The Merida eOne-Sixty 500 Electric Mountain Bike is designed to bring the best of dual-suspension trail bikes and electric bikes to the same world. The award-winning legacy of the eOne-Sixty has been upgraded and improved, giving you an Enduro bike that feels as nimble as a regular bike on the downhills, but has the added bonus of a motor to get you back up the hills so you don’t have to wait for the shuttle! With perfectly-tuned MTB geometry, this bike is made for trail riding, but will also shine away from the enduro tracks, thanks to the comfortable geometry and more travel, it is also perfect as a capable alternative to a ‘normal’ mountain bike.
Jam-packed with amazing components, this bike features the high-quality Shimano EP8 drive unit and EP8 630 Wh battery. With 85 Nm of torque, and specifically designed clearance, this bike will help you tackle the toughest of terrains, but thanks to the comfortable geometry of the tough all-aluminium frame, it is also versatile enough to be your own ‘SUV’ of the trails, giving you confidence and fun when riding anything from a fire trail, or entry-level trails, to gnarly Enduro tracks. The 160mm of RockShox Gold air forks will help soak up the bumps and keep your ride smooth while the Merida Expert TR dropper seat post will help you shred those trails, getting the seat out of the road so you can focus on the fun. Shimano Hydraulic, 4-piston disc brakes will give you amazing braking control, even on rough terrain and fast descents, while the 11-speed gearset will help make those climbs that bit easier.
The mullet design, with a 29er in the front and 27.5” in the rear, offers the best of both worlds, allowing you to roll over obstacles with ease, while giving you a bike that is nimble and fun to flick around. Finishing touches like the unobtrusive ebike assistance level shifter that is perfectly placed to allow easy control, but still provide access to the dropper post lever and brake, really show why World of MTB gave the eOne-Sixty their ‘Best of 2021’ award. The innovative Merida Expert TR through-axle features a removable axle lever, which, when inserted into the axle, allows you to easily loosen or tighten the axle, and when removed it works as a 4mm Allen key, ready to go for any on-the-trail adjustments needed. These finishing features combined with the amazing base of a well-made frame with quality Shimano e-bike components come together into a capable bike that is equally at home on your local Enduro trails, or for your next weekend-long adventure.
