Instead of one bike for everyday use and one for your free time, many people are looking for one bike to do everything. That's why we brought the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 10K, the winner of the all-rounder group test in our sister magazine E-MOUNTAINBIKE, into this test. Does it also cut a good figure while commuting?
Extravagant carbon looks with metallic paint
Super sporty bike for hobby and leisure time
Premium build for trail use
Minimal everyday accessories
Unfamiliar handling for anyone without mountain bike experience
Narrow range of applications

Merida’s top-spec electric mountain bike comes dripping with high-end kit, but does this help on the trail?
Very smooth, composed suspension
Good handling on a wide variety of trails
For the most part, the spec list is second to none
A longer front end would improve performance
The front end is pretty high and the seat tube quite tall
The light and rear fender don’t add anything to the package

The MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 10K secured victory as the best all-rounder in our big eMTB group test. It’s smooth, precise and incredibly fast but still conveys huge amounts of confidence thanks to its good-natured handling, managing to combine apparent opposites. But where does it stand against the analogue competition?
Very wide range of applications
Fast, safe and fun for everyone
Perfect spec
Flawless integration of the Shimano system
Loud clunking noise from inside the EP8 motor
Long seat tube

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 new Shimano EP8 e-bike motor has just hit the market and the new Merida eOne-Sixty 8000 is the first e-bike to get it.
A blast to ride. Smooth, unobtrusive motor.
Rear wheel fell apart. Basic fork.

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.
