Merida Big.Nine 29er Hardtail MTB | Bombproof Trail Performance & Efficiency
Backed by over 50 years of manufacturing expertise, Merida's legendary line of aluminium hardtails is engineered to deliver bombproof reliability and pure off-road fun. Following progressive mountain bike trends, this 29er hardtail features a longer reach paired with a shorter stem to give you sharp, responsive handling.
 
The trail-ready geometry incorporates a steeper seat angle for efficient climbing and a slacker head angle to give you absolute confidence on rugged descents, all without compromising everyday usability.
 
At its core is a sophisticated, updated TFS aluminium frame that strikes the ultimate balance between trail capability and versatility. Packed with premium details, it offers full internal cable routing for a clean look, inboard disc brake mounts that keep the caliper protected while maximizing stopping power, and a tapered headtube ready for future fork upgrades. It is even dropper-post ready for when you decide to take on more technical terrain. Up front, a high-performance 100mm SR Suntour suspension fork smooths out rough terrain, roots, and rocks with ease.
 
Powering your sessions is a dependable 2 x 7 Shimano drivetrain, complete with matching Shimano hubs, cassette, and chainset for ultra-reliable shifting across varied topography. When it is time to slow things down, Shimano mechanical disc brakes provide consistent, weather-proof stopping power. Rolling on fast, efficient 29" wheels wrapped in high-traction Kenda tyres, this machine is size-tuned to maximize rolling speed and outright efficiency on every singletrack session.
