Merida Big Nine 7000 Mountain Bike in Black/Red

Season:2026

Brand:Merida

Code:P-R078

The BIG.NINE 7000 offers up some serious cross-country speed thanks to Merida's lightweight carbon fibre frame and Shimano's lightning-fast electronic Deore Di2 shifting. With confident and capable geometry and 29" wheels with rapid 2.4" Maxxis tyres, it'll make rapid progress whether on the race track or the trail, and they use the latest Fox 32 Step Cast fork to serve up 100 mm of finely controlled travel.

When it comes to the demanding world of cross-country mountain biking, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. The 29er wheel equipped BIG.NINE range comes with the choice of carbon or two different aluminium frames to deliver a ride for all budgets. The latest CF carbon and LITE aluminium framed BIG.NINE offer truly modern geometry with increased standover clearance and handling stability to better deal with the tough race tracks of today. They also have downcountry ready TR options that boost fork travel and add in aggressive tyres and dropper posts. For riders starting out, the updated BIG.NINE TFS offers more relaxed geometry and builds that deliver great value and versatility on or off the trail, with BIG.SEVEN TFS models using 27.5" wheels to deliver size for shorter riders. Merida's classic XC hardtails are the backbone of their range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge they have gained in over half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range represents the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship that 'Made in Taiwan' stands for.

  • Lightweight CF3 carbon fibre frame with 2.4" tyre clearance
