Merida BIG.NINE 7000 – Pure XC Power with Carbon Precision
When only the best will do for your cross-country or marathon rides, the Merida BIG.NINE 7000 steps in as your ultimate race-bred weapon. Crafted around a full CF3 carbon frame and equipped with elite components including a RockShox SID SL Select fork, Shimano XT drivetrain and brakes, and Reynolds carbon wheels, the BIG.NINE 7000 blends race-focused stiffness with endurance-level compliance. It’s a hardtail built for podium chasers and relentless explorers alike.
Racing-Grade CF3 Carbon Frame
At the heart of the BIG.NINE 7000 is the ultra-light CF3 carbon frame, meticulously engineered to offer maximum power transfer while absorbing trail chatter for long-distance comfort. Its racing geometry gives you an aggressive, low-profile stance perfect for XC circuits and marathon stages. The carbon MERIDA TEAM seat post works in harmony with the frame to provide compliance without sacrificing responsiveness.
RockShox SID SL Select – Suspension You Can Trust
The bike’s front end is tamed by the legendary RockShox SID SL Select fork, offering 100 mm of finely tuned travel. Designed specifically for elite XC racers, this fork is known for its lightweight chassis, responsive damping, and race-ready lockout. Whether you're navigating tight singletrack or climbing fire roads, the SID SL is your ticket to precision handling.
Shimano XT – The Benchmark for Reliability
Every shift, every stop – handled with XT-level authority. The Shimano XT M8100 drivetrain delivers seamless gear changes across a wide range, while the Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes and RT-MT800 rotors give you absolute stopping power and modulation. From steep descents to high-speed sprints, the BIG.NINE 7000 stays under control.
Reynolds TR Carbon Wheelset – Race Light, Ride Fast
Rolling on Reynolds TR 309/289 XC carbon wheels, the BIG.NINE 7000 feels lightning-fast and brutally efficient. These high-performance wheels are optimized for XC racing, featuring wide internal widths and outstanding lateral stiffness. Paired with Maxxis Ikon tyres, they deliver supreme traction and rolling speed over everything from loose dirt to hardpack.
Expert-Level Cockpit & Finishing Kit
The MERIDA EXPERT CC handlebar and stem, MERIDA TEAM CC grips, and MERIDA EXPERT SL saddle complete the elite-level spec. Every contact point has been refined to ensure top-tier comfort and control, making this hardtail a true extension of the rider’s intent.
