The Merida Big.Nine 80 in Matt Dark Silver combines sleek looks with high-quality, modern components for optimal off-road riding enjoyment. The lightweight aluminum frame features comfort-oriented TFS geometry that provides a relaxed riding position, minimizing fatigue in the back and arms during long rides. Uneven terrain, roots, and potholes are smoothly absorbed by the RockShox Judy suspension fork with 100 mm of travel, which can easily be locked out for a firm ride on asphalt. The latest Shimano CUES drivetrain with Linkglide technology delivers buttery-smooth shifting and significantly extends the lifespan of the chain and sprockets. Powerful hydraulic Shimano disc brakes ensure reliable, perfectly controllable braking power in wet and muddy conditions. With its fast-rolling 29-inch wheels and convenient mounting points for mudguards and a rack, the Big.Nine 80 is just as suitable for fast laps on local trails as it is for sporty commuting.

The frame is made of high-quality Racelite 61 aluminum, a strong and lightweight alloy that undergoes a special heat treatment for maximum durability and stiffness. Using the Techno Forming System (TFS), the frame tubes are mechanically formed to reduce weight and optimize stiffness around the head tube and bottom bracket. The internal cable routing guides the brake and gear cables neatly through the frame, providing a clean appearance and protecting them from dirt and splashing mud. Shimano Linkglide technology in the drivetrain offers up to three times greater wear resistance than traditional cassettes and chains under high loads. The frame features dedicated F-Mount, C-Mount, and K-Mount mounting points, allowing accessories such as a mudguard set, pannier rack, and K-Mount kickstand to be mounted easily and securely.
