A Capable 29er Hardtail for Off-Road and Everyday Adventures

The Merida BIG.NINE 100 is a reliable aluminium 29er hardtail that blends modern geometry with durable components, making it ideal for both trail riding and urban exploration. With its 100 mm Suntour air suspension fork, fast-rolling 29-inch wheels, and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, it delivers the control, comfort, and stopping power you need on varied terrain.

Unlike single-chainring MTB setups, the double chainset of the BIG.NINE 100 provides a broad gear range, making it equally at home on long climbs, fast flats, or quick rides through the city. The slightly upright geometry reduces strain on your lower back while improving visibility, giving you confidence whether navigating rough trails or weaving through traffic.
