2021 Merida e160 500 (February Delivery)

The 'original' eONE-SIXTY is the most decorated, tested and awarded bike in MERIDA’s history and has shaped what MERIDA is known for today: innovation, quality and outstanding performance. However, after three years at the top of the e-enduro ranking, it was time to distil the essence of the 'old' eONE-SIXTY, incorporate the latest trends and standards, and create the new version: goodbye and hello eONE-SIXTY - the new MERIDA benchmark for dynamic and design.

The new eONE-SIXTY once again embodies e-enduro bikes, instead of the normally needed shuttle to session your favourite tracks, you have your own built-in engine to assist you to the top. On downhills, it still feels like a normal bike, agile due to its perfectly tuned MTB geometry, but more planted because of the higher weight. All in all, it’s a super fun bike with a clear focus on trail riding. But the last few years have shown that our eONE-SIXTY is also often used as a kind of 'SUV' bike. Because of the advantages of more travel, bigger tyres and comfortable geometry, it also shines away from the enduro tracks and offers a super fun, comfortable and capable alternative to a ‘normal’ mountain bike.

The eONE-SIXTY is positioned as a high-end state of the art e-bike. Material, design and integration are cutting edge. Nothing less could be expected after the super successful first generation eONE-SIXTY which influenced a whole generation of e-bikes.

INTENDED USE

Trail riding! Geometry, travel and specification make this bike perfect for demanding trail riding. It doesn’t matter if its a playful easy trail or a hardcore enduro track. The new eONE-SIXTY loves it all.

But besides its enduro and trail riding abilities, the eONE-SIXTY is also a hugely capable and enjoyable ‘SUV' bike. Because of the travel, the comfortable and upright riding position the eONE-SIXTY gives a lot of confidence and offers a real alternative to a ‘normal’ mountain bike. If a 2nd battery or charging device is carried, it can also be used for all day riding or multi-day excursions.
