails are the backbone of their range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge they have gained in over half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range represents the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship that 'Made in Taiwan' stands for.

Features:

  • Updated TFS aluminium frame with clearance for 2.4" tyres
  • Updated geometry for confident off-road handling
  • X-Fusion air-sprung suspension fork with 120 mm travel and lockout
  • Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and CUES 1x9-speed drivetrain
  • MERIDA COMP CC 27.5" wheelset and 2.4" tyres
  • MERIDA finishing kit including size-tuned handlebars

Bikes are professionally built by trained technicians to ensure optimal performance, safety, and comfort for each customer. Every component is carefully assembled and adjusted to meet the rider’s specific needs and preferences.

Our convenient man-in-van delivery service brings your professionally built bike straight to your doorstep. A dedicated technician ensures it arrives fully assembled, ready to ride, and adjusted to your specifications.
