Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

Merida Big Nine 20 Mountain Bike In Dark Grey/Purple

Season:2025

Brand:Merida

Code:P-Q420

Single chainring equipped entry-level 29er aluminium hardtail.

The riding position puts less strain on the lower back and also improves the visibility of what lies ahead. A 100 mm suspension fork from SR Suntour and hydraulic disc brakes improve comfort and control even further.

Mountain biking is one of the most varied cycling disciplines and probably the most demanding when it comes to equipment. While full suspension bikes offer amazing riding characteristics, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. The updated 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, with downcountry ready TR options that boost fork travel and add in aggressive tyres and dropper posts.

The more relaxed geometry of the BIG.NINE TFS and SPEED offers a more comfortable, upright riding position. Classic hardtails are the backbone of the range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge 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 'Made in Taiwan' symbolizes.

Features:

  • Double butted aluminium frame with 29er wheels.
  • Less aggressive and more upright geometry for maximum control and comfort.
  • SR Suntour 100 mm travel suspension fork with lockout.
  • Shimano 8-speed drivetrain with single chainring setup.
  • Tektro hydraulic disc brakes.
  • Internal cable routing.
