Merida Big Nine TR5000 2026

Relentless speed and low weight uphill, paired with trail-hardtail swagger on the descents. The BIG.NINE TR 5000 is ready to push beyond what cross-country hardtails should do. Added a longer travel 120 mm travel RockShox fork, more aggressive high-volume tyres and Cwn lightweight dropper post to a CF3 carbon frame that features progressive geometry and CGILOMETER sizing. Add in the precision and benchmark reliability of Shimano's XT 12-speed and you're good to go.
