Summary

The Merida One-Sixty is a versatile enduro bike that excels in steep and rough terrain, offering plush suspension and impressive braking power.

Its value and spec are frequently highlighted, making it a strong contender in its category.

Merida One-Sixty 600 review

Jul 2018

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.

Merida One-Sixty 800 (2018) review - MBR

Jun 2018 · Alan Muldoon

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.

Highs
  • Great sizing and spec.

Lows
  • Slow to get going.

Merida One-Sixty 800 review

May 2018 · Rob Weaver

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

Highs
  • Supple suspension dishes out loads of grip, great brakes, smooth easy-to-adjust rear shock

Lows
  • Doesn't deliver a particularly lively ride, hard work on flatter trails, bar shape won't be for everyone

MERIDA ONE-SIXTY 8000 Review

Feb 2018 · Christoph Bayer

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? For an overview of the test fleet head to the group test: The Crème de la […]

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...

Feb 2018

Could this be the best bang-for-your-buck enduro-able rig going? The new Merida One-Sixty 800 had us double checking the price, it's specced to the hilt!

Highs
  • Unbelievable kit for the money!

  • A fun paint job that reminds us what it's all about.

Lows
  • We're sure there must be something...
