The Merida Big.Nine 600 in the fresh, eye-catching Blue/White color scheme combines an advanced aluminium frame with premium components for pure speed and riding enjoyment. The high-quality TFS aluminium frame is designed with a sporty cross-country geometry that ensures efficient power transfer with every pedal stroke and precise handling through twisty sections. The lightweight Manitou Markhor air-sprung fork with 100 mm of travel effortlessly smooths out bumps, roots, and rocks, and thanks to the convenient remote lockout on the handlebar, it can be locked out in an instant during steep climbs or sprints. With the complete Shimano Deore 1x12-speed drivetrain, you can shift smoothly, quickly, and precisely under full load across a wide gear range. Hydraulic Shimano disc brakes deliver exceptional, easy-to-modulate stopping power in all weather and trail conditions. Thanks to the lightweight 29-inch wheels with fast-rolling Maxxis Ikon tyres, you can easily maintain high speed on both sandy forest trails and hardpack gravel sections.

The frame is made of high-quality Prolite 66 Triple Butted aluminium, resulting in exceptionally lightweight tubes with extra wall thickness at crucial stress points for maximum stiffness and durability. The advanced Hydroforming System (HFS) shapes the frame tubes under high hydraulic pressure for optimal stiffness around the bottom bracket and head tube. The tapered X-Taper head tube provides superior stiffness at the front, resulting in razor-sharp steering precision and stability under hard braking. Internal cable routing keeps the brake hoses and gear cables protected inside the frame, minimizing wear and giving the bike a sleek appearance. In addition, the thoughtfully designed Smooth Welding welds provide an extremely clean finish without compromising frame strength.
