Should you prefer the slightly more minimalist approach of a double chainring setup over a triple while still looking for a broad gear range, then the BIG.NINE 60 (2x) might be the right one for you. It combines a double butted aluminium frame with a more comfort-focused geometry providing you with the perfect hardtail for long off-road outings and fast blasts through the urban jungle. A 100 mm suspension fork from RockShox and hydraulic disc brakes improve comfort and control even further.
Mountain biking is one of the most varied cycling disciplines and probably the most demanding when it comes to equipment. While full suspension bikes offer amazing riding characteristics, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. Our 29er wheel equipped BIG.NINE range comes in carbon and aluminium and features multiple geometry options. The carbon and LITE framed BIG.NINE, with its racing geometry, is an ideal companion on XC and marathon race tracks whilst the more relaxed geometry of the BIG.NINE TFS and SPEED offers a more comfortable, upright riding position. Our classic hardtails are the backbone of our range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge we could gain in almost half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range symbolises the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship 'Made in Taiwan'.
The MERIDA bicycle frames have bosses and fixture points to attach a water bottle cage, mudguards , a rear rack and a kickstand, making it super versatile if and when it gets used as a commuter or more urban-focused bike.
