The Big Nine TR Limited blurs the line between cross-country and trail, with a high-value, high-performance aluminium frame that's as capable on the descents as it is on the climbs. Alongside Merida’s progressive geometry, AGILOMETER sizing and clearance for 2.4" tyres, they’ve added more aggressive rubber, a dropper seatpost and 120mm travel Manitou fork to boost descending confidence while keeping it lightning-fast on singletrack. Shimano's SLX hydraulic brakes and 12-speed drivetrain round the package out.

The Big Nine TR lite frame offers up truly modern geometry with increased standover clearance and handling stability to better deal with the tough race tracks of today. The HFS hydroforming system allows for sleeker tube profiles as well as integrated mounting points for rear racks and fenders, making fitting accessories fast, simple and reliable. Internal cable routing, including wireport cable technology enables all control cables from the handlebar to enter the frame through the headset cover, creating a clean and uncluttered look, allowing for a lighter, stronger and more aerodynamic frame structure than with conventional cable ports. While a downtube exit means cables are easily accessible for routine maintenance or replacement, but it prevents excessive movement and noise that can cause wear and distraction.
