The Merida eOne-Sixty from 2018 is an electric mountain bike with powered by a Shimano Steps E8000 Drive Unit. The Merida eONE-Sixty includes a special made chain guard & Metric shock spacing which gives more room at the front triangle.
The 160mm travel front & rear design plus an aluminium frame gives all the newest features like complete internal cable routing, 27.5+ tyres & boost standard wheels. The geometry of the 2018 Merida eONE Sixty gives an agile and playful riding style; 440mm reach ie Size M, 439mm chain short stays, 75° seat and 66.5° head angles.
The Merida eONE-Sixty is one degree steeper in the head angle, a touch taller on the headtube and a smaller shorter reach. However these are subtle changes and not a redesign of the whole unit. It however, manages to only add 10mm on the chainstays keeping the bicycle compact, this patrly is due to the Shimano Steps system neatening things up.
The eONE-sixty has oversized tyres, 2.8 inch Maxxis Minions. The bike has 160mm of travel front and rear and is great for mountain and enduro rides. The gear system is Shimano XT Di2 powered from the battery pack. The bike is fitted with Fox Factory suspension, DT Swiss cover wheels and big 200mm Shimano Saint discs to slow things down with a Reverb to keep your seat in the right place.
