Durable and robust construction
Excellent suspension performance
Versatile handling and geometry
Great balance between downhill and climbing efficiency
Feature-rich design with practical elements
Heavier than some competitors
Basic drivetrain and wheels on lower specs
Internal cable routing can be cumbersome
Low stack height may require adjustments for steep terrain
It’s energetic where others flounder, forgiving where it matters most and never failed to deliver confidence when I wanted to push things that bit further.
BikeRadarFor such a long travel bike, we love how much fun the Merida One-Sixty is to ride.
Flow Mountain BikeMERIDA nailed the recipe for the perfect all-rounder: plenty of freedom of movement, predictable handling and an excellent suspension.

The Merida ONE-SIXTY is an impressively well rounded Enduro machine, with pleasant climbing manners and versatile descending performance.
Dec 2023
The One-Sixty is Merida’s recently updated enduro bike. Using the very same frame as the One-Forty, it takes all of that goodness but simply ups the travel, unlocking the frame’s hidden potential and creating an absolute ripper that’s nothing short of capable. While it’s mega proficient downhill, the One-Sixty 500 is equally as impressive when it comes to cranking back up, all while delivering some serious bang for the buck and engaging yet forgiving trail dynamics. Not only is it one of the best mountain bikes on the market, it’s a very solid stepping stone into enduro racing.

Harmonious concept
Front-heavy pedalling position on level ground

Forget everything you knew about the Merida One-Sixty, pretty much the only thing linking this bike with its predecessors is its moniker

Climbs well for a longer travel bike
Excellent electronic shifting

Geometry flip chip for 27.5 or 29in wheels

Hefty tires are slow rolling
