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.

Season:2026
Brand:Merida
Code:P-R073
Cross-country race tracks are more demanding than ever, which is why the BIG.NINE XT is capable than ever too. Merida's lightweight CF3 carbon frame with progressive geometry is paired with the lightning-fast wireless shifting of Shimano XT Di2 to give a supremely capable ride. The Fox 32 SC Performance fork uses a stiff chassis to deliver 100 mm of controlled travel with a bar-mounted lockout, while FSA's NS SIC one-piece cockpit and SCi30 carbon wheels minimise weight and maximise speed.
When it comes to the demanding world of cross-country mountain biking, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. The 29er wheel equipped BIG.NINE range comes with the choice of carbon or two different aluminium frames to deliver a ride for all budgets. The latest CF carbon and LITE aluminium framed BIG.NINE offer truly modern geometry with increased standover clearance and handling stability to better deal with the tough race tracks of today. They also have downcountry ready TR options that boost fork travel and add in aggressive tyres and dropper posts. For riders starting out, the updated BIG.NINE TFS offers more relaxed geometry and builds that deliver great value and versatility on or off the trail, with BIG.SEVEN TFS models using 27.5" wheels to deliver size for shorter riders. Merida's classic XC hardtails are the backbone of their range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge they have gained in over half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range represents the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship that 'Made in Taiwan' stands for.
