Merida Big Nine 10K Review - XC Rocket or Adventure Beast?
Merida Big Nine 10K Review | XC Racer Meets Backcountry Beast
In this 10-minute deep-dive, we put the Merida Big Nine 10K—one of the best XC bikes of 2025—through its paces. This carbon hardtail mountain bike is built for cross-country racing, but we pushed it further with a bikepacking adventure through the Rocky Mountains.
With just a few smart tweaks, the Big Nine 10K proved to be more than just an XC race bike—it became a surprisingly capable hardtail bikepacking setup. Whether you’re racing, climbing steep trails, or loaded up for days off-grid, this Merida MTB handled it all - you’ll want to see this.
