Merida Big Nine TFS 500 (2013)
Especially in the hardtail sector, Twentyniners have established themselves as an essential part of today’s bike world. Good to know that the big-wheeled MERIDAs enter their third model year now and thus benefit from competent R&D experience – plus the fact that our MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM scored nearly all successes of last season (incl. one European Championship title) on this bike. For 2013, the BIG.NINE offers many new features: The high-end versions delight with further weight optimization and with a new rear stay whose flax fibres, as part of the carbon structure, increase comfort perceptibly once again. All LITE versions now feature shorter chain stays and a direct-mount bracket for the derailleur. Carbon fans enjoy new carbon frames priced below the high-end line.
