Merida Big Nine 200

Perfect for your next mountain bike trip

Dual-thickness aluminium frame with an air suspension fork and a reliable Shimano 10-speed single-wheel drive for the perfect combination of comfort and control. The slightly more upright driving position compared to our bolder models puts less strain on the lower back and also improves visibility of what lies ahead. Mountain biking is one of the most varied cycling disciplines and probably the most demanding in terms of equipment. While full suspension bikes offer amazing riding characteristics, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for pedalling.

Technologies

X-TAPER HEADTUBE
The X-Tapered steering tube offers space for a conical fork. Conical forks offer exceptional rigidity and precision, and provide a steering that inspires confidence.

SMOOTH WELDING
Sometimes called "double-pass welding", a second pass on the weld gives the frame a clean and organic look. At first glance, you’ll be convinced it’s carbon.

INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
The cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. The bike looks clean, while the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

DOWN TUBE EXIT
Ensures that cables and internally routed cables cannot move freely and remain easily accessible for maintenance.

RACELITE 61 ALUMINIUM
We use 6061 aluminium. The advantage is that you can make lighter and more advanced frames. We use additional heat treatment and double thickness wall thicknesses to produce light and rigid frames.

TFS - TECHNO FORMING SYSTEM
The technical forming process is a mechanical forming process, which gives shape to tubes using negative moulds, sometimes combined with an internal metal core.

F-MOUNT
Bikes equipped with F-Mount have integrated mudguard fittings (some bikes require model-specific mudguards), making assembly quick and easy.

K-MOUNT
Integrated support on the horizontal sheath to mount a MERIDA tripod (or any commercial tripod).

C-MOUNT
Bikes equipped with "C-Mount" have the attachment points for an already integrated rear rack (some bikes require a specific rear rack for the model), making assembly quick, easy and reliable
