Merida Big.Nine TR 8000
Description
Cross-country speed, trail bike performance.
The latest BIG.NINE TR 8000 improves the descending capability of Merida's latest carbon frame with progressive geometry through a fork with 120 mm travel, more aggressive tires, and a dropper post.
The long-travel dropper post and RockShox SID fork provide control and precision, while the wireless SRAM GX T-type drive and lightweight Reynolds carbon wheelset deliver rapid speed uphill and downhill.
Cross-country, down-country – this bike is ready for anything.
In the demanding world of cross-country mountain biking, the classic hardtail remains one of the most purist tools.
Merida's BIG.NINE series, equipped with 29-inch wheels, is available with a carbon or two different aluminum frames, offering the right model for every budget. The latest BIG.NINE models with CF carbon and LITE aluminum frames offer modern geometry with improved ground clearance and stability to better meet today's demanding race courses.
They also feature down-country capable TR options equipped with more travel, more aggressive tires, and dropper posts.
For beginners, the BIG.NINE TFS comes with a more relaxed geometry and matching components that offer high value and versatility both on and off the trails.
The BIG.SEVEN TFS models with 27.5-inch wheels are suitable for smaller riders.
Merida's classic XC hardtails are the backbone of the lineup and demonstrate the vast experience and knowledge we've accumulated over more than half a century of bicycle production and manufacturing.
