Description

Merida
Big.Nine 500
Hardtail 29″
The BIG.NINE 100 is MERIDAs classic hardtail. The more relaxed geometry offers a more comfortable, upright riding position and is therefore an
ideal companion on XC and marathon tours.

Our carbon and LITE aluminium models feature a long 422 mm reach, steep 73,5? seat angle, slack 70? head angle and an 80 mm stem (BIG.NINE ? M), affording the BIG.NINE next generation XC geometry. Aggressive agility meets stable calmness; perfect for today?s demanding courses. Features – Big.Nine 500 SMART ENTRY
Cables, housings and brake hoses are clamped under tension to prevent rattling when the trail gets rough. All inlets are completely interchangeable to deal with Di2, hydraulic hoses, brake cable and gear cable housings etc. DROPPER POST READY
All models down to the BIG.NINE 40 feature a 30.9 mm seatpost, the enhanced connection area increases the strength around the top tube/seat tube join and allows the option of fitting a dropper seat post. Models down to BIG. NINE LIMITED allow internal cable routing for the dropper post while the remaining models would require external routing. LOVED BY THE PRESS
Our classic hardtails are not just a much-loved trail companion but the international cycling press also value our design and engineering work. De Telegraaf in the Netherlands made the BIG.NINE XT-EDITION their test winner and polish bike magazine bike- Board rewarded the BIG.NINE 500 with their over-all test winning credentials as well as with the ?lightest? and ?value for money? accolades.
