Merida Big.Nine 500 (2016)

The 2016 Merida Big.Nine 500 is a cross-country mountain bike. With a light, tough 6061 aluminum frame and Rock Shox suspension fork, you'll get a smooth, fast ride on the roughest trail. The fast-rolling 29er wheels are clad in Maxxis high-traction treads for confidence in the corners and on fast downhills. Kit is commensurate, from Shimano's quick, clean-shifting SLX/Deore drivetrain to the M355 hydraulic disc brakes, delivering precise control.
A good cross-country hardtail.
