The Merida Big.Nine TR Limited in the refined Silk Sparkling Gold color is designed as the most versatile hardtail in the entire line-up. The high-quality aluminum frame combines low weight with progressive trail geometry, resulting in a stable wheelbase and razor-sharp handling at high speeds. The smooth air-sprung fork with 120 mm of travel effortlessly absorbs bumps, rocks, and roots, offering noticeably more compliance than traditional cross-country forks. With the reliable Shimano Deore/XT 1x12-speed drivetrain, you can shift quickly and quietly under heavy load across a wide climbing range. Hydraulic Shimano disc brakes provide consistent, finely modulated braking power in both wet and dry trail conditions. Thanks to the integrated dropper post, you can lower the saddle instantly with a press of the handlebar remote for optimal balance and freedom of movement on steep, technical descents.

The frame is constructed from high-quality Prolite 66 Triple Butted aluminum, with the tube walls extensively butted to minimize weight without compromising structural stiffness. Thanks to the advanced Hydroforming System (HFS), the frame tubes are shaped under high hydraulic pressure for superior stiffness around the bottom bracket and head tube. The thoughtfully designed Wire Port integration system routes the brake and shift cables directly inside through the headset cover, creating an aerodynamic cockpit and protecting against splashing mud and stone chips. The tapered X-Taper head tube provides optimal stiffness at the front for highly direct steering response during aggressive cornering. In addition, the Boost thru-axles at the front and rear provide a wider spoke base and a noticeably stiffer wheelset for maximum control under heavy loads.
