Merida’s Big Nine range symbolises the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship. The Big Nine Limited is a lightweight aluminium hardtail that sits firmly in the Cross Country Race segment, but is equally ready for race action as it is for your next more leisurely off-road adventure. A versatile speed machine with the same marathon focused geometry as its carbon relatives, the limited could be the perfect bike for you if you start developing the racing bug. The race-proven single chainring Shimano Deore M5100 11-speed drivetrain offers a broad gear range while keeping things light and simple. The 100mm air suspended Manitou Markhor fork in combination with reliable hydraulic disc brakes keeps things comfortable and controlled. Fast rolling 29er wheels with Merida Comp rims and Shimano MT400-B hubs roll on Maxxis Ikon 2.2" tyres chosen for their versatility that offers predictable handling in a broad range of trail conditions.

Merida Big Nine Bike Sizing Chart

Merida is an international bike brand with its headquarters in Taiwan, the R&D department is based near Stuttgart in Germany. To be based in Germany has historical reasons for MERIDA but the precise location was chosen specifically because the region around Stuttgart is one of the hot spots of the automotive and machine building industry which Germany is famous for and attracts a hugely skilled design and engineer labor force.

The Merida team are more than just highly trained and experienced bicycle creators – they simply love everything ‘bike’. Most of their R&D staff are daily bike commuters while others are serious mountain bikers, who regularly compete in Marathon, Enduro and Downhill competitions, or licensed road racers and even ambitious Ironman triathletes. Get the behind the scenes view of the Merida R&D centre and meet some of their key members of staff in the below video.
