Merida eBIG.NINE 400 III2 2024

The power to do more in what matters. That's what eBIG.NINE 400 offers. More fun when riding off-road, with a powerful new Shimano EP6 motor unit to help you uphill. More time on the bike, with a 630 Wh battery that will keep you going for miles. More control, thanks to a Suntour shock-absorbing fork, strong tires and powerful Shimano brakes. More of everything but superfluous weight, thanks to a high-quality aluminum frame that also has a lifetime warranty.

Arguably the most versatile electric bike in the range, the proven eBIG.NINE embodies the perfect balance of everyday usability and leisure sport activity. It's a bike that can handle challenging off-road riding, but can also handle the home-work commute with ease, especially if you want to have some fun on the way. The high-quality aluminum frame elegantly integrates a choice of 630 or 750 Wh batteries into the down tube, with a more economical frame featuring a 504 Wh semi-integrated battery on some models. All are equipped with powerful and smooth Shimano motor units that will give you power on any incline. Ready to be equipped with mudguards and even a side stand (already included on the fully equipped EQ version), eBIG.NINE will help you make the most of every situation.

Technologies

Prolite 66 Triple Butted Aluminum
Proven high-end aluminum (6066) is extremely light and strong. Using triple-butted wall thicknesses and hydroforming technology, aluminum tubes can be fine-tuned to provide the best possible stiffness-to-weight ratio.

HFS - Hydro Forming System
Tubes are inserted into negative molds and a hot emulsion of water and oil is forced under pressure, enabling them to form complex shapes.

X-Taper Headtube
The X-Tapered headtube provides space for mounting a tapered fork. Tapered forks offer exceptional stiffness and precision and provide confidence-inspiring steering.

Smooth Welding
Sometimes called "double pass welding," a second pass on the weld gives the frame a clean, organic look. At first glance, you'll be convinced it's carbon.

Internal Cable Routing
Cables are routed through the frame, going in and out through smooth sockets. The bike has a clean look, while the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

Smart Entry
Cables, housings, and brake hoses are tightened under tension to prevent rattling when trails or roads get rough. All inputs are fully interchangeable to handle Di2, hydraulic hoses, brake cables and shifting cable housings, etc.

DI2 Ready
Bicycles/frames with the "Di2 Ready" symbol are prepared for installation of Di2 technology by mounting the battery in the seatpost or inside the fork.

F-Mount
Bikes equipped with F-Mount have integrated fender fittings (some bikes require model-specific fenders), making installation quick and easy.

K-Mount
Integrated mount on the chainstay to mount a MERIDA kickstand (or any commercial kickstand).

C-Mount
Bikes equipped with "C-Mount" have attachment points for a rear rack already built in (some bikes require a model-specific rear rack), making mounting fast, easy and reliable.

Casting Motor Bracket
Sophisticated shape possible only through casting technology, creating an integrated appearance and extremely strong connection between the motor and electric bike frame for improved performance and reliability.

Energy Guard Twist
Twist Lock mechanism located at the top end of the "Energy Guard" battery cover for easy locking and unlocking of the protective inner battery cover.
