Here’s a detailed description of Merida eONE SIXTY 8000 — the Grey/Black Carbon edition of the e-MTB from Merida. It’s a high-end electric mountain bike designed for all-mountain and enduro riding.
Key Specifications & Build
• Frame: Carbon (CF4) full-suspension frame — lightweight yet sturdy.
• Suspension travel: 160 mm front and rear — giving strong capability for rough, technical trails and big descents.
• Wheels / tyres: Designed for up to 29″ × 2.6″ wheels/tire size.
• Fork: High-end suspension fork — 170 mm travel, tapered headtube, built for robust e-MTB use.
• Rear shock: Premium air shock (model: Fox Float X Performance) with 2-position lever for adjusting suspension response.
Electric Drive & Battery
• Motor: Mid-drive motor — Shimano EP801, delivering 85 Nm torque. This gives you strong assistance for climbs and rough terrain.
• Battery: Integrated internal battery (Trendpower / Shimano Gen 2) — around 600 Wh capacity (specs may list up to 630 Wh depending on region).
• Battery integration & design: The battery is intube (built into the frame), maintaining a sleek look and centralized mass for better handling.
Thus, the bike offers a significant boost when climbing or tackling steep terrain — while still feeling manageable and balanced when riding unassisted.
Drivetrain & Components
• Gearing: Shimano XT Di2 electronic drivetrain, 11-speed with an 11–50 T cassette — wide range for climbing and descending.
• Crank / chainring: 1× setup — FSA 36-tooth steel chainring; crank arms (Shimano FC-E8150) 165 mm on all sizes.
• Brakes: Hydraulic disc brakes (Shimano XT), 4-piston calipers — strong and reliable stopping power for downhill and technical terrain.
• Wheels & tires: Stock wheels ready for tubeless setup; tyres often Maxxis (e.g. Assegai front, Minion DHR II rear) — giving good grip and control in mixed terrain.
Ride Feel & Intended Use
• Use case: Designed for enduro and all-mountain riding — meaning it’s great on technical singletrack, steep climbs, rough descents, rocky terrain, and mixed surfaces.
• Geometry & Handling: The carbon frame, integrated battery, and suspension design give a balanced, stable but agile ride. The bike maintains good maneuverability — beneficial when navigating tight trails while still delivering stability at speed or on rough descents.
• Electric assistance + natural ride feel: With a powerful mid-motor and integrated frame design, the assistance feels smooth and natural, making steep climbs or long rides much easier — but when the motor is off or battery low, the geometry and suspension still give real bike-like handling.
Build Quality & Technical Highlights
Merida includes a number of technologies in the eONE-SIXTY series to improve durability, ride quality, and maintenance:
• Internal cable routing — cables and wiring are routed inside the frame for a clean look and better protection.
• Frame construction quality — the carbon manufacturing process uses methods (like “Nano Matrix Carbon”, “HFS Hydro-Forming”, “Smooth Welding”) to maximize frame strength, rigidity and impact resistance while keeping weight low.
• Integrated protection features: e.g. “Internal Block” to prevent the fork crown from hitting the frame in extreme steering or crash scenarios; “Thermo Gate” ventilation to help dissipate battery heat for consistent performance.
• Flexstay / P-FLEX suspension design — reduces the number of pivots (less maintenance, more reliability, lighter weight) while keeping suspension performance high.
For Whom / When It’s a Great Choice
This bike is ideal if you:
• Love trail-riding, all-mountain or enduro MTB — especially rough terrain, climbs & descents, technical trails.
• Want the benefits of e-assist (powerful motor + integrated battery) for long rides / steep climbs / heavy terrain — but still want real MTB feel when the assist is off.
• Appreciate high-end components and build quality — top-tier suspension, drivetrain, brakes, strong carbon frame.
• Want a versatile e-MTB: suitable for aggressive downhill, long uphill climbs, mixed terrain — a do-it-all mountain e-bike.
Here’s why many riders choose the Merida eONE SIXTY 8000 — what makes it stand out and how it could be a great match depending on how and where you ride:
What makes this bike a strong choice
• Raw power + light carbon build — The eONE SIXTY 8000 combines a full-carbon CF4 frame with a powerful mid-motor (Shimano EP801, 85 Nm) and 600 Wh internal battery. This gives you the kind of pedal-assist boost that turns steep climbs and long rides into manageable (or even effortless) challenges — without sacrificing the lightness and agility of a premium carbon frame.
• Full suspension ready for enduro + all-mountain terrain — With about 170 mm front travel and ~174 mm rear travel, plus a top-tier suspension and geometry treatment inherited from serious enduro bikes, it’s built to handle rough, technical trails, big descents, jumps and demanding terrain — while still remaining controllable.
• Balanced geometry & versatile wheel setup — The design uses mixed wheels (29″ front, 27.5″ rear) as standard for a nice balance between control and maneuverability, but you can switch to a full 29″ setup without messing up the handling thanks to the frame design. That gives good flexibility depending on trail conditions or riding style.
• High-end components & smooth ride experience — Equipped with a premium drivetrain (Shimano XT Di2), robust brakes (hydraulic disc), tubeless-ready wheels/tires, adjustable dropper post, and refined details like internal cable routing, the bike delivers reliability, smooth shifting, strong braking, and clean setup.
• E-bike convenience without feeling like a heavy e-bike — Despite being an e-MTB, many riders find the eONE SIXTY 8000 handles more like a “real” full-suspension MTB than a bulky electric bike. That means you get the assistance when needed — climbs, long rides, heavy terrain — but still retain an agile, bike-like feel on trails or technical descents.
Who and when this bike makes sense
You’d particularly benefit from this bike if you:
• Regularly ride technical trails, steep climbs, long downhill runs or mixed terrain — conditions where a strong motor + full suspension + versatile setup shine.
• Want an e-MTB that still feels agile and responsive, not like a heavy “electric cargo-bike.”
• Appreciate high-end components and build quality that deliver smooth shifting, reliable braking, good traction and long-term durability.
• Seek a “do-it-all” mountain e-bike — something capable for serious enduro and downhill, yet usable for trail rides, mixed terrain or long rides.
• Want electric assistance to make climbs/long rides easier — especially useful if you’re tackling big hills, long distances, or carrying extra load.
Trade-offs to consider.
It’s worth noting that a bike like this — powerful and full-featured — comes at a premium cost (not just money, but also maintenance and care). If you only ride easy dirt tracks or smooth commuting roads, its capabilities may be overkill. Also, heavy suspension and strong motor mean you’re carrying more weight than a simple hardtail or cross-country bike — and battery maintenance (charging, care) becomes part of the routine.
Bottom line: If you want a top-tier electric mountain bike that blends serious enduro/off-road capability with modern e-assist convenience — and you ride challenging terrain often — the Merida eONE SIXTY 8000 is one of the most balanced and high-performing choices out there today.
