Why Merida Bikes Are a Top Choice

With hydraulic disc brakes, an easy-to-use single ring drivetrain, our latest TFS aluminium frame and a trail-ready 120 mm travel fork, the BIG.NINE 20 is ready to ride. Whether you need a versatile bike for weekend trail fun or a rugged way to get about, the smooth-rolling 29" wheels and updated, confidence-inspiring geometry will have you covered.

When it comes to the demanding world of cross-country mountain biking, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. 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.
