eMTB know how

Every ounce of our eMTB know-how goes into the eONE-SIXTY 500, with award-winning handling paired to a sleek, all-aluminium frame that houses a high-capacity 630 Wh battery and powerful Shimano EP8 drive unit. Add in the confidence of long-travel RockShox suspension and the control of powerful Shimano brakes and refined drivetrain and no trail is out of reach.

Award winning

"The eONE-SIXTY has seamlessly followed in the footsteps of the 'original' eONE-SIXTY in becoming the most decorated, tested and awarded bike in MERIDA's history. This highly anticipated bike managed to collect a vast amount of amazing test results and wins, as well as a few more industry awards to its tally. E-Mountainbike gave it the 'BEST IN TEST' approval in their 'Best of 2021' eMTB group test, World of MTB also gave it their 'Best of 2021' award and FREERIDE gave the 9000 the almost perfect score of 9.5 out of ten, just to mention a few. For 2022, our all-aluminium e-enduro bike will be equipped with the proven EP8 motor from Shimano as well as with the range extending 630 Wh or 750 Wh (model specific) internal battery. A perfectly tuned MTB geometry, paired with a tough all-aluminium frame, seamlessly integrated battery and a 29er/27.5" (mullett anyone) wheel combo that delivers poise and confidence on the toughest trails, the eONE-SIXTY is ready for anything you can throw at it.

Flow MTB summed it up perfectly

"The eOne-Sixty is the 160/155mm travel option, which features a mullet wheelsize setup with a 29×2.5in tyre up front and a 27.5×2.6in tyre out back. Travel and geometry remain the same as the 2020 version and for less than seven grand, the eOne-Sixty 500 still gets you a Shimano EP8 motor, 630Wh battery, Shimano 1×12 drivetrain and RockShox air-sprung suspension."
