Expirience with the Merida BIG.NINE 300

Merida BIG.NINE 300 Review You wont be able to hide that smile on your face when riding the BIG.NINE 300 on long tours. With 13,24 kg, the Merida BIG.NINE 300 counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Merida. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. If you are already a little older, your back will love the comfortabel seating position of the Merida Hardtail. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Racebike of Merida doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Racebike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Merida BIG.NINE 300 sizing runs small.
