Summary
The Merida eOne-Sixty is a versatile enduro eMTB that excels in playful descending and offers controlled power delivery for climbing. Its suspension performance is generally praised for being capable and grounded, though some reviews note the fork can feel overwhelmed under hard use. The bike's design integrates the battery and motor seamlessly, maintaining a sleek profile without overtly signaling its electric nature.
Playful descending characteristics suits a range of trail types
Controlled delivery of power helps with ambitious climbing
Integrated battery and motor for a slimline package
Capable suspension and grounded geometry figures
Great looking bike that doesn’t scream ‘powered by electricity’
Dropper post has developed some wiggle over time
Two-pot caliper and smaller 180mm disc at the rear may not suffice for long steep descents
Fork can feel overwhelmed on fast brutal chatter or exaggerated braking bumps
Rear wheel fell apart in some instances
EP8 motor burns through battery quicker than similar capacity Bosch-equipped bikes
Merida has created a great looking bike that doesn’t scream ‘powered by electricity’.
Bike PerfectThe eONE-SIXTY's 65.5-degree head angle keeps steering sharp and precise through twistier singletrack.
Bike PerfectNo other bike on test manages to combine composure and stability at high-speed, with agility and fun, quite as well as the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 10K.
E-Mountainbike MagazineShimano’s new EP8 motor gives a very natural power output, with no surging, but it prefers high revs.
MBRThe absolutely top-drawer build kit does go some way to justifying that price.

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?
Dec 2020 · Danny Milner
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.
