MERIDA EONE SIXTY 10K CARBON EMTB

The eONE-SIXTY has seamlessly followed in the footsteps of the original bike in becoming one of the most lauded bikes in MERIDA's history. It has collected a vast amount of amazing test results, wins and industry awards, with E-Mountainbike giving it 'BEST IN TEST' in their 'Best of 2021' eMTB group test, World of MTB awarding it their 'Best of 2021' award and FREERIDE giving it an almost perfect score of 9.5 out of 10.

The eONE-SIXTY embodies e-enduro riding, shuttling you to the top with ease yet feeling like a normal bike on downhills. Agile due to its perfectly tuned MTB geometry, but more planted because of the higher weight. Now equipped with the proven EP8 motor from Shimano as well as with a seamlessly integrated 630 Wh internal battery. Perfectly tuned MTB geometry is paired with a stiff, lightweight carbon chassis and a mixed wheel size combo that delivers confidence on the toughest trails.

The eONE-SIXTY is ready for anything you can throw at it.

Trail and enduro riding! Geometry, travel and specification make this bike perfect for demanding trail riding or enduro racing. It doesn’t matter if it’s a playful easy trail or a hardcore enduro track. The eONE-SIXTY loves it all.

But besides its enduro and trail riding abilities, the eONE-SIXTY is also a hugely capable and enjoyable ‘SUV' bike. Because of the travel, the comfortable and upright riding position the eONE-SIXTY gives a lot of confidence and offers a real alternative to a ‘normal’ mountain bike.

The eONE-SIXTY is powered by the latest EP8 motor from Shimano. This modern power unit brings a long list of upgrades and changes to the table that has elevated the eONE-SIXTY to the next level. The EP8 unit delivers a maximum power output of 85 Nm, which is an increase of 15 Nm from the previous E8000 unit. This has improved the performance on extreme terrain as well as lift up the other support levels, making them universally more capable and more fun to use. Paired with the high-capacity 630 Wh battery, the EP8 system delivers a huge range extension, making it easier to cruise for longer or do more runs. 

Further to that, the power unit has lost approx. 300 g in weight, has further improved its heat-resistance, allowing the rider to go harder for longer, is quieter and smaller and has managed to achieve a 36% reduction in drag, making cruising about the cut-out speed even easier.  All this helps to deliver smooth, direct power to ensure that the rider is always in complete control while experiencing a natural ride feel.

HFS - HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM

Tubes are inserted into negative moulds and a hot emulsion of water and oil is forced through at pressure, enabling them to be formed into complex shapes.

X-TAPER HEADTUBE

Our X-Tapered headtube offers the space for a tapered fork to be fitted. Tapered forks offer superb stiffness and precise and deliver confidence-inspiring steering. 

SMOOTH WELDING

Sometimes called ‘double pass welding’, a second pass over the weld gives a clean organic look to the frame. At first glance, you will be convinced it is carbon.

INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Cables are routed through the frame, entering and exiting through smooth sockets. The bike looks neat, whilst the cables are protected from moisture and dirt.

SMART ENTRY

Cables, housings and brake hoses are clamped under tension to prevent rattling when the trails or roads get rough. All inlets are completely interchangeable to deal with Di2, hydraulic hoses, brake cable and gear cable housings etc.

DI2 READY

Bikes/frames with the symbol ‘Di2 Ready’ are prepared for the installation of Di2 technology with battery mounting in the seat post or within the fork steerer.

NANO MATRIX CARBON

To protect the integrity of carbon frames, the fibres are bonded together with an epoxy resin with added nano particles, increasing impact resistance by up to 40%.

K-MOUNT

Integrated mount on the chainstay to fit a MERIDA kickstand (or any commercial kickstand).

AWS - ANTI WRINKLE SYSTEM

When creating the individual carbon elements, an inflatable bladder is used to ensure there are no wrinkles inside the tube as these can add weight and create weakness. This results in a lighter, stiffer and stronger frame.

INTERNAL BLOCK

First introduced in our 2015 NINETY-SIX, the new version of the 'Internal Block' is incorporated directly in the frame and prevents the fork crown from hitting the frame in case of a crash or an extreme steering angle. As an extra protection, there are additional rubber bumpers on the frame to avoid any frame damage from the fork crown.

THERMO GATE

Specifically located openings near the head tube which work like a chimney and allow the warm air to dissipate to guarantee the optimum operating temperature of the internal battery. The THERMO GATE enables the battery to perform at its best, in any condition.

ENERGY GUARD

A two-component battery cover, which offers perfect protection for the internal battery. The softer (outer) layer reduces noises, seals the downtube perfectly and absorbs hits from trail debris easily, while the harder (inner) layer ensures that the battery does not get damaged and gives it the structural shape. All critical parts like the rubber strap and o-rings for perfect fitting can be replaced.
