Expirience with the Merida BIG.NINE 60

Ludwig Döhl The Merida BIG.NINE 60 was designed for use in on sporty excursions. And that's exactly where it shines. With 13,93 kg, the Merida Hardtail counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Racebike of Merida. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. If you are already a little older, your back will love the comfortabel seating position of the Racebike of Merida. Finally, the BIG.NINE 60 still has one point to prove: compared to the competitors in the same price segment, the Merida has significantly stronger brakes. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Merida Hardtail sizing runs small.
