The Merida Big Nine 300 is a hardtail mountain bike with Shimano components and overall design built to help the recreational rider expand their skills. The lightweight Big Nine Alloy frame comes with internally routed cables in 2021 to minimise maintenance and keep your bike looking clean. It runs a 2×10 speed Shimano Deore Drivetrain which is more than capable when it comes to those hard climbs as it rolls with smooth efficiency and clean gear changes. The Suntour XCR Fork with lockout and 100mm travel is in the sweet spot for fun and adventure, enough to handle the rough stuff yet still gives you an agile ride.

It wouldn’t be the Big Nine without 29″ Merida Comp Wheels and Maxxis Ikon 2.2″ Tyres for a quick and smooth ride. Ride with confidence, hitting every descent or turn hard thanks to the reliable Tektro M275 2 Piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes which give you unmatched control. The main difference improvement over the Big Nine 200 is the 2×10 speed Shimano Deore Drivetrain instead of the lower end 3×9 speed drivetrain, so it’s really up to your personal preference. The simplified 2x setup is noticeably smoother and more consistent in comparison to the 3×9 speed drivetrain. The Merida Big Nine 300 Mountain Bike offers cross-country versatility with 29″ wheels, 2×10 Speed Deore drivetrain and powerful hydraulic disc brakes to form a well-rounded bike.
