The Big Nine 7000 is Merida's carbon cross-country hardtail focused on speed and efficiency. XC racing is in Merida's DNA, with its factory team collecting countless national, European, World and Olympic medals, and this bike brings that race-bred know-how to a build that's as at home on the trail as it is between the tape.
A lightweight CF3 carbon frame with progressive geometry and Agilometer sizing is paired with Shimano's fast, precise wireless Deore Di2 12-speed shifting. Confident, capable handling and 29" wheels with fast-rolling 2.4" Maxxis Rekon Race tyres mean it makes rapid progress wherever you point it.
The rest of the build is just as sorted, with a 100mm Fox 32 Step-Cast Performance fork with remote lockout, Shimano SLX brakes, tubeless-ready rims and an FSA carbon seatpost.
