TESTED: Merida Big Nine SLX Edition - your mountain bike adventure buddy! | AMBmag.com.au

[@htonmusic]

its a good bike to upgrade - mt500 wheelset for wider tyers - fox 32 for better adjustability - dropper post its 1.5k on 99 bikes now so for probably less then 3k you have a very well specced bike packing bike. the steep geo would go really well on steep climbs.

Yep, the geometry works for that kind of use really well.

Very informative review and love AMB magazine. I have this frame in a lower build spec and they don't actually have provision for an internal dropper. This is the TFS frame. There was a similar merida xc frame that did. It's confusing on Meridas website

[@Australianmountainbike]

Unlikely - but check with your local Merida dealer

You say in the video: "this bike has a SLX groupset". This is a lie. I have the same model and as per the spec, the only SLX components are the cranks and shifter. That is it. It's a very far call to say this bike has a SLX "groupset".
