Add a 120 mm fork, aggressive tyres and a dropper post to our lightweight carbon frame and you've got a recipe for fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BIG.NINE TR 5000 is ready to push beyond what cross-country hardtails should do. We've added a longer travel 120 mm travel RockShox fork, more aggressive high-volume tyres and our own lightweight dropper post to a CF3 carbon frame that features progressive geometry and our AGILOMETER sizing. Add in the precision and benchmark reliability of Shimano's XT 12-speed and you're good to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMountain 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight CF3 carbon fibre frame with 2.4\" tyre clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgressive geometry with AGILOMETER sizing for confident handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockShox Judy fork with 120 mm travel for improved descending ability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide range Shimano 12-speed drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERIDA wheelset with trail-ready Maxxis tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight MERIDA dropper seatpost with remote lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMerida 2026 Big NINE TR 5000\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: S, M, L, XL\u003cbr\u003eColour: Silk Steel Blue(Blue)\u003cbr\u003eFrame: BIG.NINE TR CF3 III, MAT carbon, 29x2.4\" max WHS, 148x12 AST, BSA BBR,\u003cbr\u003eFork: Rock Shox Reba RL, Air, 120 STR, Tapered, 44 mm fork offset,\u003cbr\u003eShock: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrankset: Shimano Deore MT512, 32t\u003cbr\u003ePedals:\u003cbr\u003eChain: KMC X12,\u003cbr\u003eBottom Bracket: Shimano BB-MT-501, 24mm\u003cbr\u003eRear Derailleur: Shimano XT, SGS\u003cbr\u003eFront Derailleur: \u003cbr\u003eShifter: [F] JD-FL lever, [R] Shimano Deore M6100,\u003cbr\u003eFreewheel\/Cassette: Shimano Deore M6100, 10-51t, 12sp\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBraking System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrakes: Shimano SLX M7100, 2 piston\u003cbr\u003eBrake Levers: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyres: Maxxis Rekon, 29x2.4\" WT, tubeless ready, 3C EXO,\u003cbr\u003eWheels\/Rims: MERIDA EXPERT CC II, 25 IWR, MAT aluminium, Tubeless ready (tubeless tape and valves not included)\u003cbr\u003eHubs: [F] Shimano TC500-B, 110x15 WHF, 32 SPH, Centerlock [R] Shimano TC500-MS-B, 148x12 WHR, 32 SPH, Centerlock\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandlebar: MERIDA EXPERT CC, MAT aluminium, 760 WHB, flat\u003cbr\u003eStem: MERIDA TEAM CC III, MAT aluminium, 31.8 DSH, -6 ASD, incl.
