Merida Big.Nine 29er Hardtail MTB | Versatile Gearing & Proven Trail Reliability
Built on half a century of frame-building expertise, Merida's aluminium hardtails represent the brand's true heartland, delivering bombproof reliability for off-road riders.
This 29er hardtail is engineered for speed, stability, and high rolling efficiency, making it the perfect choice for riders who want to carry momentum on the trail or handle everyday adventures with confidence.
 
At its core is a sophisticated TFS aluminium frame packed with modern technology. It features full internal cable routing to keep your setup clean and out of the elements, a tapered headtube that offers excellent front-end stiffness and future fork upgrade potential, and inboard disc brake mounts that protect the caliper while maximizing stopping power. Up front, a smooth SR Suntour suspension fork absorbs trail imperfections, roots, and rocks, giving you a smooth, controlled ride.
 
To ensure long-term durability and slick performance, Merida has loaded this model with as much Shimano componentry as possible. It runs a dependable 2 x 8 Shimano drivetrain paired with an authentic Shimano chainset, cassette, and hubs, providing a wide gear range that helps you spin up steep climbs and power along the flats. When it is time to drop your speed, powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes offer effortless, one-finger control and consistent stopping performance in all weather conditions. Rolling on fast 29" wheels, this machine is tuned to deliver maximum speed, tracking, and efficiency on the open trail.
