Merida's heartland has always been bombproof aluminium hardtails. Half a century of frame building experience counts for a lot.

The Big Nine and Big Seven 80 is a UK exclusive model pairing a RockShox Judy fork and Shimano Deore 1 x 12 groupset with our sophisticated TFS frame featuring the latest technology:

full internal cable routing for a clean, neat set up,
tapered headtube offering the potential for future upgrades
inboard disc brake mounts protect the brake and maximise stopping power

There are a wide range of sizes; Big Nine for taller riders and Big Seven for shorter riders with a healthy overlap between the two.

For riders in the middle, riding style can be taken into account. If you are looking for speed and efficiency choose a Big Nine, if you are looking for agility choose a Big Seven.
