Cross-country racing is in Merida’s DNA, and the Big Nine 7000 embodies that heritage with cutting-edge performance and refined control. Its CF3 carbon frame strikes the perfect balance between lightweight agility and stiffness, ensuring efficient power transfer on climbs and confident handling on technical descents. The geometry is designed for modern XC racing — stable, fast, and responsive — making it just as capable on competitive circuits as it is on your local trails.
At the front, the Fox 32 SC Performance fork with 100mm of air-sprung travel and a remote lockout keeps the ride smooth and composed, whether you’re tackling rooty singletrack or sprinting uphill. The Shimano Deore Di2 12-speed drivetrain brings crisp, wireless electronic shifting, delivering instant gear changes at the touch of a button and reducing maintenance compared to mechanical setups.
Braking performance comes from Shimano SLX M7100 hydraulic discs, offering reliable control and modulation on every descent. The 29” Merida Expert CC II tubeless-ready wheels are lightweight yet durable, wrapped in Maxxis Rekon Race 2.4” tyres for fast rolling speed and confident traction across mixed terrain.
Comfort and efficiency are enhanced by premium finishing kit, including a carbon FSA SL-K seatpost and Prologo Akero R PAS saddle designed for all-day rides. The frame also includes thoughtful touches like a Merida minitool integrated under the saddle, so you’re always ready for quick adjustments mid-ride.
Built for riders who want uncompromising XC performance, the Big Nine 7000 is a purebred hardtail that rewards every pedal stroke. It’s a bike made for riders who love the thrill of precision, speed, and flow on every trail.
