The Merida Big.Nine 3000 in striking neon green makes high-performance carbon accessible to every dedicated cross-country rider. The lightweight CF3 carbon chassis delivers instant acceleration with every pedal stroke and offers significantly more comfort than a traditional aluminum frame. The lightweight Manitou Markhor Comp air-sprung fork with 100 mm of travel effortlessly smooths out bumps and can be locked out directly from the handlebar during steep climbs. With the reliable Shimano Deore 1x12-speed groupset, you can shift smoothly and quietly across a wide range of gears. Powerful hydraulic Shimano disc brakes guarantee consistent, safe braking performance in both dry and wet, muddy conditions. The fast-rolling 29-inch wheels with Maxxis Ikon tires provide excellent traction and easily maintain their speed on fast forest trails.

The frame is made from Merida’s proven CF3 carbon with Nano Matrix technology, in which special nanoparticles reinforce the resin matrix for superior resistance to impacts and stone chips. The Anti Wrinkle Structure (AWS) creates a perfectly smooth inner surface inside the tubes during the baking process, reducing weight and increasing structural strength. The Flex Stay rear triangle harnesses the natural resilience of carbon fibers to absorb vibrations from the rear wheel for noticeably greater riding comfort. Internal cable routing guides all cables neatly through the frame, providing a tidy appearance and protection against dirt and moisture. Thanks to the tapered X-Taper head tube and Boost thru-axles, you benefit from excellent steering precision and stability under hard braking.
