{"product_id":"merida-big-nine-60-2x-bike-1","title":"Merida Big Nine 60-2x","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer the slightly more minimalist approach of a double-crown configuration over a triple one while looking for a wide range of ratios, then the BIG.NINE 60 (2x) might be just right for you. Combines a double-thickness aluminum frame with more comfort-focused geometry that gives you the perfect hardtail for long off-road rides and fast urban jungle treks. A 100 mm RockShox suspension fork and hydraulic disc brakes further improve comfort and control. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble butted aluminium frame with 29er wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess aggressive and more upright geometry for maximum control and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockShox Judy 100 mm travel suspension fork with lockout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano 9-speed drivetrain with double chainring setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydraulic disc brakesInternal cable routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: BIG.NINE TFS III; material: aluminum, 29x2.25\" max. wheelsize, 135x9mm standard axle, BSA bottom bracket standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork: Rock Shox Judy TK; Coil, 100mm suspension travel, Lockout, 46mm offset fork, 29x2.25\" max. wheelsize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrakes: Power DS100; 2 piston, hydraulic disc brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscs: Shimano RT10; 160 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteering system: MERIDA M2345\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar bend: MERIDA CC; material: aluminium, 690mm width, 15mm rise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar: MERIDA CC; material: aluminium, 31.8mm diameter, 6° stem angle, 90 mm-L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: MERIDA EC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDerailleur: Shimano FD-M2020-TS [2S]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGearbox: Shimano RD-M370\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Micro Shift SL-M850-L3 \/ Micro Shift SL-M859-R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrankset: Shimano MT101-2; 36-22 teeth, 175 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat: MERIDA CC; material: aluminium, 30.9mm diameter, 15mm setback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMors. seat post: MERIDA COMP QR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: MERIDA SPORT COMFORT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePedals: VP VPE-891\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain: KMC M99\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of pinions: Shimano CS-HG200; 11-32 teeth; 9 speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovement series: Shimano BB-UN100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRims: MERIDA CC; 17mm inner width, material: aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHubs: Shimano TX505, 100x9mm width front hub, 32 spoke holes, Centerlock, 135x9mm width rear hub, 32 spoke holes, Centerlock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpokes: Black steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTyres: MERIDA K1080; 29x2.2\", wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTechnologies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eX-TAPER HEADTUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe X-Tapered steering tube offers space for a conical fork.
