Another feature of the two brands is that the border sizes are staggered. Merida's cars are generally 16 inch and 18 inch, while Giant is 17 inch and 19 inch. There are not many other larger or smaller models. After determining the price, we should first look at the size of the frame rather than the brand. For example, your height 1 m 78. Then you can ride 18 inch Merida. 17 inch giant is too small, 19 inch giant is too big. If riding is not appropriate, you can still ride, but the handling is a bit poor and you are easy to get tired.
Personally, I feel that the quality of Giant is slightly better, and Merida at the same price is more cost-effective.
Another is to look at the brand store around you. It is more convenient to maintain in the future.
