Shakes Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Hi Whats your thoughts on the Merida Big Nine XT Edition?
MrJacques Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I took one for a demo a while back. I liked the way it handles. Nice bike and components, except for the wheels which are a bit heavy. Upgrade those and you will have a pretty nice bike.

MrJacques Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Phone Wayne Pheiffer Cycles and ask them if they still have the demo available. Btw, I thought it was better than what that review says, but I haven't ridden a lot of different bikes.
maidenmole Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I have the carbon frame and love it, except for one small thing. From the start I felt somewhat off balance on the bike. Most noticeable when riding hands off the bars. Eventually figured out that the seat tube alignment is a little off. Not the tube itself, but the alignment inside the frame. Means my seat angles slightly to the left (when looking at the bike from the rear). Otherwise a great bike.

maidenmole Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 No point, won't see the deviation in a pic.
Projmanzar Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I have a big Nine Xt Edition. It is an awesome bike, bit heavy, but then for me, weighing in at 121KG the bike is awesome. Never had any issues with the bike, and handles very well. Only complaint i have, is the Mat Black paint, it shows scratches very quickly. i have done about 1500KM on it sofar. I am running tubeless now, so there are no issues in converting (Sold with non-UST). All in all, for a dik oke, im very happy with the bike.
