Summary
The Merida eONE-SIXTY is a versatile and well-rounded enduro e-bike, praised for its balanced handling, plush suspension, and excellent integration of motor and battery. While it excels in comfort and traction, some riders may find its geometry conservative and the front-end traction occasionally lacking. Its performance is often compared favorably to competitors, though it may lack the 'wow factor' of newer models.
Excellent rear suspension with great sensitivity and progression
Balanced and good-natured handling
Ultra versatile and very composed in all terrain
Proven componentry and secure cable management
Comfortable and upright riding position
Geometry is very middle of the road, which may not suit all preferences
Struggled occasionally with front-end traction
Shimano SLX brakes are underpowered
Internal Block System can be frustrating for bike storage
Front end felt a touch high for some tastes and riding styles
It was one of the best e-enduro bikes around at the time.
BikeRadarThe MERIDA eONE-SIXTY is a classic and knows how to play to its strengths.

For 2021, Merida’s eOne-Sixty 9000 comes equipped with Shimano’s EP8 motor and a Fox 38 fork, but is this enough of a performance boost?

The steering is so sharp on the Merida eOne-Sixty 8000. We were seeking out every little ledge and potential jump on the trails.

Merida's eOne-Sixty 10K sits at the very top of the brand's long-travel e-bike range, with a carbon fibre front end with integrated 500Wh battery driving a Shimano motor and mismatched size wheels. It's got handling that strikes the right balance between agility and outright stability, but harder or heavier riders might find the rear end too willing to give up the travel if they want to push their limits.

Merida moves a step closer to making e-bikes the new 'normal' with the release of the new Merida eOne-sixty 10K.
Suspension.
Ride quality.
Geometry is still relatively conservative.
Expensive.

This is a first ride review based on a day's riding on unfamiliar trails. A full review will follow once we've spent more time on the bike on tracks we know
Merida's rear suspension is excellent, with great sensitivity and plenty of progression. The integration of the motor and battery is excellent — the designers have clearly thought about real-world use
More experienced riders may look for extra reach, and I struggled occasionally with front-end traction.

The MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 800 has been in our group tests for the third time now. Can the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 800 still hold its ground?
Balanced and good-natured handling
Ultra versatile
Very composed in all terrain
Shimano SLX brakes are underpowered
Ergonomics of the cockpit
Suspension overdamped for light riders
No motor protection

A latecomer to our e-bike testing but a winner too. Shimano Steps drive and Plus sized tyres add up to a very compelling design.
