| Style | The Big Nine 15 might be Merida's entry level 29er, but this UK exclusive is a capable hardtail with a sophisticated TFS aluminium frame, hydraulic disc brakes and plenty of Shimano componentry including 3x8 drivetrain and hubs. Merida's heartland has always been bombproof aluminium hardtails. Half a century of frame building experience counts for a lot. Big Nine and Big Seven models use a sophisticated TFS frame featuring the latest technology: full internal cable routing for a clean, neat set up, tapered headtube offering the potential for future upgrades inboard disc brake mounts protect the brake and maximise stopping power. There are a wide range of sizes; Big Nine for taller riders and Big Seven for shorter riders with a healthy overlap between the two. For riders in the middle, riding style can be taken into account. If you are looking for speed and efficiency choose a Big Nine, if you are looking for agility choose a Big Seven. Highlights: - Sophisticated aluminium frame with tapered head tube and internal cable routing - Shimano hydraulic disc brakes - 3x8 Shimano drivetrain - Shimano hubs Details RACELITE 61 ALUMINIUM Merida use a minimum of 6061 grade aluminium on all bikes. It's particularly well suited to being shaped with our hydroforming and technoforming processes, which allow us to vary the wall thickness to create double-butted tubing and complex frame shapes. It's also an alloy that welds easily, and once it has been carefully heat treated to maximise strength, it means we can create strong and lightweight bicycle frames for you to enjoy. INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING Running the brake and gear cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look and can offer aerodynamic advantages. X-TAPER HEADTUBE Steering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows us to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering.
