Merida Big.Nine XT III1 Bicycle is built for demanding cross-country riders who need a fast, light and more capable hardtail. Its lightweight CF3 carbon frame combines race-focused efficiency with progressive geometry, giving riders the speed needed uphill and better control on tougher XC tracks.

Carbon Frame Control: The updated Big.Nine platform features increased standover clearance, improved handling stability and tyre clearance for up to 2.4" tyres. This helps add comfort, grip and control while still keeping the sharp climbing feel that classic hardtails are known for.

Precise Suspension Support: The RockShox SID fork delivers 100 mm of controlled travel to handle fast trails, rough sections and race-course impacts. A bar-mounted lockout lets riders quickly firm up the suspension when sprinting, climbing, or pushing hard on smoother terrain.

Reliable XT Drivetrain: Shimano’s benchmark 12-speed XT drivetrain gives the Big.Nine XT III1 precise and dependable shifting across varied terrain. Whether attacking climbs or accelerating out of technical sections, the drivetrain supports efficient power delivery and confident gear changes.

Merida Big.Nine XT III1 Bicycle is a lightweight 29er carbon hardtail for riders chasing speed, control and modern XC performance.

Internal Cable Routing: Cables and hoses run through the frame for better protection, a cleaner appearance & possible aero benefits.

Nano Matrix Carbon: Nano-scale particles in the resin improve carbon impact resistance by up to 40% for a stronger, lighter frame.
