Description
The Merida Big Nine TR Limited is a remarkable bicycle that bridges the gap between cross - country and trail riding. It features a high - value, high - performance aluminum frame. This frame is not only great for climbing but also highly capable on descents. With Merida's progressive geometry, AGILOMETER sizing, and clearance for 2.4' tires, it's ready for any trail. The addition of more aggressive rubber, a dropper seatpost, and a 120mm travel Manitou fork gives you more confidence when going downhill while keeping you zipping fast on singletrack. Shimano's SLX hydraulic brakes and 12 - speed drivetrain complete this awesome package. The Big Nine TR lite frame has modern geometry with better standover clearance and handling stability, perfect for today's tough race tracks. The HFS hydroforming system creates sleeker tube profiles and has integrated mounting points for rear racks and fenders, making it easy to add accessories. Internal cable routing, using wireport cable technology, makes the bike look clean. All control cables enter the frame through the headset cover, resulting in a lighter, stronger, and more aerodynamic frame. The downtube exit makes cables accessible for maintenance or replacement, while preventing excessive movement and noise that can cause wear and distraction.
Using this bike is a breeze. Just hop on and adjust the dropper seatpost according to whether you're climbing or descending. For climbs, keep it up for more leg extension, and for descents, lower it for better control. When riding, the 12 - speed drivetrain allows you to easily shift gears to match the terrain. The Shimano SLX hydraulic brakes provide great stopping power, so use them to control your speed safely. As for maintenance, check the tires regularly for wear and proper inflation. Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth gear shifting. You can clean the bike with a gentle soap and water, but avoid getting water directly into the headset and bottom bracket areas. If you need to replace any cables, the downtube exit makes it easy to access them. And when adding accessories like rear racks or fenders, use the integrated mounting points on the frame for a secure fit.
