The Merida Big.Nine 10K represents the pinnacle of cross-country engineering and pure racing speed. Its revolutionary CF5 carbon frame is among the lightest on the market and converts every pedal stroke directly into explosive acceleration. The Fox 32 Step-Cast Factory fork with its low-friction gold Kashima coating smoothly absorbs bumps and features a handlebar lockout for maximum pedaling efficiency on steep climbs. With the featherlight Shimano XTR 1x12-speed groupset, you can shift with razor-sharp precision, silently and accurately even under maximum load. Hydraulic Shimano XTR disc brakes deliver sensational, finely modulated stopping power with minimal hand effort on fast and technical descents. High-quality carbon wheels provide extremely low rotating mass, allowing the Big.Nine 10K to accelerate effortlessly and race across any course with playful ease.

The frame is built using Merida’s most advanced CF5 carbon lay-up with Nano Matrix technology, resulting in ultra-thin tube walls with exceptionally high impact resistance against flying gravel. The Anti Wrinkle Structure (AWS) creates a perfectly smooth inner surface inside the tubes during production, eliminating excess material and weight. Thanks to the Flex Stay rear triangle concept, the carbon absorbs microvibrations from the terrain, significantly reducing lower-back fatigue. The sleek Wire Port cable routing guides all brake and shifting cables directly through the headset for an aerodynamic cockpit and optimal protection. Boost thru-axles at the front and rear ensure superior lateral stiffness for surgical steering precision in technical corners.
