Flow Mountain BikeThe MERIDA comes very close to the definition of the perfect enduro bike!
Enduro Mountainbike MagazineComposed, silent and capable, the Merida One-Sixty 800 many not have as much travel as the name suggests, but it is still is a great bike for tackling chunky terrain.

The One-Sixty 600 is the most affordable model in Merida’s 160mm travel range but there are no shortcuts. It’s packing some decent equipment and the performance is nothing short of impressive, though it could stand to lose a bit of weight if I’m being super critical and I’d love to see a compression/climb switch on the rear shock.

The switch to aluminium not only expands the range, it also means the Merida One-Sixty now comes in four frame sizes rather than being restricted to three.
Great sizing and spec.
Slow to get going.

Not the liveliest or most fun on flatter trails but a total riot when things get steep and rough. Buy if you love hammering down steep, roughed-up trails where you're happy for the bike to do all the work
Supple suspension dishes out loads of grip, great brakes, smooth easy-to-adjust rear shock
Doesn't deliver a particularly lively ride, hard work on flatter trails, bar shape won't be for everyone

The Merida One-Sixty 800 had us at the spec sheet, after triple-checking the price it was confirmed; this bike is kick arse value. But money doesn't buy you friends, just like all the best parts won't ride themselves.
Crazy value spec.
Efficient pedaller despite its size.
Short reach and sharp angles feel nervous at speed.
Linear suspension needs attention for heavier riders.

The MERIDA ONE-SIXTY has already been able to convince us in previous reviews. Back then the bike was held back somewhat by poor componentry choices, but surely this shouldn’t be an issue with a top-of-the-range modes. Or is it?

The One-Sixty is Merida’s longest travel full suspension bike, with 160mm of rear travel and a 170mm travel fork. Designed as a big, burly all-mountain rig made for going down...
