Merida has a long-standing reputation for producing tough, reliable aluminium hardtails, and the Big Nine 20 SE is no exception. Built around the TFS IV 6061 aluminium frame, it combines double-butted, technoformed tubing for strength and reduced weight, with internally routed cables for a clean, low-maintenance setup. The tapered head tube allows for future fork upgrades, while the chainstay-mounted disc brake keeps the calliper protected and enhances braking performance. Practical touches like mudguard and kickstand mounts make it adaptable for both leisure and utility use.
The SR Suntour XCT30 coil-sprung fork provides 100mm of travel to smooth out rough tracks and trail chatter, giving more control and comfort over uneven terrain. Shimano’s 24-speed drivetrain offers a wide gear range to tackle varied gradients, whether you’re climbing steep hills or cruising on the flat. Hydraulic disc brakes from Shimano ensure strong, predictable stopping power in all conditions.
Rolling on 29” Merida CC alloy wheels with 2.2” Merida K1080 tyres, the Big Nine 20 SE delivers stability, traction, and good rollover ability to keep momentum on mixed terrain. Whether you’re exploring cross-country trails, using it for fitness, or simply enjoying a weekend ride, this bike is built to give you dependable performance every time you head out.
