Merida Big.Nine 600 (2016)

The 2016 Merida Big.Nine 600 is a mid-range cross-country mountain bike. Riding on fast-rolling 29er wheels wrapped in Maxxis high-traction tires, the aluminum frame is paired with a Rock Shox fork for a smooth ride. Componentry is top-notch, including a Shimano Deore/XT drivetrain for quick, sure shifts, and Tektro's Gemini hydraulic brakes delivering precise control in technical sections. Available in an orange/blue or low-key brown.
A good cross-country bike.
