Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

The 2026 Merida Big Nine 10K is the flagship cross-country hardtail, engineered for riders who demand maximum speed, precision, and performance.

  • Progressive XC geometry (AGILOMETER sizing) — for stable handling, efficient climbs, and confident control on descents

  • Fox 32 SC Factory 100 mm fork with remote lockout — smooth suspension when needed, efficient pedalling when locked out

  • Shimano XTR Di2 wireless 12-speed drivetrain — ultra-sharp, precise shifting with minimal maintenance

  • Reynolds Blacklabel 309 carbon wheelset + tubeless-ready setup — lightweight, stiff, fast-rolling wheels with modern tyre performance

  • FSA NS SIC one-piece carbon cockpit & carbon seatpost — reduces weight and improves stiffness for responsive handling

  • High-quality finishing kit — XTR brakes, premium tyres, and a race-ready build for competitive XC or demanding trails
