MERIDA BIG.NINE LIMITED – Advanced Performance. Pure Hardtail DNA.

The MERIDA BIG.NINE LIMITED is engineered for riders who demand a blend of lightweight efficiency, precision handling, and versatile performance—whether you're chasing podiums or exploring mountain trails. This premium aluminum hardtail draws its geometry and design philosophy directly from its carbon siblings in the BIG.NINE series, making it the perfect launchpad for XC and marathon racing ambitions.

Key Features:

• Race-Ready Geometry:
  Derived from our carbon race platforms, the BIG.NINE LIMITED features a lightweight triple-butted aluminum frame (BIG.NINE LITE) built with a geometry tuned for aggressive cross-country and long-distance events. It offers the stiffness and responsiveness needed for quick accelerations and sharp climbs, without compromising comfort on technical terrain.

• Suspension & Control:
  The bike is equipped with a Manitou Markhor Comp air fork offering excellent small bump sensitivity and adjustability, paired with Tektro M275 hydraulic disc brakes and Shimano RT10 rotors for consistent stopping power under all conditions.

• Drivetrain Simplicity with Wide Range:
  Featuring a Shimano Deore M5100 1x11 drivetrain, the BIG.NINE LIMITED delivers smooth, reliable shifting across a broad gear range. The Shadow+ rear derailleur design reduces chain slap and keeps your ride quiet and efficient even on rough trails.

• Trail-Optimized Components:
  Outfitted with a MERIDA EXPERT cockpit and MERIDA COMP components, this bike provides excellent ergonomics and durability. A KMC X11 chain and Shimano MT500-PA pressfit bottom bracket ensure efficient power transfer and drivetrain longevity.

• High-Performance Wheelset:
  The bike rolls on MERIDA COMP CC rims laced to Shimano MT400-B hubs, wrapped in Maxxis Ikon tyres—the gold standard for XC performance—ensuring superior traction and low rolling resistance.
