With its fiery Red / Orange color scheme, the Merida Big.Nine 60 makes an energetic impression on every forest trail. The lightweight aluminum frame is designed with relaxed geometry, providing a stable riding position and reducing strain on your back and shoulders during long rides. Uneven surfaces, tree roots, and potholes are effectively absorbed by the RockShox Judy suspension fork with 100 mm of travel, which can easily be locked out on flat sections and asphalt. The proven Shimano 2x9-speed drivetrain offers a wide gear range to tackle both steep climbs and fast flat sections with ease. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide safe, reliable, and finely controllable braking power in all weather conditions. The large 29-inch wheels offer plenty of grip, roll smoothly over obstacles, and maintain speed with ease, making this hardtail ideal for both sporty forest trails and everyday use.

The frame of the Big.Nine 60 is constructed from high-quality Racelite 61 aluminum, a proven and durable alloy that is heat-treated for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. The Techno Forming System (TFS) mechanically shapes the frame tubes for maximum stiffness around the bottom bracket and head tube. Internal cable routing guides the shift and brake cables neatly through the down tube, protecting them from dirt, mud, and flying stones. The frame features specific F-Mount, C-Mount, and K-Mount mounting points, allowing fenders, a rear rack, and a K-Mount kickstand to be attached easily and securely. The well-considered 29er geometry combines a stable wheelbase with a low standover height for optimal handling and confidence on technical XC trails.
