The 2.4 on the back sounds like a great idea. I'm really happy with the Michelin tyres at the moment and will try the 2.4 Wild Enduro Rear when my 2.6 is worn out.

UPDATE: so I got the e160 900e and love it! Excited after getting it I just rode with the DHR2 stock tyres (Front 19, Rear 23 with Huck Norris insert). I got a sidewall tear on the rear on the first ride in 20mins. I was keen to get more eMTBing in so ordered a set of the Eddy Currents. Big...

Thanks to everyone for their input on this. I went with the large and am really happy with the fit!

Awesome Bob! It’s great to get all of the feedback. Makes the purchase a no brainer!

They all look great but I’m also keen on the geometry of the Merida as the chain stays are quite long on the Trek and the Giant as opposed to the e160 which I think will suit my style more.

Wow, $6K is a great deal! Can I ask where you got it from? I’m in Brisbane.

Thanks for the info! With everyone’s feedback, I’m feeling quite assured that large is the right size for me!

This is great! I’m in Brisbane so 99 bikes had the large for me to try out but and XL is a special order only. Large is looking like the one!

Hey flash & Laker123. Thanks for the advice. I checked out the Merida Australia size chart and my size according to that is 19.5”. They don’t actually have the corresponding size for this but it tends to be a large in other brands. Decisions, decisions!

I’ll be getting an e160 in March and am still confirming sizing. I’m 186cm and weigh in at 84kg’s. My local dealer only has a large that I could try out. It felt good but I won’t be able to compare it to an XL. I’ve read some forums and articles that say anyone over 185cm should ride and XL and...

Thanks for all of the info. Good to know about the tyre pressure and like you, I would be more than happy with the 160mm fork upfront. I did some test riding and will be going with the large as it'll be less longer for my back to reach and also had more of that nimble type of feel that I like...

Hi Craig, thanks for that. I was a good view. I guess I'm more so looking at feel and playfulness as opposed to the pure speed side of things. Good to know though if I ever enter a race!

Great! will be excellent to hear your thoughts on it. I'd still like to the stick with the 160mm travel fork up front so let me know how you go!

Is anyone running 2.5” or 2.6” tyres on their e160? I’ll be getting an Ebike in March and have recently tested a Thok MiG. I was sold on the ebike vibe from the first pedal stroke! I’m seriously looking at the e160 900. With my test ride I did find the 2.8 tyres to be huge and also have read...

Awesome! Thanks for that. Makes for a simple and cost effective upgrade.

When changing over to the 4 pot calipers, did you have to use new hoses as well or do they just go on the end of the existing brake hose? I’m looking at getting the 900 and this is also and upgrade I’d be interested in doing.
