If you buy the Merida BIG.NINE 200, you will really feel suitably prepared for on sporty excursions. Because that´s exactly what it was developed for. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 12,95 kg of the Merida Hardtail counts towards the lighter Racebike that you get for under under 1000 Euro. The lively character invites you to throw the bike around with ease. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the BIG.NINE 200 suite the taste of most bikers. On the downhill, however, the Merida Racebike is left in the dust by its competitors. With the shifting components, Merida fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Merida is behind its products.
