Overview of components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the Suntour RAIDON model. The travel on this model is 100mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
The wheels on BIG.NINE 3000 are the 29″ aluminum type. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Merida BIG.NINE 3000 has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
