The eOne-Sixty has everything an enduro e-MTB needs. The frame, chassis and add-on parts not only look as if they have been cast from the same mould. Short chainstays ensure agility when cornering, while the powerful Rockshox suspension provides composure even at high speeds. The wide handlebars and short stubby stem ensure control, and the tyres bite into both dry and wet terrain. Although downhill is clearly the Merida's hobbyhorse, it also climbs steeper ramps surprisingly well. The rearing front wheel can be controlled with physical effort.
Conclusion: Top chassis, good drive and powerful components - a top enduro bike.
