Looks good Adam- have just ordered the same bike in XL 183cm- lanky arms, sight unseen (colour) I'm told I will have it by the weekend. Your photo looks better than the Spec site as the colour looks a bit washed out on the white background so thanks for that!
I'm coming off an E160 900e 2018...
I was told yesterday by rep for new Merida - Carbon frame, carbon wheels, 29 front, 27.5 rear, 500w internal battery with free second battery, Fox factory front and rear, Shimano XTR 1 x12 sp, 2 colours black or a nice green ( slightly different to current) Big money though 11k AU...
Sorry to hear that Bob
I found this in my travels and kept it for future reference in case of bad luck.
Shimano XT Di2 RD-M8050 Shadow+GS Direct, Bikeinn
I get around 40km on mostly fire trails with occasional D/H and some climbing. I'm 95kg
I can stretch it to 70km if riding on sealed roads, with a mix of eco and trail medium on the big hills. Merida 160 900E Awesome bike with reliable and strong motor.
