Merida Big Nine Team Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB
Weight - 9.29kg (19" frame, without pedals)
The Merida Big Nine Team is the top-end, no holds barred XC race 29er. This is the same machine the Multivan Merida Team ride - so you know that this delivers competition level performance.
As you'd expect this cross country race MTB is super fast, light and very capable and rolls efficiently on both rough and smooth terrain.
Frame & Fork
You can't get a better carbon frame from Merida than this. The layup uses both high and low modulus fibres where they're needed for optimal stiffness or compliance. Stiff fibres (high modulus) are used around the BB and low modulus are used in places like the seat stays.
The fibres are bonded using a resin that has added nano particles which improves impact resistance by up to 40% helping to protect the frame from stone chips.
The frame has carbon dropouts and full internal gear cable routing. A tapered 1.5" head tube and 12mm bolt through rear axle provide extra stiffness and help to keep the wheels tracking straight and true.
A Rock Shox SID XX (100mm travel) fork offers incredibly smooth suspension performance on technical terrain. This is a very good fork which is light, supple and forgiving. A tapered steerer adds front end stiffness.
Components
Merida have spec'd the Big Nine Team with high-end components including the best SRAM groupset (X11) for crisp, reliable and light gearing and shifting (on a par with Shimano XTR) over a range of gears. It's is ideal for rapid XC riding.
SRAM XX hydraulic disc brakes also give you all the stopping power you need.
The Fulcrum Red Power wheelset with externally butted rims is light in all the right places and accelerate quickly. for 29" wheels that is. They are strong enough to clatter through rock gardens, have an almost silent freehub and the bearings have a reputation for superb long-term smoothness.
Merida's Big Nine Team is the ultimate XC machine for seriously fast competitive riders.
