Merida BIG.NINE 3000 III1: Precision & Performance for XC Riding
The BIG.NINE 3000 serves as your ultimate starting point for both grand adventures and competitive cross-country events. It is built around a lightweight CF3 carbon fiber frame, utilizing our advanced AGILOMETER sizing system and progressive geometry, which together provide rapid responsiveness along with surprisingly capable downhill performance and comfort. Bumps are easily managed by the 100 mm travel SR Suntour fork, while the Shimano 12-speed drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes enable you to fully leverage the traction provided by the high-volume 2.4" tires.
Mountain biking is among the most varied and equipment-intensive cycling disciplines. While full suspension bikes offer exceptional ride characteristics, the classic hardtail endures as a pure, effective choice. Our BIG.NINE range, fitted with 29er wheels, comes in both carbon and aluminum, featuring diverse geometry options. The revised CF carbon and LITE aluminum-framed BIG.NINE models present truly modern geometry, providing greater standover clearance and improved handling stability to excel on contemporary race courses. Downcountry-ready TR versions are available for a more aggressive setup, boosting fork travel and including aggressive tires and dropper posts. For a more relaxed posture, the BIG.NINE TFS and SPEED models offer a comfortable, upright riding position. These classic hardtails form the backbone of our collection, embodying the vast experience and knowledge accumulated through over half a century of bicycle manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range perfectly integrates modern frame technology, meticulous attention to detail, and the craftsmanship epitomized by 'Made in Taiwan'.
