Merida Ninety Six 9000

Just because you push your limits on the climbs doesn’t mean you want to take it easy on the descents; that’s why Merida created the NINETY-SIX 9000.

The lightweight P-FLEX carbon frame and fast-rolling tires deliver true XC pedigree, while the downhill capability is boosted by a 120 mm Fox 34 SC fork and a 150 mm dropper post. Add to that the latest wireless Shimano Di2 XTR drivetrain, powerful yet lightweight XTR brakes, an FSA NS SIC one-piece carbon cockpit and Reynolds carbon wheels, and you get a flawless package.
