Merida Big.Nine 40 (2014)

Merida's Big.Nine 40 offers a lot of performance for the price. This entry-level 29er has a great spec and is affordable for folks new to the off-road scene. The bike features a lightweight, tough aluminium frame and a Suntour fork. Shimano Altus 9 components make up the drivetrain, and parts from KMC, SunRace, and Merida finish things off. Promax's powerful hydraulic discs brake with authority.
