{"product_id":"merida-big-nine-400-bike-1","title":"Merida Big Nine 400 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe latest generation aluminium frame has updated geometry for safer off-road riding, combined with a high-quality 120 mm RockShox Judy fork for guaranteed fun on the trail. The 29‘ wheels with high-volume 2.4’ Maxxis tyres offer a smooth ride, while the Shimano CUES drivetrain with single chainring provides a wide range of gears with simple and secure adjustment. Hydraulic disc brakes ensure effective braking in all conditions.\u003cbr\u003eIn the demanding world of cross country, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for tackling races. The BIG.NINE range with 29\" wheels includes carbon frames and two aluminium versions, offering an experience to suit every budget. The latest CF carbon and LITE aluminium frames feature modern geometries with increased ground clearance and riding stability, ideal for the most demanding race courses. There are also “downcountry” versions with longer forks, aggressive tyres and dropper seatposts. For beginners, the updated BIG.NINE TFS offers a more relaxed geometry and versatile, affordable spec, also available in the BIG.SEVEN TFS version with 27.5\" wheels, designed for riders with a smaller frame. Classic XC hardtail frames are the backbone of the range and represent the experience and excellence that distinguish the brand, the result of over half a century of Taiwanese production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated TFS aluminium frame with clearance for 2.4\" tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated geometry for confident off-road handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockShox Judy Gold air-sprung suspension fork with 120 mm travel and lockout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano hydraulic disc brakes and CUES 1x11-speed drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERIDA COMP CC 29‘ wheelset and 2.4’ Maxxis tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERIDA finishing kit including size-tuned handlebars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTech spec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: BIG.NINE TFS V, material: aluminium, 29 wheel size, 135x9mm axle standard, BSA bottom bracket standard, smooth welding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame size: S, M, L, XL, XXL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork: Rock Shox Judy Gold RL, Air, 120mm suspension travel, tapered, lockout, 51mm fork offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrakes: Shimano M4100, 2 pistons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscs: Shimano RT10, 180mm, 160mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar: MERIDA EXPERT CC, material: aluminium, 10mm rise, S: 720mm width, M\/L: 740mm width, XL\/XXL: 760mm width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem: MERIDA COMP CC, material: aluminium, 31.8mm diameter, 7° stem angle, S: 50mm, M-L: 60mm, XL-XXL: 70mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrips: MERIDA COMP TR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShifter: Shimano CUES U6000, GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShifters: Shimano SL-MT500-IL \/ Shimano CUES U6000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost: MERIDA COMP TR IV, 30.9mm diameter, 0mm setback, S: 125mm travel seatpost - M\/L: 150mm travel seatpost - XL\/XXL 175mm travel seatpost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost clamp: MERIDA COMP QR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: MERIDA COMP SL, V-mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain: KMC xGlide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGear set: SunRace 10-50t ZX11 sprockets, CS-UX700 EA5, 10-50 teeth, 11 speed, Linkglide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrankset: Shimano CUES U6000, 32 teeth, 170mm for all sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom bracket: Shimano MT500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRims: MERIDA COMP CC II, 25mm inner width, material: aluminium, tubeless ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHubs: Shimano QC300 \/ Shimano QC300-HM, 100x9mm width front hub, 32 spoke holes, Centre lock, 135x9mm width rear hub, 32 spoke holes, Centre lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpokes: Black stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTyres: Maxxis Rekon Race, 29x2.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer's notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e depending on component availability, specifications are subject to change without notice.
