Expirience with the Merida BIG.NINE 8000

Ludwig Döhl You prefer your bike to be used as a on sporty excursions? Then the BIG.NINE 8000 and you could really hit it off. With the weight indication of 8,69 kg, Merida lets the competitors look outdated. Because under the Racebike you will hardly find a lighter model. Riding pleasure guaranteed. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Merida Hardtail. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. At the seating position, Merida combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. On the downhill, however, the Merida Racebike is left in the dust by its competitors. Merida gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
