Merida BIG.NINE 700 III1 (SILK GUNMETAL GREY BLACK)

The BIG.NINE 700 III1 is a cross-country bike that's prepared for competition without breaking the bank. This capable machine features our premium LITE aluminum frame, offering exceptional comfort and control thanks to high-volume tires and generous clearance. Its progressive geometry and AGILOMETER sizing inspire new levels of confidence. Equipped with a 100mm travel Manitou fork with lockout, a Shimano 12-speed drivetrain, and potent hydraulic brakes, it's engineered to conquer any trail, whether in a race or for pure adventure.

Mountain biking stands as one of the most varied cycling disciplines, and arguably the most demanding in terms of equipment. While full suspension bikes offer impressive ride characteristics, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. Our 29er wheel-equipped BIG.NINE range is available in carbon and aluminum, providing multiple geometry options. The updated CF carbon and LITE aluminum-framed BIG.NINE models feature truly modern geometry with increased standover clearance and enhanced handling stability to better manage today's challenging race tracks. For a more aggressive setup, downcountry-ready TR options boost fork travel and include aggressive tires and dropper posts. The more relaxed geometry of the BIG.NINE TFS and SPEED offers a comfortable, upright riding position. These classic hardtails are the backbone of our range, showcasing the extensive experience and knowledge accumulated over half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range embodies the perfect synergy of modern frame technology, meticulous attention to detail, and the craftsmanship 'Made in Taiwan' symbolizes.
