Gearing

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

The MERIDA eONE-SIXTY is a true evergreen and now wants to secure victory in our 2022 budget group test. The new eONE-SIXTY 975 enters the race with a Shimano EP8 motor and bigger battery than its predecessor, offering 750 Wh capacity!

  • Fun and fast for everyone

  • Confidence-inspiring

  • The spec is suitable for everyday use as well as for trail riding

2022 Merida eOne-Sixty 975 - the next iteration

May 2022 · Knut Nes

We just received a Merida eOne-Sixty 975 to review the new Shimano Linkglide drivetrain. But we had to do a short piece...

MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 10K in review

Sep 2021 · Rudolf Fischer

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?

Highs
  • Extravagant carbon looks with metallic paint

  • Super sporty bike for hobby and leisure time

  • Premium build for trail use

Lows
  • Minimal everyday accessories

  • Unfamiliar handling for anyone without mountain bike experience

  • Narrow range of applications

Merida eONE-SIXTY 10k review (2021)

Aug 2021 · Tom Marvin

Merida’s top-spec electric mountain bike comes dripping with high-end kit, but does this help on the trail?

Highs
  • Very smooth, composed suspension

  • Good handling on a wide variety of trails

  • For the most part, the spec list is second to none

Lows
  • 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

MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 10K in review - sEriously?

Jun 2021 · Peter Walker

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?

Highs
  • Very wide range of applications

  • Fast, safe and fun for everyone

  • Perfect spec

  • Flawless integration of the Shimano system

Lows
  • Loud clunking noise from inside the EP8 motor

  • Long seat tube

Merida eOne-Sixty 9000 Review | More power, more range & more muscle for 2021

Jan 2021

For 2021, the wildly popular Merida eOne-Sixty has been updated with more power, more range, and more capability. How much better is it than the previous version? We got one in to find out - read on for our 2021 Merida eOne-Sixty 9000 review.

Highs
  • Superb all-round handling

  • Plush and active suspension performance

  • Mullet setup and sticky front tyre allows you to rail turns

  • The EP8 motor is smooth, quiet, responsive and intuitive

  • Tougher tyres are a welcome addition

  • Bristling with nice finishing details

Lows
  • Rattling noise from the EP8 motor

  • Integrated Lezyne light is neat, but not suited to off-road use

  • It's heavier and more expensive than last year's bike

Merida eONE-SIXTY 9000 review

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?
