BIG NINE 7000

Features BIG NINE 7000

• 

  NANO MATRIX CARBON

  NANO MATRIX CARBON is a special kind of carbon fibre where we add extremely tiny, nano-scale particles to the resin that binds the individual carbon fibres together. These then work on a molecular level to protect them from damage. It’s so effective that it can actually increase the finished carbon fibre’s impact resistance by up to 40%, allowing us to build stronger and lighter composite frames that result in a faster and tougher bike.

• 

  AWS ANTI WRINKLE SYSTEM

  This is a method we use to manufacture our carbon fibre frames. First, the carbon fibre that makes up the frame is laid around special formers. We then use a bladder to compress the layers against the outside of the frame mould, giving a smooth and wrinkle-free internal finish, removing any voids in between the layers of carbon that can cause potential weak points, resulting in a stronger, lighter frame.

• 

  FLEX STAY

  By using a specific tube shape and careful design of the seat- and chainstay of our hardtail bikes, we enable them to work like flat leaf springs, absorbing surface bumps and reducing vibrations. This makes the rear end more comfortable, can improve power delivery and has a positive impact on rider fatigue. In particular, on performance bikes that are ridden over long distances and uneven surfaces, this can have a great effect on the overall riding performance and enjoyment.

• 

  X-TAPER HEADTUBE

  Steering precision is vital to safe and confident handling, and the X-TAPER HEADTUBE allows us to significantly boost this precision. A larger headset diameter at the bottom paired with a smaller one at the top helps to deal with the strains modern riding and equipment can put on the headtube, all without adding unnecessary weight. It allows tapered forks to be fitted with ease and delivers precise and confidence-inspiring steering.

• 

  INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING

  On the majority of our frames, we run the gear and brake cables and hoses through the frame. The cables enter and exit the frame through smooth sockets, or we use one of our other systems like SMART ENTRY or WIRE PORT to be routed through. Running the cables inside the frame protects them from the elements, gives a clean and neat look and can offer aerodynamic advantages.

• 

  SMART ENTRY

  Many of our frames offer internal cable routing, where the gear and brake cables are run through the frame for maximum protection and a clean look. Some internally run cables can rattle when riding over uneven surfaces, but our SMART ENTRY system prevents this from happening. Cables, housings and brake hoses are clamped under tension to prevent noisy cable movement. All inlets are completely interchangeable to deal with any kind of cable or wire.

• 

  DI2 READY

  Shimano's Di2 electronic shifting system offers fast, smooth and reliable shifting. In particular, in the road world, it has proven itself as the primary choice when top performance is at the top of the agenda. With that in mind, we have a broad selection of performance road frames that are Di2 READY and can accommodate the electrical cable, battery and other little tweaks that the system requires.

• 

  S-FLEX

  De S-Flex zadelpen zorgt door het absorberen van trillingen voor extra comfort zonder in te leveren op prestaties. Zo blijf je langer lekker op de fiets zitten!

• 

  REMOTE LOCK-OUT

  De voorvork en/of achterdemper van je MERIDA-fiets kunnen eenvoudig met een afstandsbediening vanaf het stuur worden geblokkeerd. Optimaal voor (race)bikers die razendsnel tussen de open en gesloten modus willen wisselen.

• 

  POST-MOUNT DISC

  Door de directe bevestiging van de Postmount remklauw aan de dropouts wordt het uitlijnen van de remklauwen makkelijker. Door verschillende adapters te gebruiken kunnen verschillende diameters van remschijven worden gebruikt.

• 

  C-S POST MOUNT DISC

  Door de remklauw aan de binnenkant van het frame te monteren kunnen de krachten beter op de ideale manier in het frame verdeeld worden en zit de remklauw beter beschermd tegen beschadigingen. Daarnaast geeft de interne kabelvoering een cleane look.

• 

  12-148 THRU-AXLE BOOST

  'Boost' hubs are 6mm wider and therefore the spokes run flatter, this results in a stiffer and stronger wheel. Especially with 29" and 650b+ wheels and in combination with a thru axle this is a big step forward. The chain-stay can also be made shorter because the bottom bracket is also wider and the chain line is moved outwards. This makes the bike even stiffer and more agile.

• 

  15-110 THRU-AXLE

  Steekassen zorgen niet alleen voor een hogere torsiestijfheid. Ze zorgen ook voor het makkelijk wisselen van wiel en een altijd perfect uitgelijnde remschijf. MERIDA kiest voor 12 mm steekassen voor de achterwielen en 15 mm voor de voorwielen,.
