The eONE-EIGHTY follows the tired and tested full-power electric mountain bike<\/a> formula of ‘more is better’.<\/p> Along with boasting 180mm of rear-wheel travel<\/a>, it sports Bosch\u2019s massive 800Wh battery, coil-shock compatible kinematics and a chunky spec designed for descending. <\/p> Its gravity-focused geometry is based around Merida\u2019s Agilometer sizing, with the Mid frame getting a 460mm reach, and, of course, it runs mixed wheels<\/a> (29in front, 27.5in rear).<\/p> The new eONE-SIXTY SL also follows recent trends. Along with Bosch\u2019s SX electric bike motor<\/a> and internal 400Wh battery, its full carbon-fibre frame<\/a> and full build contribute to a respectable claimed 19.5kg weight.<\/p> Merida claims it has fitted no-compromises components in a bid to keep the weight down, with a special mention going to Maxxis\u2019 EXO+ casing tyres front and rear across the range.<\/p> The brand’s Agilometer sizing is present and correct, with headline figures including a 466mm reach on the Mid-size bike and a 64-degree head angle. Like the long-travel eONE-EIGHTY, it runs mixed wheels.<\/p> Along with its Bosch motor, the move to a different suspension design is the biggest switch-up for Merida\u2019s new bike.<\/p> Up to this point, all of Merida\u2019s current-gen full-suspension bikes \u2013\u00a0human-powered and electric \u2013 have used a flex-stay suspension design, forgoing a physical pivot between the chainstays and seatstays.<\/p> The alloy-framed eONE-EIGHTY adds that physical pivot back in, creating a linkage-driven single-pivot design. Merida says it has changed the design because of the sheer amount of travel available; a flex-stay design can\u2019t reliably handle 180mm of squish.<\/p> All that suspension travel has been tweaked for each size of the bike; the kinematics differ depending on how big the bike is, designed to accommodate different-sized riders.<\/p> Using the Agilometer geometry system, Merida has basically kept standover and seat-tube lengths minimal, so riders can size up depending on their reach requirements. The reach spans 415mm (XShort) to 505mm (XLong).<\/p> Stack heights, however, start and remain high across the board. The lowest is 652mm (XShort), while the XLong gets a 670mm figure.<\/p>2025 Merida eONE-EIGHTY tech highlights<\/h2>
