Relentless speed and low weight uphill, paired with trail-hardtail swagger on the descents. The BIG.NINE TR 5000 is ready to push beyond what cross-country hardtails should do.
Merida added a longer travel 120 mm travel RockShox fork, more aggressive high-volume tyres and their own lightweight dropper post to a CF3 carbon frame that features progressive geometry and our AGILOMETER sizing. Add in the precision and benchmark reliability of Shimano's XT 12-speed and you're good to go.
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 comes in carbon and aluminium and features multiple geometry options. The updated 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, with downcountry ready TR options that boost fork travel and add in aggressive tyres and dropper posts. The more relaxed geometry of the BIG.NINE TFS and SPEED offers a more comfortable, upright riding position. Merida's classic hardtails are the backbone of their range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge they could gain 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 'Made in Taiwan' symbolises.
