Merida Big.Nine TFS 29er Aluminium Hardtail Mountain Bike
Conquer the trails with confidence on the Merida Big.Nine TFS 29er, a premium entry-level aluminium hardtail that combines performance, durability, and comfort. Designed for aspiring mountain bikers and trail enthusiasts, this MTB offers a perfect introduction to the world of 29-inch wheels, providing exceptional control, smooth-rolling efficiency, and superior trail capability.
Optimized Frame Geometry for Trail Comfort and Control
Built around Merida’s BIG.NINE TFS III aluminium frame, this bike features a more upright riding position—a rider-friendly geometry that enhances comfort, reduces strain on the lower back, and improves forward visibility on unpredictable terrain. Whether you're navigating rocky climbs or descending tight switchbacks, the bike’s geometry keeps you agile and in control.
100mm Travel Fork with Lockout for Versatile Terrain Handling
Equipped with a SR Suntour XCT30 HLO coil suspension fork, the Big.Nine absorbs bumps and shocks with ease while offering 100 mm of plush travel. The manual lockout allows for efficient climbing and smooth pedaling on flatter terrain, making it adaptable for both trails and commutes.
Triple Chainring Drivetrain – Reliable Gear Range for All Conditions
The Shimano TY301 triple chainset (42-34-24T) combined with an 8-speed Sunrace CSM558AU freewheel delivers a broad 24-speed gear range, ideal for everything from steep climbs to fast descents. Shimano FD-TY700 front and RD-M360 rear derailleurs ensure crisp, consistent shifting performance across varied terrain.
Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes – Confident Stopping Power
Reliable braking is critical in off-road riding, and the Big.Nine delivers with Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, paired with 160mm RT10 rotors front and rear. Whether you're braking on loose gravel, wet mud, or steep downhills, you’ll benefit from responsive, controlled stopping in any condition.
Trail-Ready 29” Wheels & Wide 2.2” Tires
The bike rolls on MERIDA CC 29” double-wall aluminium rims with K1080 29x2.2” tires, offering low rolling resistance and excellent grip. These fast-rolling wheels smooth out trail chatter and obstacles, helping riders maintain momentum while enjoying stability and traction across loose, uneven surfaces.
Quality Components for Long-Term Durability
From the MERIDA CC handlebar and stem setup to the MERIDA Sport comfort saddle and VP VPE-891 pedals, each component is carefully selected for ergonomic support and lasting performance. The Shimano TX505 hubs, FSA bottom bracket, and cartridge bearings further ensure durability and easy maintenance.
