{"product_id":"merida-ebig-nine-400-2027","title":"eBig Nine 400 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe eBig Nine is built around a simple idea: as sporty as possible, as comfortable as necessary. It is a 29er hardtail eMTB on a Lite III aluminium frame with the battery housed inside the down tube, a 148 x 12mm rear axle and clearance for 29 x 2.35 tyres, or 29 x 2.25 with a mudguard fitted. The 400 is the way into the range, and it is aimed at riders who simply want to cover more ground off road, whether that means a longer loop after work or a bigger day out at the weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower comes from a Shimano EP6 drive unit producing 85Nm, fed by a 630Wh EN806 in-tube battery. EP6 is the motor a lot of riders would choose over its pricier siblings for trail use: the delivery is smooth and natural, it stays quiet under load, and the assistance tapers off predictably as you approach the legal limit rather than dropping away suddenly. A 630Wh battery is generous for a hardtail at this level, and it is what turns a full day of riding from optimistic into realistic. Everything runs through a Shimano SC-EN500A display on the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chassis is honest, hard-wearing kit rather than showpiece parts. An SR Suntour XCM34-Boost with 100mm of travel and a lockout takes care of the front end, and Maxxis Ikon 29 x 2.2 tyres on 25mm internal width Comp CC II rims with Shimano TC500 Boost hubs make for a fast rolling, low drag setup that suits a lightly suspended bike. Braking is Shimano MT200 two piston hydraulic. The cockpit is a 760mm Expert TR II bar on a short 50mm stem, with GoPro and Supernova mounts built into the stem for a camera or a proper light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGearing is Shimano CUES U6000 in 10 speed Linkglide form, an 11-48 cassette against a 34 tooth CRE70-B e-bike chainring on 165mm cranks. Linkglide earns its place on an electric bike specifically: the sprockets are thicker and built to handle the extra torque a motor puts through the chain, so you replace the drivetrain far less often than you would with standard gearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eeBig Nine Lite III aluminium frame with in-tube battery, 148 x 12mm rear axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano EP6 drive unit, 85Nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano EN806 630Wh integrated battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano SC-EN500A display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSR Suntour XCM34-Boost LO-R fork, 100mm travel with lockout, 44mm offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano CUES U6000 1x10 Linkglide drivetrain, 34 tooth chainring with 11-48 cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, 2 piston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaxxis Ikon 29 x 2.2 kevlar bead tyres on 25mm internal width Comp CC II rims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano TC500 Boost hubs, 110 x 15mm front and 148 x 12mm rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerida Expert eTR II 50mm stem with GoPro and Supernova mounts, 760mm bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications::eBig Nine 400\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscipline: MTB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Aluminium\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotor: Shimano EP6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBattery: 630Wh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheel Size: 29in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame - \u003c\/strong\u003eeBig Nine LITE III;
