Merida Big Nine TR 8000

Cross-country speed, trail bike performance. The latest BIG.NINE TR 8000 boosts the descending capability of our latest progressive geometry carbon fibre frame by adding a longer travel 120 mm fork, more aggressive tyres and a dropper seatpost for improved control. A long travel dropper post and RockShox SID fork deliver control and precision while the wireless SRAM GX T-Type drivetrain and lightweight Reynold carbon wheelset offer blisteringly fast pace, uphill or down. Cross-country, downcountry - this bike is ready for it all.

When it comes to the demanding world of cross-country mountain biking, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. Our 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. Our classic XC hardtails are the backbone of our range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge we 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.
