- XC racing is in Merida's DNA, the Multivan Merida Biking team boasted countless national, European, World and even Olympic medals. The classic race hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. Whether you want to take on epic rides or cross-country races, the Big Nine 3000 is the perfect place to start. The lightweight CF3 carbon fibre frame uses the Agilometer sizing system so you can match your riding style and the progressive geometry combines lightning-fast reactions with downhill abilities and comfort that you'd never expect.
