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.
Nov 2020
Merida has updated their longest travel eOne-Sixty for 2021 with the all-new Shimano EP8 drive unit and a higher capacity battery. It delivers more power and range with refined performance and control, but it's the changes to the spec elsewhere that really let it fly, uphill and down. Buyer's guide: electric mountain bikes - all you need to know about e-bikes Big Read: Racing e-bikes at the EX Enduro; how much difference does a motor make Shimano STEPS EP8 e-bike drive system gets more torque and range The big news here is the brand-spanking new Shimano EP8 drive system.

We think the new eOne-Sixty 9000 is a good-looking bike. At first glance, it looks identical to the 2020 model. But there are a few important changes.
Dec 2019
The 2nd generation Merida eOne-Sixty has been one of the most hotly anticipated electric mountain bikes of the year. With a new carbon mainframe, a sleek integrated battery pack, reworked suspension kinematics and even a new wheelsize combo, the 2020 Merida eOne-Sixty is a considerably different beast to the old bike.
Hugely plush, ground-hugging suspension performance
Balanced and approachable all-round handling
Superb wheel and tyre combo
Impeccable shift quality from the XT drivetrain
Shimano E8000 motor isn't quite as smooth or as quiet as the Specialized Levo
Front-end steering can feel a little light at full-on DH speeds
Rear axle is neat, but awkward in use
