Summary
The Merida eOne Sixty is a highly praised enduro eMTB, known for its smooth and composed suspension, excellent handling, and the powerful Shimano EP8 motor. It excels in providing a balanced ride quality, with a supple suspension feel that offers great traction on climbs and stability on descents. Despite some minor issues like motor noise and a relatively short reach, it's celebrated for its versatility and performance across a wide range of trails.
Smooth and composed suspension
Excellent handling on a variety of trails
Powerful and refined Shimano EP8 motor
Good balance in geometry and stability
Versatile performance across different terrains
EP8 motor can produce a rattling noise
Relatively short reach for larger sizes
Front end could be longer for improved performance
Battery capacity display could be more detailed
The rear wheel seems glued to the ground, generating traction in places where you wouldn’t think traction was possible.
BikeRadarThe new EP8 motor is easier to control at maximum power.
EMTB ForumsA master in all categories. The MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 700 strikes a fine balance between composure and agility.

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
ago 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

Not long ago, the MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 10K was able to assert itself against 25 of the most exciting bikes of the season in our big Best eMTB of 2021 group test. Retail price is € 10,000. Do you really have to spend this much? To find out, we pitted the cheaper MERIDA eONE-SIXTY 700 with its Shimano EP8 motor, 630 Wh battery and alloy frame against the competition of our budget group test. Can the more affordable € 5,599 version keep up with the outstanding trail performance of its top-end counterpart? We found out.
Fast, safe and fun for everyone
Confidence-inspiring
Everyday functionality meets trail performance
Tidy, ergonomic cockpit
Mixed drivetrain
Wheelset quality
Demanding uphill
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?
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
ene 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.
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
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
dic 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?
dic 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.
