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
Aug 2021 · Tom Marvin
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
Dec 2020 · Graham Cottingham
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.

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.

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 · Felix Stix, Robin Schmitt, Jonas Müssig
As the name suggests, the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 10K comes with a hefty € 10,000 price tag. How does it compare to the even more expensive S-Works Levo?
Outstanding on the descents
Agile yet composed
Super quiet: no chain slap or cables rattling
No skid plate
Wheelset too fragile for aggressive use
