Ninety-Six 9000 2026

Merida's Ninety-Six 9000 is the XC bike bike riders who want to keep speeds up on the climbs and the descents. 

The lightweight P-FLEX carbon frame and fast rolling tyres provides the cross-country racing genes while down-country capability is boosted thanks to a 120mm travel Fox 34 SC fork and 150mm dropper post. Add to that the latest Shimano Di2 XTR wireless drivetrain, powerful yet lightweight XTR brakes, a FSA NS SIC one-piece carbon cockpit and Reynolds carbon wheels, and you've got an impeccable package.
