A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

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.

Pros
  • 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

Cons
  • 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

Key Quotes
It was one of the best e-enduro bikes around at the time.

Merida eONE-SIXTY 9000 review

Dec 2020 · Graham Cottingham

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 eOne-Sixty 10K 2020 review

Oct 2019

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. The best trail and enduro mountain bike wheelsets, tried and tested Which disc brake pads are best for mountain bikes? Sintered or organic?

In duel – MERIDA eONE-FORTY vs. MERIDA eONE-SIXTY

Aug 2019 · Christoph Bayer

The MERIDA eONE-FORTY and eONE-SIXTY don’t only look similar, they were also designed by the same team. But despite this, their characters and handling are fundamentally different.

Merida eONE-SIXTY 10K first ride review

Jun 2019 · Tom Marvin

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

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • More experienced riders may look for extra reach, and I struggled occasionally with front-end traction.

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.
