Mountain biking is one of the most varied cycling disciplines and probably the most demanding when it comes to equipment. While full suspension bikes offer amazing riding characteristics, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. Merida’s 29er wheel equipped Big Nine range offers truly modern geometry with increased standover clearance and handling stability to better deal with the tough race tracks of today, with the downcountry ready TR option your can enjoy a boosted fork travel, aggressive tyres and dropper post. Merida’s hardtails are the backbone of their range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge gained in almost half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The Big Nine range symbolizes the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship.
