The Merida Big.Nine 400 in the striking two-tone Silk Teal/Gunmetal Grey color scheme combines a modern racing look with advanced trail capabilities. Its high-quality aluminum frame features a sporty, agile geometry that delivers direct power transfer and precise handling on technical tracks. Thanks to the air-sprung front fork with 100 mm of travel, you can perfectly adjust the damping to your body weight, smoothly filtering out roots, rocks, and hard impacts. The modern 1x drivetrain offers a wide range of gears and enables fast, intuitive shifting without the rattling of a front derailleur. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide impressive, consistently controllable stopping power in both dry sandy hollows and wet muddy sections. The lightweight, strong 29-inch wheels with Maxxis Rekon tires roll effortlessly over obstacles and easily maintain their speed, making this hardtail the ideal partner for intense marathons and sporty forest trails.

The frame is made of high-quality Racelite 61 aluminum, which combines maximum stiffness with low weight thanks to advanced heat treatments. Using the Techno Forming System (TFS), the tubes are mechanically formed to provide additional reinforcement around the bottom bracket and tapered head tube. Internal cable routing ensures that brake and gear cables run neatly through the down tube, providing a clean finish and long-lasting protection against dirt and mud. The tapered X-Taper head tube creates an exceptionally stiff front end, resulting in responsive handling and greater stability during hard braking. In addition, the frame is equipped with thoughtfully designed mounting points for mudguards, a pannier rack, and a K-Mount kickstand, significantly increasing its versatility for everyday use.
