The CF3 Carbon frame is light, stiff and tough so that you can get the most of every ride, paired with a RockShox Reba RL Fork (51mm offset) with 100mm travel and remote lockout. It is designed with Merida's race-proven geometry with a shorter top tube and a higher head tube for a slightly upright position that gives you improved visibility.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA great frame needs to be matched with a great groupset and the 1x12 speed Shimano drivetrain offers smooth shifting and the simple efficiency of the 1x is now standard on all good mountain bikes. This will give you the range of gears you need to tear up the trails on the Maxxis Ikon 29\" tyres and Merida Expert CC Rims. The Shimano M6100 2 piston hydraulic disc brakes give you the control you need with all of that easy speed, you can attack every corner and descent with confidence. The Merida Big Nine 5000 is a capable climber which comes into its own on longer rides thanks to the carbon frame and excellent components.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cscript type=\"text\/javascript\" async src=\"\/\/orbitvu.co\/share\/zQFZiodFUQDS7yo2kJqdpf\/3921745\/360\/script?width=auto\u0026amp;height=auto\u0026amp;content2=yes\u0026amp;partial_load=yes\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"orbitvu-viewer\" style=\"width: 100%;height: 100%;\"\u003e\r\n    \u003cdiv id=\"ovContent-zQFZiodFUQDS7yo2kJqdpf\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c!-- Three Features Silos --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"row w-row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-col w-col-12\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-parent\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"service-block\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"service-text-wrapper\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch4 class=\"half-margin-top\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eModern Trail Geometry\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph small\"\u003eOur carbon and LITE aluminium models feature a long 422 mm reach, steep 73.5° seat angle, slack 70° head angle and an 80 mm stem (BIG.NINE – M), affording the BIG.NINE next-generation XC geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"service-block\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"service-text-wrapper\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch4 class=\"half-margin-top\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eDropper Post Ready\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph small\"\u003eAll models down to the BIG.NINE LITE frame level feature a 30.9 mm seat post, the enhanced connection area increases the strength around the top tube\/seat tube join and allows the option of fitting a dropper seat post. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"end service-block\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"service-text-wrapper\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch4 class=\"half-margin-top\" style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eClassic Hardtails\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph small\"\u003eHardtails are the backbone of our range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge we were able to gain in 48 years.
