Expirience with the Merida BIG.NINE 300

Ludwig Döhl You wont be able to hide that smile on your face when riding the Merida Hardtail in light terrain. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 13,46 kg of the Merida BIG.NINE 300 counts towards the lighter Racebike that you get for under under 1000 Euro. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Merida. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. The upright seating position gives the Merida a comfortable character. Merida is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the BIG.NINE 300 sizing runs small.
