Big.Nine 800 components
Fork
The Fox Float 32 is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 100mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Big.Nine 800 model has 29″ aluminum wheels. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Merida Big.Nine 800 is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
