Blending comfort, control, and trail-ready capability, the MERIDA BIG.NINE SPEED is the ideal entry into the dynamic world of 29er hardtail mountain biking. Purpose-built for aspiring trail riders and weekend adventurers, this bike offers modern frame geometry, durable components, and big-wheel efficiency—delivering a ride that's smooth, confidence-inspiring, and ready for off-road exploration.
Key Highlights:
Progressive 29er Geometry:
The BIG.NINE SPEED is engineered around a double-butted MAT aluminum frame, offering a stable, forgiving ride for newer riders or those seeking a more upright and relaxed position. Its geometry is optimized for balance and control, perfect for light trail duties and off-road fitness rides.Large Wheel Advantage:
The 29-inch wheels glide over roots, rocks, and rough terrain more smoothly than smaller wheels, providing enhanced momentum and better rollover ability. Paired with MERIDA K1080 29x2.2” wire-bead tires, you gain both grip and comfort on a variety of surfaces.Suspension for Control:
The SR Suntour XCT30 coil fork with 100 mm travel helps absorb trail shocks and improves front-end traction, giving riders a more composed ride over rough ground.Reliable Shimano 3x8 Drivetrain:
With a Shimano TY301 triple crankset and Sunrace 8-speed cassette, this setup offers a wide range of gears for steep climbs and fast flats. Shifting is smooth and predictable via the Shimano ST-EF505 shifters.Hydraulic Disc Brakes for Safety:
Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes provide consistent stopping power in wet or dry conditions, giving you better control when descending or maneuvering in technical sections.Thoughtfully Selected Components:
Equipped with MERIDA CC components, a comfort-focused saddle, and FSA cartridge bearing bottom bracket, the BIG.NINE SPEED is built to handle rugged use while keeping the rider comfortable and in control.
