{"product_id":"merida-big-nine-tr-8000-2027","title":"Big Nine TR 8000 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpend properly on the TR platform and you end up here. The Big Nine TR 8000 pairs the CF3 III carbon frame with a RockShox SID Select+ fork at 120mm of travel, a wireless SRAM Transmission drivetrain and a carbon Reynolds wheelset, which leaves it light enough to race and capable enough to ride trails on all day. It is the sharpest end of the downcountry hardtail idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSRAM's GX Eagle Transmission AXS is a T-Type groupset, so the rear derailleur is a direct-mount unit and shifting happens through an AXS POD controller with no gear cable anywhere on the bike. The 10-52 twelve speed cassette runs against a 34 tooth GX Eagle chainset, giving a wide spread with a slightly taller top gear than the 32 tooth builds, which suits the faster, flatter riding this bike is quick on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe braking is worth a closer look: a four piston SRAM Motive Bronze caliper at the front, paired with a two piston at the rear. On a hardtail that is a sensible split, putting the extra power where the traction actually is without carrying weight at the back that the rear tyre could never use. The SID Select+ fork adds a two position remote lockout and a 44mm offset, and the Merida Team TR SL dropper gives 150mm of drop on the smaller frames and 170mm from L upwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReynolds TR 309 XC carbon rims have a 30mm internal width, arrive tubeless ready with tape and valves included and carry a lifetime warranty, laced here to Merida Expert TR hubs. Maxxis Rekon tyres in 29x2.4 WT with 3C rubber and an EXO casing suit mixed conditions, and the cockpit is a 760mm Team CC II carbon bar with 12.5mm of rise on a Team CC III stem with a SMART MOUNT. A Prologo Nago R4 PAS Tirox saddle finishes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCF3 III carbon frame, Boost axle spacing, BSA threaded bottom bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgressive geometry, clearance for 29 x 2.4 tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockShox SID Select+ air fork, 120mm travel, two position remote lockout, 44mm offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSRAM GX Eagle Transmission AXS wireless T-Type drivetrain with AXS POD controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSRAM GX Eagle Transmission 10-52 twelve speed cassette with 34 tooth chainset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSRAM Motive Bronze brakes: four piston front, two piston rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerida Team TR SL dropper post, 150mm on S and M, 170mm on L to XXL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReynolds TR 309 XC 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 29x2.4 WT tyres, 3C compound, EXO casing, tubeless ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerida Team CC II carbon bar, 760mm wide with 12.5mm rise, Team CC III stem with SMART MOUNT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcros ICR integrated headset with upper and lower IPS sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications::Big Nine TR 8000\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: 120mm\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 AXS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDropper: 150-170mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame - \u003c\/strong\u003eCF3 III - carbon; Boost axle standard, BSA BB standard, Max. tyre size 29 x 2.4\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork - \u003c\/strong\u003eRock Shox SID Select+; Air; 120mm travel; 2 position Remote lockout; 29x2.4 max. wheel size; 44mm fork offset\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset - \u003c\/strong\u003eAcros ICR Merida INTEGRATED neck; Upper and lower IPS sealing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Team CC III; aluminium; 31.8mm diameter; -6 degree rise; incl.
