{"product_id":"merida-big-nine-10k-2027","title":"Big Nine 10K 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the full-fat version of the race hardtail. The Big Nine 10K is built around the CF5 III frame, the lightest carbon in the range, with a revised design that adds fatigue-reducing compliance without giving up the stiffness a cross-country bike needs when you stand on the pedals. Boost axle spacing and a threaded BSA bottom bracket keep it straightforward to service, and tyre clearance runs to 29 x 2.4.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe groupset is Shimano XTR Di2: wireless, twelve speed, with the M9200 cassette spanning 9-45 teeth. That nine tooth top sprocket is the clever part, because it lets a 32 tooth chainring keep a properly fast top gear while still leaving something low enough for a long climb. Shifting comes from an M9250 wireless controller, so no gear cable enters the frame at all, and XTR M9220 two piston brakes give more than enough power for a bike of this weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Fox 32 SC Factory fork looks after the front end, with 100mm of air-sprung travel, a 44mm offset and a two position remote lockout you can flick between climbing and descending settings without taking a hand off the bar. Wheels are Reynolds Blacklabel 309 XC Pro carbon rims with a 30mm internal width on Merida Expert TR hubs, supplied tubeless ready with tape and valves included and covered by a lifetime warranty on the rims. Maxxis Rekon Race 29x2.4 WT tyres in 3C MaxxTerra with an EXO casing are the fast-rolling choice for dry, hardpacked ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cockpit is an FSA SIC one-piece carbon bar and stem, 760mm wide with a -7 degree drop, which saves weight and tidies up the front of the bike considerably. A Prologo Nago R4 PAS Tirox saddle sits on an FSA SL-K carbon post, and the chain and bottom bracket are XTR M9100 and Shimano SM-BB93. There is very little left on this build that a racer would want to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCF5 III super lightweight carbon frame, Boost axle spacing, BSA threaded bottom bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevised frame design with added compliance and progressive geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClearance for 29 x 2.4 tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFox 32 SC Factory air fork, 100mm travel, two position remote lockout, 44mm offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano XTR Di2 M9250 wireless rear derailleur and wireless controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano XTR M9200 9-45 twelve speed cassette with 32 tooth XTR chainset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano XTR M9220 two piston hydraulic disc brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReynolds Blacklabel 309 XC Pro carbon rims, 30mm internal width, lifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubeless ready wheels with tape and valves included, on Merida Expert TR hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaxxis Rekon Race 29x2.4 WT tyres, 3C MaxxTerra, EXO casing, tubeless ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFSA SIC CF one-piece carbon cockpit, 760mm wide, -7 degree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologo Nago R4 PAS Tirox saddle on an FSA SL-K carbon post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications::Big Nine 10K\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscipline: MTB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Carbon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFront Travel: 100mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheel Size: 29in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGearing: 12 speed XTR Di2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMax Tyre: 29 x 2.4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame - \u003c\/strong\u003eCF5 III - Super lightweight carbon;
