Merida Big Nine 80 Mountain Bike in Red/Black

Season:2025

Brand:Merida

Code:P-Q415

The perfect partner for mountain bike adventures as well as a rugged day-to-day companion, the BIG.NINE 80 uses a quality double-butted aluminium frame with comfortable geometry and smooth rolling 29er wheels to tame the bumps. Add in the control of a 100 mm RockShox suspension fork, plus the dependable performance of a Shimano 9-speed drivetrain and powerful hydraulic disc brakes and it's ready to adventure at the weekend or be a utilitarian partner in the week.

Mountain biking is one of the most varied cycling disciplines and probably the most demanding when it comes to equipment. While full suspension bikes offer amazing riding characteristics, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. Merida's 29er wheel equipped BIG.NINE range comes in carbon and aluminium and features multiple geometry options. The updated CF carbon and LITE aluminium framed BIG.NINE offer truly modern geometry with increased standover clearance and handling stability to better deal with the tough race tracks of today, with downcountry ready TR options that boost fork travel and add in aggressive tyres and dropper posts. The more relaxed geometry of the BIG.NINE TFS and SPEED offers a more comfortable, upright riding position. Their classic hardtails are the backbone of their range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge they could gain in over half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range represents the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship 'Made in Taiwan' symbolises.
