merida mountainbike big nine Merida Big Nine 700 (2025) – CrankTech Cycles

Ready to race, without ruining the budget. Our BIG.NINE 700 is a cross-country bike that's more capable than most, with our high-value LITE aluminium frame paired with loads of comfort and control from high-volume tyres and plenty of clearance. Progressive geometry and AGILOMETER sizing boost confidence to new heights, while a 100 mm travel lockout-equipped Manitou fork, Shimano 12-speed drivetrain and powerful hydraulic brakes means it's ready to take on the trails, inside or outside the tape.

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. Our 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. Our classic hardtails are the backbone of our range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge we 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.
