eONE-SIXTY 2022

The 2022 Merida eONE-SIXTY was the brand's e-enduro flagship, a mixed-wheel (29in front, 27.5in rear) machine with 160 mm of travel up front and 150 mm at the rear, driven by Shimano's EP8 motor and a 630 Wh internal battery (504 Wh on the XS size). Geometry is consistent across the range, with a 65.5° head angle, 75.5° seat angle and short 439.5 mm chainstays, giving reach figures from 400 mm (XS) to 480 mm (XL). It is now discontinued.

Two frames span the seven builds. The 10K, 9000 and 8000 use the carbon-front, alloy-rear eONE-SIXTY CFA II frame, while the 975, 775, 700 and 575 use the all-alloy eONE-SIXTY LITE III. The £10,000 10K is the halo build with a FOX 38 Factory fork, Float X2 shock, XTR brakes and a RockShox Reverb AXS post. The 9000 (£7,850) and 8000 (£6,350) step down to FOX Performance-level suspension and Shimano XT/SLX kit, and the alloy 700 (£5,750) pairs a Marzocchi Z1 fork with Shimano SLX for the best value in the line.

All builds share Maxxis Assegai / DHR II tyres (Kenda Regolith on the entry 575) and Merida's THERMO GATE and WIRE PORT frame features. The range was later superseded by EP801-equipped models and, more recently, by the Bosch-powered eONE-SIXTY SL and current-generation eONE-SIXTY. No forum owner data is included in this entry.
