🚀 2026 Merida Mission 9000 – Glossy Gunmetal Grey to Wildberry Fade

RRP: £5000

🎯 About the Bike

Introducing the Mission 9000, Merida’s brand-new gravel race weapon. Built from a purpose-designed CF4 carbon frameset with race-optimised geometry, and spec’d from the ground up for high performance off-road, this isn’t a leisure bike — it’s a gravel rocket.

Featuring the full 13-speed wireless SRAM Force XPLR AXS groupset, ultra-light “race gravel” Zipp 303 XPLR S carbon wheels, and Goodyear XPLR 40 mm slick tyres specially tuned for the Zipp wheels, the Mission 9000 is engineered to win. Add the Merida Team SL GR1P one-piece carbon cockpit and the clever down-tube trunk storage (with Fidlock cover) for race nutrition and spares — and you have a machine that eats gravel and drops competitors.

Whether you’re heading into a mixed surface race, a big gravel event or just going full-tilt on challenging terrain, the Mission 9000 delivers speed, control and serious capability.
