With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
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!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

The 2026 Merida Big Nine TR 5000 blends the lightness and climbing efficiency of an XC hardtail with added trail-ready capability for descents. Built on a CF3 carbon frame with clearance for 29" wheels and up to 2.4" tyres, it provides a nimble platform for versatile trail riding.
Up front, a 120 mm-travel suspension fork delivers smoother handling on rough terrain while maintaining quick and efficient pedalling uphill. Precision and reliability come from a 12-speed Shimano drivetrain, and the bike rolls on tubeless-ready wheels with grippy tyres, optimized for mixed terrain and trails. Added versatility comes from a dropper seatpost, giving you confidence when transitioning between climbs and technical descents.
