Merida Big.Nine 300 (Orange/Black)
A62211A01084
An aluminium 29er hardtail for riders who want a genuine Shimano Deore drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes without stepping up to a carbon frame.
Overview
The Big.Nine 300 pairs Merida's double-butted TFS aluminium frame with a genuine Shimano Deore 2x10 drivetrain, bridging the gap between entry-level hardtails and the brand's carbon race bikes.
A Suntour XCR air fork handles the front end with 100mm of travel, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes bring confident stopping power, and a wide-range 10-speed cassette gives the double-chainring drivetrain enough spread for steep climbs and fast flat sections alike.
It suits a rider who's ready for genuine mid-tier componentry on a durable aluminium frame — someone riding regular trails or fire roads who wants dependable performance without a carbon-frame price tag.
Why You'll Like It
A genuine Shimano Deore drivetrain
Deore-level shifting is a real step up from entry-level groupsets, giving smoother, more precise gear changes.
A wide-range 2x10 gear spread
A double chainring and an 11-42T cassette give an easy gear for steep climbs and a real top end for flat stretches.
An air-sprung suspension fork
The Suntour XCR fork's 100mm of air-sprung travel smooths out rough ground more efficiently than a basic coil fork.
Reliable hydraulic disc brakes
Tektro hydraulic brakes bring confident, consistent stopping power whatever the conditions.
A durable double-butted aluminium frame
Merida's TFS aluminium frame is built for genuine long-term durability on regular trail riding.
Who Is It For?
The Big.Nine 300 suits a rider stepping up from an entry-level hardtail who wants genuine mid-tier Shimano Deore performance without the cost of a carbon frame — a strong choice for regular weekend trail riding.
For Indian riders tackling fire roads, parks, and mixed tarmac-and-dirt routes, the wide 2x10 gearing and dependable disc brakes make it a genuinely capable everyday off-road bike.
Good to Know
- With a double chainring, easing off the pedals briefly during a front shift keeps gear changes smooth.
- Use the fork's air pressure and rebound settings to dial in the ride feel for your weight and the terrain you ride most.
- A quick post-ride wipe-down of the fork stanchions and drivetrain keeps everything running smoothly between services.
