Expirience with the Merida BIG.NINE 600

Ludwig Döhl As a in light terrain, the Merida Hardtail ticks all the boxes. When it comes down to handling, Merida does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the BIG.NINE 600 is ready for the majority of singletrails. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
