The Merida Big.Nine TR 5000 in a stylish sand color combines the climbing efficiency of a cross-country racer with the playful control of a modern trail bike. The advanced CF3 carbon frame ensures direct power transfer with every pedal stroke while simultaneously absorbing harsh impacts from the terrain. The RockShox Judy Gold air-sprung fork with 120 mm of travel offers noticeably more forgiveness on rough sections, rocks, and steep depressions. Thanks to the Shimano Deore/XT 1x12-speed drivetrain, you always have the right gear at hand and enjoy quiet, trouble-free shifting across varied terrain. Hydraulic Shimano disc brakes provide reliable, well-modulated deceleration in all weather conditions. The standard dropper post allows you to lower the saddle in a fraction of a second for optimal balance and freedom of movement during technical descents.

The frame is made from Merida’s high-strength CF3 carbon with Nano Matrix resin reinforcement, creating an extremely stiff and durable package that can withstand trail impacts. The progressive TR geometry uses a slacker head angle and a longer wheelbase to ensure maximum composure and stability at high speeds. Thanks to the Flex Stay construction in the seatstays, small impacts are effectively damped without compromising pedaling stiffness around the bottom bracket. The Wire Port cable-routing system guides all cables through the headset cover directly into the frame for a clean, uncluttered cockpit and minimal wear. The Boost standard significantly increases the spoke angle of the wheels, resulting in stiffer wheels and sharper cornering response.
