Big Nine 3000 2026

The Merida Big Nine carbon frame hardtail mountain bike is a perfect starting point for epic trail rides or cross-country races. A lightweight CF3 carbon fibre frame, high-volume tyres and progressive geometry make the 3000 a rapid climber and swift descender.

XC racing is in Merida's DNA, the Multivan Merida Biking team boasted countless national, European, World and even Olympic medals. The classic race hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. 

The lightweight CF3 carbon fibre frame uses the Agilometer sizing system so you can match your riding style and the progressive geometry combines lightning-fast reactions with downhill abilities and comfort that you'd never expect.
