Expirience with the Merida BIG.NINE 200

Ludwig Döhl Fun is the name of the game when you ride the Merida Hardtail on long tours. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Merida, at 13,36 kg. Thus, the Merida is one of the lighter Racebike that you get for 949 Euro . When it comes down to handling, Merida does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Merida BIG.NINE 200 is ready for the majority of singletrails. The upright seating position gives the BIG.NINE 200 a comfortable character. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the BIG.NINE 200 is probably not the right bike for you. Merida is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature. Caution when selecting the size: the Aluminium frame sizing runs small.
