Merida 2026 Big Nine TR 700
Downcountry fun without the big price tag. The BIG.NINE TR 700 pairs our LITE aluminium frame with a longer travel 120 mm air-sprung fork to deliver serious speed with trail bike-style descending prowess. With fast-rolling 29x2.4" tyres, there's plenty of grip, while a dropper seatpost helps with control when the trail tips downwards. Shimano's durable CUES 1x10-speed drivetrain offers plenty of gears for any climb, while hydraulic disc brakes keep excess speed in check.
When it comes to the demanding world of cross-country mountain biking, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. Our 29er wheel equipped BIG.NINE range comes with the choice of carbon or two different aluminium frames to deliver a ride for all budgets. The latest CF carbon and LITE aluminium framed BIG.NINE offer truly modern geometry with increased standover clearance and handling stability to better deal with the tough race tracks of today. They also have downcountry ready TR options that boost fork travel and add in aggressive tyres and dropper posts. For riders starting out, the updated BIG.NINE TFS offers more relaxed geometry and builds that deliver great value and versatility on or off the trail, with BIG.SEVEN TFS models using 27.5" wheels to deliver a fit for for shorter riders. Our classic XC hardtails are the backbone of our range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge we have gained in over half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range represents the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship that 'Made in Taiwan' stands for.
