Merida Big Nine 3000 III1 bike

Whether you want to tackle epic rides or cross-country races, the BIG.NINE 3000 is the perfect starting point. With a lightweight CF3 carbon fibre frame using the AGILOMETER sizing system and progressive geometry, it combines lightning-fast reactions with downhill capabilities and comfort you would never expect. The SR Suntour fork with 100mm travel tames bumps with ease, while the Shimano 12-speed drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes let you make the most of the grip of the high-volume 2.4" tyres. Mountain biking is one of the most varied cycling disciplines and probably the most demanding in terms of equipment. While semi-mountain bikes offer amazing riding characteristics, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. The BIG.NINE range equipped with 29" wheels is available in carbon and aluminium and features multiple geometry options. The upgraded BIG.NINE carbon CF and aluminium LITE frames offer truly modern geometry with more room to manoeuvre and stability to better cope with today's tough race tracks, with downcountry-ready TR options that increase fork travel and add aggressive tyres and telescopic seatposts. The more relaxed geometry of BIG.NINE TFS and SPEED offers a more comfortable and upright riding position. The classic hardtails are the backbone of the range and show the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge that we have been able to acquire over almost half a century of producing and manufacturing bicycles. The BIG.NINE range symbolises the symbiosis of modern frame technology, attention to detail and 'Made in Taiwan' craftsmanship.
