Merida’s Big Nine range symbolises the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship. The Big Nine Limited is a lightweight aluminium hardtail that sits firmly in the Cross Country Race segment, but is equally ready for race action as it is for your next more leisurely off-road adventure. A versatile speed machine with the same marathon focused geometry as its carbon relatives, the limited could be the perfect bike for you if you start developing the racing bug. The race-proven single chainring Shimano Deore M5100 11-speed drivetrain offers a broad gear range while keeping things light and simple. The 100mm air suspended Manitou Markhor fork in combination with reliable hydraulic disc brakes keeps things comfortable and controlled. Fast rolling 29er wheels with Merida Comp rims and Shimano MT400-B hubs roll on Maxxis Ikon 2.2" tyres chosen for their versatility that offers predictable handling in a broad range of trail conditions.
